Derek Compton hasn't added a story.
Hello all, I am Derek J Compton and I am in desperate need of
financial help. I have been out of work for quite a while and my funds
are totally dried. My lines of credit have been exhausted and I have
no way of paying my bills, paying for food, gas and my basic
necessities. The food stamps that I receive from Social Services
barely last a week or two.
I have tried eveything to find work, I am listed on every job
board in the world, I believe. I have sent multiple blasts out to my
linkedin and facebook network. No recruiters have been able to place
me for some reason. I have over 25 years of professional experience
and I am so ready to go back to work.
I lost my home to vandalism and fire and now the house is
condemned. My insurance company denied my claim and returned my
premium payment stating that the policy was not verified. I had just
fully renovated it all too, which exhausted the savings that I had at
the time. I was working then, so I did not worry so much. I was
terminated unexpectantly without any notice and I was never paid my
last paycheck.
I feel like I am stooping as low as possible right now and this
has been a really humbling experience. I would not ask for help from
anyone unless I was in dire need as I am now.
If you could please find it in your heart to help us, then I
will greatly appreciate it. My six children and two grandchildren will
appreciate it as well. I am continuing to look for work, however, in
the meantime, I need to be able to keep a roof over our heads and I
need financial help right now to do so.
Also, please keep me in mind for any work that you may know
about for me. I am willing to do any type of work. However, I would
prefer to work in my field, of course. I have over 19 years of IT
experience (HRIS Management and SAP HCM IT Consulting) as well as six
years of Accounting experience.
I am also a US Navy Veteran and a former US government employee
as well.
Please help.
