    (Vent Incoming) My wife and I are both about to lose our jobs. More anger than despair

    I was just told that after March, no one at my job is guaranteed employment, but given the option to go to our competitor (which i worked at for 6 years before getting so fed up, i quit) for a $2+ p/h pay cut, with no other business within a 2 hour drive, doing the same work. My wife was the...

    Original: On mobile I will do my best. I went from making well below median income for my area, to almost $10K above median. How? I applied for my dream job with a Word doc resume I built using ATS (applicant tracking system software) to make sure my resume got into the hands of a person to...
