Hey, everybody, I could use some input!

I got halfway through this thread and gave up.
Marichiko, if you still read the board and havent been driven away by some of the small minded, compassionless crap that gets spewed your way ( undeservedly in my opinion) then I just want to say good luck! Go for the job, it doesnt matter whether you get it or not, just applying is a start point. Engaging in the process at all will be good practise for the next and who knows maybe they are broadminded enough to give you a shot despite your lack of experience/qualifications.

I am really saddened to see the disdain you are subjected to by some of the people here. Disdain that seems to be based on a lack of empathy and compassion. I do not think you are maudlin, I do not think you talk only about your problems and I do not think your posts are in any way boring or annoying. As far as I am concerned yours is one of the names I look for in order to read an interesting post. Wolf, Jaguar, Catwoman, Lady Syc, Sycamore and Onyx Cougar are also on that mental list as is tw.

Keep us posted about your jobsearch and dont be put off by some of the less pleasant responses. Look through this thread and you'lll see many people who do care and are interested and who are quite happy to take the information you give about yourself at face value instead of weighing you down with a whole heap of doubts.
