Susan's Place Transgender Resources

I moved to Washington, originally Vancouver now Woodland, about 6 months ago. Things have been very trying since I first arrived. Before I decided to come here there were tons of jobs for Linux Admins trying to start their career. By the time that I got here however they were gone/taken. I eventually, after about 4 months of working temp places here and there, found a stable but part time job. It was not in my field but it seemed like a good place to work. Thing were going great at first until they decided to put me on evening shifts part of the week. I came in to work tired every evening that I worked and had a hard time keeping things together with the evening chaos. I did my best and kept open lines of communication about the situation. My boss assured me on multiple occasions that "worst case scenario you will just have to work a couple of day shifts per week and nothing else". So you can imagine how I felt when I was blindsided by being fired over the phone. I am a one thing at a time, deep thinking type person. I am just not cut out to do 5 things at once. No one is really but somehow a lot of people manage. I have no friends other than my roommates who are more into each other (for obvious reasons) than caring about me. One of them was one of my best friends but now he is occupied with her and I never get to spend any time with him like I used to. Sorry just needed to vent. Feeling rather lonely and broken here. If anyone knows of any jobs for someone with my skill set please let me know!6

Sorry this happened to you *hugs*

Are there job agencies in this place ?

You could also phone a few prospective companies, sometimes they happen to look for somebody ...

You may ask you frineds for some support anyways.

You could also look for meetups ...
and have a look at local lgbt places ...


hugs

I may be offering something you already have or are trying out, but I believe it were me, I would focus my attention on the Longview/Kelso area.  I once (quite some time ago) lived in both cities.  The reason is, is that Vancouver is large enough for the job competition to be fairly fierce.  The opposite may be true for the Longview/Kelso area.  I mention this as only recently I drove through this area and was a bit startled by its growth, and....to let you know you've been heard, that is important especially when feeling alone.  Laura_7 beat me to it though  :).  I hope this reaches you having already found your solution.   Dani
