I have good news and bad news:

Good News: I have been accepted for DVR, a workforce development program in Wisconsin that will continue to help me get a job. I am currently working on becoming a part-time manager at some office or whatnot. My mother is expecting a phone call from a counselor to possibly schedule an assessment.

Bad News: Remember that thread stating an interview at Goodwill? Well, the lady who interviewed me called today to let my mother know that I didn't get the job. They had other qualified candidates hired for the position. Hopefully, I am going to keep looking and applying for jobs when I go to DVR so I won't give up.

I will continue to work my current job until the 30th of this month. My enrollment at the YES program has came to an end so it'll be time to move on in April.

Thanks for reading.

Best wishes continuing. (Shouldn't people talk to you directly and not to your mother?)

I'm excited for you to have this training and placement opportunity. That is great news!

I'm so sorry to hear Goodwill didnt' work out. I admire you for not giving up. Keep at it. You'll find something.

I'm amazed they called at all. Usually you never hear from employers who chose to hire other candidates.
