Can the Sunday News ever do a story that's not faith-based? Geez...

Are you kidding me? It's not a faith based article. It just so happens that the church is the one that started the support group AND THEY MEET AT THE CHURCH. That doesn't mean that there is any church affiliation just as AA meets at various church spaces. You are such a donk!

A few years back, I was looking for work and it really irked me, when I would call the companies back, about 2 weeks after applying for work, only to be told "We're not hiring, we're just checking the job market to see who's available". That type of scam should be illegal. When the unemployment rate is over 7%, if the HR people are half as smart as they want us to think they are, they would know there are a lot of people looking for work, who would like to learn something other than what they've done before. I've worked with a lot of people who only worked at burger joints until given a chance in production. They were temps and they made the regulars look like chumps. None of them were hired by the company I work for but, a competitor hired them and ran circles around us. They even got a HUGE contract that we were both trying for. (GOOD FOR THEM) There are also a lot of people already trained for the type of work the companies do.
