I got a job, pending a background check

[lizziegrace]

:)

50% pay cut, so I'll have to be self-employed to make up the difference. (Second job, anyone?) But it's okay. At least I'll have the money to pay the rent and utilities.

1. Congrats...

Do you get insurance coverage?

[supernova]

2. So happy for you LG!

:party:

[flvegan]

3. Congrats, lizziegrace!

Glad to hear it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Congrats, my dear lizzie!

I hope it doesn't involve a 60 mile commute, either!

I knew you'd do it, sweetie...

:hug:

5. Congrats! I hope they don't find that THING on your background check

:scared:

[lizziegrace]

7. It's a standard pre-employment thing in accounting

I have 2 parking tickets. :)

I've had them run at least 6 times.

17. Isn't one of the big background-checking companies

the one that was involved with all the voting problems in Florida in 2000 - flagging names because they were African American and were close to a felon's name?

Forgot their name, but I know they're not infallible.

[NewJeffCT]

15. not to mention that other thing

you know, THAT.

[lizziegrace]

16. Oh yeah. THAT

I was told that THAT was sealed. :P

[bluesbassman]

6. That's wonderful lizziegrace!

So glad to hear that. Any chance they'll boost your pay once you get in there and they find out how awesome you are?:)

[lizziegrace]

8. They're out-sourcing their income tax work and payroll

both I'm qualified to do. They've expressed an interest in bringing both back in-house. :)

[bluesbassman]

11. There you go.

Get that foot in the door, and dazzle them with your brilliance. :)

[graywarrior]

9. Awesome!

Congratulations!!!!

[av8rdave]

10. Congrats!

I did the nearly 50% pay cut a few years back. It sucks, but we adapt, and it's good to be working.

Hope all goes well with the new job!

[Wapsie B]

12. Congratulations!

:toast:

[WCGreen]

13. Good job....

When I started out as an Accountant I waited tables in the Summer and Fall for the first year...

[Ptah]

14. Yess!

[NewJeffCT]

18. Congrats

Sorry about the pay cut, but you can still continue to look for a better paying job while you have this one, no?

[Midlodemocrat]

19. You will pass the background check with flying colors.

Others, here. Not so sure.

[bluethruandthru]

20. Congrats!

Just think of this job as tiding you over til a really good one comes along! :toast:

[ThomCat]

21. That 50% pay cut doesn't sound so good.

:(

I'm glad you have a job, but I hope you're keeping search going for something better.

Either that, or I hope you'll be seriously developing your self-employment so that you can eventually work for yourself.
:hug:

Does it at least come with good benefits?

:loveya:

[LostinVA]

22. Congrats -- and, it's always easier to get a job when you already have a job

[sasquatch]

23. Ooo...maybe it was a bad idea for me to refer to our side operation of cocain running and-

human trafficking when they called.
:sarcasm:

[lizziegrace]

24. Kick just because

:bounce:

[datasuspect]

25. i make extra money and have fun too in my spare time

by doing black market organ harvesting.

[seemunkee]

26. Great news

Paycut sucks, but paying rent is good.

[Aristus]

27. Congrats, lizzie!

I'm happy for you!

Too bad about the lousy pay, though. I hope they recognize your value and raise your pay accordingly...
