So basically I graduated in May and started applying for jobs immediately even before I got my LSW. I wanted to be working full time for hours for my LCSW by September. During the summer I worked at my minimum wage job that has helped pay me through high school, undergrad, and grad school I have been at this place for 7 years. A friend of mine works for a private practice that she loves & has been talking to me about all year. I interviewed and instantly clicked with the supervisor and it was a perfect fit. I passed my LSW and got a contract sent from the company which I signed. I did one single training quickly after then was told once it gets closer to my start date I’ll do the rest. 2 weeks ago I even received my schedule & was told I had clients on my book. Last week I emailed asking when I would begin onboarding training since I have clients soon and do not know the system & I didn’t get trained in my specialties yet that they were going to pay for.

I did not get a response. I set up a meeting with my supervise which she canceled & moved to a dif date with no info. Then I recieve an email randomly stating the office I was going to work out is shutting down because they haven’t gotten enough business. They offered to have me work at their other office 2 hours away.

I literally do not know what to do or what to think but genuinely this is the most upsetting thing to happen to me. I turned down other decent offers & quit my job for this. I finish at my minimum wage job this week so now I will have zero income coming in if I don’t take this job with a 2 hour commute.

I feel so stupid for leaving my old job before I started working but I signed a contract, started training, and received a schedule! I also have a friend involved with the company I had NO idea this was gonna happen in a million years. Any advice or thoughts would be great because I feel completely defeated.

i keep saying minimum wage job but my job was tip focused so i was hesitant to let it go to begin with, it paid very well

I am going to the show Thursday and got my tickets during the general sale. I got super lucky and got my tickets for $120 a piece. I’m in section 214 row 4… will I be able to see her? I’ve heard some horror stories about how narrow these seats are & I am a little afraid of heights. I’m really debating going to box office to see if I could get better seats day of but just wondering if anyone has any experience at Barclays in this section. I have been a fan of ari since her debut so this is a huge deal for me since i’ve ever seen her live. should i go to NY early to try for better tickets or do you think this won’t be bad?

I take my ASWB tomorrow!! I have been studying ever since graduation in May. Everyone is telling me on the way to the center to listen to the code of ethics but what audio/video are you all using? I love RayTube but his videos about it are all 20 minutes long about each section. Is this what you mean or are there simplified audios?

I just recently graduated this week and have been doing job interviews since I heard how bad the market is. I got offered 2 positions from different places pending passing the ASWB. I am kinda regretting interviewing before taking the exam because if I fail… do I lose these offers? I feel like the pressure is on and my program didn’t prepare me well for the exam- a lot of my fellow students who took it already failed.
