OP, post 34, linked thread: "I mean, I just had to purchase plane tickets for $700 to go from CMH to BDL to stay in CT from Wed - Sat. And now I may have to spend an additional $200+ on top of that to rent a car. The whole ordeal will be $950 when all is said and done. Well, $510, because mommy gave me $440 from her rewards credit card" (job search after being fired in Columbus, Ohio, applying at Ct corp who just terminated his employment0.

I didn't ask for help. She offered. I accepted. Nothing wrong with that.
You have put yourself in a position where it will be difficult to find ANY job. Your employment history is terrible. You will likely have to settle for something you do not want....
Bingo.
That is why his Ct employer likely hired him. The prior tax guy fled, intelligently, from this fledging company. Not offering great compensation or benefits, this would not be a corp to attract terrific talent with spotless resumes, and great long-term employment history. The OP lacked other options, having a less than desirable employment record himself.. That made them a good fit.

I'm not surprised. It's the same reason why ugly people end up marrying ugly people.
I seriously made effort to stay employed with this Middletown job in order to rebuild stability on my resume. Obviously, it didn't turn out the way I had hoped. So now wtf do I do?

Work for whomever, wherever, with whatever compensation package, will hire you.
Act like you just graduated from college. You have to rebuild completely, as if you have no work history-as it's a history not favorable for you to spotlight.

That's BS.
I am not throwing away 9 years of experience down the drain and starting over. No one does that. Please. We'll see how it goes...
In so doing, you are not independent, and IMO you would work harder were your parents not there, with wealth, to rely on.
Yes I am very independent. I could have paid for the ticket myself, but I chose to accept a gift. There's nothing wrong with accepting a gift once in a while. Everyone sure does it.
Lack of independence is like when someone's parents chip in to pay for things like rent, groceries, insurance, etc. I do it ALL on my own and have been since the age of 22.

You already threw it away, via too many jobs, too few years, which is why last year's job-hopping was less than fruitful, bringing this fledging Ct corp as the only option for you.
(nep321)"Back in 2006 when I was 22 years old, I graduated from college with a BS in Accounting and started my first job in late 2006. Now, here I am at the age of 30 and already on my fourth job. I am currently job searching as we speak, but it's been a sh** show. I have a master's degree now and I'm over 2 months into my job search and only got 1 interview so far, and I withdrew my candidacy because I didn't want the job. Currently, I'm employed, but one of my recruiters told me that my career history is quite choppy and that many employers are going to pass on me because of that. Here is a timeline of my career history:
Job 1 - 1 year, 5 months - quit with no job lined up and relocated Unemployed for 2 months Job 2 - 1 year, 7 months - laid off Unemployed for 4 months Job 3 - 2 years, 7 months - quit with no job lined up Unemployed for 7 months and relocated Job 4 - 1 year, 4 months so far, and currently looking for a new job"
This is why you must rebuild, 6 jobs now, looking for number 7. At the age of 32 if I recall.
That first job was a good one to have on the resume, so I truly think if he so chooses, the OP long-term can rebuild a career.
