The Pittsburgh Botanic Garden Fall 2014
Image
Wow! It's been a long time. Too long. As I begin my journey to de-clutter my life I noticed that I have not visited my own site for two years. A lot has happened in two years, both good & bad. The kids are growing & turning into wonderful young adults. On the down side, the recent passing of my mom. She did peacefully with family at her side on Dec. 8,2014.  So it's an new year & a new beginning. I hope to achieve many of the goals I have set for myself this year. So hear is to a new year!

Experience Wanted

I want to get back into the career field. Recently have submitted several resumes and had a few interviews. But I keep getting the same response, "We have decide to go with another candidate who has more experience." My question is how do get the experience if no one will hire you and give you a chance. I would love to hear some feedback.
