I was in a horrid job then Three weeks ago I was offered a new job to start on 28 Febrary. The interviewers said yes you have the job, we agreed a date. I told them I had to give 2 weeks notice to my current employer A week later I called to check everything was ok and they said they were doing the refences , then I get called in for a second interview. Tommorow. No reason given and when I push it is now only a possibility I will start on the 28th. I am now unemployed. I am not even sure I want their job now, I have lost my joy about it. I will be so nervous tommorow and trying not to be hostile and then not to cry until I get to my car.

Why is it so hard, I came to Canada with a skill Canada needed and this is how they thank me. It sucks. I feel like I must be a criminal or something, me the accused. I wonder if tommorow is realy an interview or just a meeting to cover them when they say sorry, see ya.

Thank you for listening. Just what have I done wrong in this world.

I wonder what happened? If it was me, I might start things off by telling them that there must have been a miscommunication. That you thought the job was set and you have already quit your other job. If you can rehearse saying this so it doesn't sound accusatory, that might be good.

If it was me, I would be so preoccupied with that, that I wouldn't be able to focus until I cleared the air. I would also practice because you have to be careful how yo phrase it so you don't accuse them of switching things (which they probably did) and make it seem more like it was your fault that there was a misunderstanding.

I was interviewing and I filled out an application online. I didn't put an end date for my current job because I was still employed. The computer automatically filled in my end date as the date I filled out the application. I went on the interview and they started to check my references. They called my current company to inquire about me saying that I was a former employee since their computer filled in the date saying I had quit weeks ago. I worked for a small company, the owner got mad that I was looking for a job and fired me on the spot. I HAD to take the job with the company that messed up, but kept looking. The job was terrible and a lot less money and thankfully I got something else a few months later.

So, if they still offer you the job, I would take it. If it isn't something that you want, then keep looking - at least you will have a paycheck. Good luck!

I would go into the interview, shake the persons hand and say something to the effect of "I am so looking forward to starting on the 28th, I have gotten everything in order with my former employer and am all set to go. Where do I go my first day, what time do I need to be here and are there any more forms or anything I need to fill out?" Do this with confidence and a smile on your face. Try to think positive, they may have set this appointment up to finish paperwork etc. Try not to think of this as a definate 'I didn't get the job after all' because that may not be the case. Many places have a 2 or even 3 step process to hiring. Good luck and I hope it works out but if it doesn't sometimes bad things can turn out good, if something happens with this job there is bound to be one even better waiting for you.

That is very strange, I would also try get in touch with them and ask if there was miscommunication. Something is strange though, if you had the job at the interview...why bother checking for references...odd. Let us know how you make out.

Well I went to the second interview. They said my references were glowing and that they were just concerned about my style of communication. What a load of bull. Basically they are interviewing others this week and will tell me at the end of this week if I have the job. Thats after last interview tehm saying you are suitable for the job and agreeing a start date. I directly challenged them at the end of the interview and they changed the subject.

So its down to the temp agency on thurs to try and find any job to pay the morgage.

Thank you all for your encouragment, I am sure that this has happened for a reason, I smell God plotting.

      Airbourne products in same living house hold .

      Are you a super sensitive celiac? I shouldn't think that would be an issue for the average celiac. I would be more concerned about cross contamination in cooking areas.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Wends · Posted

      Hi RMJ. I read your post. Sounds like you need a second opinion? Have you been advised by Dietitian or referred to one? There are protocols for treating patients that have ongoing celiac disease antibodies / histology. Particularly as you have nausea and pain. You probably already know about the gluten contamination elimination diet. It may be that you are super sensitive to even the allowed 20parts per million gluten in certified gluten free flours and products? An elimination of all grains for a time may be necessary? Especially oats if you currently include them? It’s worth noting that a minority of Celiacs have oat intolerance and T cell response similar to gluten (particularly carriers of high risk HLADQ2.5), and ongoing celiac damage to the gut can occur with oats. Even certified gluten free oats. If you are already super strict and careful about cross contamination, do you eat cheese or have any cow’s milk in your gluten free diet? It’s often overlooked, even by specialists and Celiac dietitians. But there are case study reports in children. There’s a study in adults showing mucosal reaction to casein in Celiacs, and quoted 50% of Celiacs react to casein similar to gliadin because of molecular mimicry. Then there was this letter to the editor following up a case that states, ”We conclude that given this novel information, pediatric, and possibly adult, celiac disease patients with suspected “refractory” celiac disease and no detectable gluten exposures, should be trialed on a combined CMP-GFD with close monitoring for disease activity resolution prior to consideration of more restrictive diets…” (Jericho H, Capone K, Verma R. Elimination of Cow’s Milk Protein and Gluten from the Diet Induces Gut Healing in “Refractory” Pediatric Celiac Patients. Ann Pediatr. 2021; 4(2): 1082.) CMP-GFD: cow’s milk protein-gluten free diet. Hope you figure it out.

      Symptoms - Ulcers & Cough

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @BlakeAlex! Is this the GI Reset product you are using?: https://inwellbio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/GI-Reset_Info-Sheet.pdf There is a lot of weird stuff in that you could be reacting to. Personally, I would discontinue it as I doubt it's really doing you any good anyway. Getting to the point where you are truly eating gluten free consistently usually involves a significant learning curve as gluten is hidden in the food supply in many ways by manufacturers. For instance, would you ever expect to find it in soy sauce or Campbell's tomato soup? But it's there and a main ingredient. Getting rid of macro sources of gluten is relatively easy. Just cut out bread, cake and pasta. But avoiding the hidden sources and the cross contamination sources is much harder. I am including this article that might be of help to you as a new celiac in getting off to a good start:    Long-term undiagnosed celiac disease inevitable leads to nutritional deficiencies because of the damage done to the lining of the small bowel where almost all of the nutrition in our food normally is absorbed. We routinely recommend that newly diagnosed celiacs invest in some quality gluten-free vitamin and mineral supplements. And I'm talking about more than a multivitamin. We recommend a high potency B-complex, 5-10,000 IU of D3 daily, Magnesium glycinate, and zinc. I suspect your mouth and throat ulcers are nutritional deficiency related. Costco is a good place to get good quality gluten-free vitamin and mineral supplement products at a reasonable price. Are you on medications? May we ask your relative age?

      Symptoms - Ulcers & Cough

      By BlakeAlex · Posted

      Hello, I was recently diagnose with Celiac Disease and without realizing, I had every symptom on the list. Now I am moving as fast as I can to a total recovery. I thought I was doing well but I notice my ulcers on my tongue and throat and cough are starting to come back again.  Has anyone experience these symptoms? Also, I am incorporating GI Reset powder for a jump start to recovery.  Thanks in advance, Blake
