I applied for a job at the club on base about a month ago and finally got an interview last Wednesday. I haven't said much about it because I didn't want to jinx anything. Today I was kind of wondering what was going on with it so I called the girl whose place I would have been taking. Guess what she said, "Sorry we hired someone with more club experience"!!! I just want a freaking job!!! Don't get me wrong I love staying at home with Isabella but I get so depressed sitting at home day after day. Yes we could go do things around the base but I don't want to spend money and most of the time I just don't feel like leaving the house. The truth is I don't feel like I have a purpose most days. I know my purpose is to take care of Bella and I really need to get her potty trained but I guess I'm just not that kind of mom. I loving being with her and she can always make me smile but she can also drive crazy. I think maybe if it was warmer outside things wouldn't be as bad, we could go to the playground which is about 100 yards away, go for a walk around the block or walk to the BX which is about a 15 minutes’ walk from the house. But right now it is way too cold for any of those activities.
On top of me not getting the job today I tried to do some of my homework while Bella was sleeping and couldn't get anywhere in Statistics. I have figured out the method we need to be using but when I try to solve the problem I don't get the answer in the back of the book. I HATE MATH!!!
Maybe I should have let everyone know that I am in school before I started talking about it. While in North Carolina I got my Associates Degree and am presently working on my Bachelors in Psychology. I am only going to school part-time because the tuition at UMUC is a little too high for our income right now and the GI Bill will only pay my tuition. This means my books have to come out of our pocket or should I say Tyler’s pocket since I can’t seem to find a job.
Anyways enough complaining for now!!! I put an application in for a secretary job at the CDC (Child Development Center or the daycare on base) but the reason I haven't heard anything from them is because I need to fax a copy of my transcripts and my DD214 (prior military service form) to the main office in San Antonio. So when Tyler gets home from work we are going to go the base Library and fax it off. Hopefully I will get somewhere with this job, if not I don't know what my next plan of action will be.

I don't know how the hiring works overseas, but I have to go through USAjobs to get a job on base. Previously, I could go through AFPC, but now it's only open to internal (permanant) candidates. I know that there's listings for overseas bases on there. I will say this, it is a HUGE pain in the ass. There's like 600 jobs listed but they're not really hiring for them. You can apply and once that job comes open they'll pull from the pool. But you never really know what jobs are out there unless you contact Civilian Personnel. Anyway, you might look into it.
Yea the job at the CDC is through USAjobs and I have applied for a couple more through there. I talked to the Director of the CDC and she says the job is open but she has not got a referral for me yet. Hopefully since I faxed the papers off I will hear something from her!!!
I have been fighting with USAjobs since November. It does nothing except piss me off. I hope your referral goes through!!!
