Prayers for us too, Please

17 years ago

If you recall my DH lost his job due to the economy in January. He has had some great interviews and even 2nd interviews but still no job. Our family of seven has been very blessed by family and our church but we would like to be independent again. DH is really feeling the absence of his work.

I applied for and interviewed for a part time job in a large bead shop yesterday. I have not had a pay check job for 14 years. We thought it was important to have me home to raise the boys. It was a group interview and seemed to go well. I made them all laugh a couple of times. I expect to hear from them sometime today and I'm on tenter hooks! It is strange to reenter the work force especially in these trying economic times. There were women there that came from executive positions with big companies. Weird!

I don't know if it's God's will for me to work there tho...It could be the start of a new obsession!

I'm glad that you all are here to share with.

You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers, Mimi! It would be a lot of fun to work in a bead shop. Especially if you could conduct classes and make stuff without spending money. lol! Like bright199, my paycheck wouldn't make it out the door! I also hope your DH finds the greatest job that makes losing his last one seem like a godsend.

Hope you hear something soon from your interview Mimi! And I will be praying for your DH that God will open just the right job for him. I know how hard it can be on you and especially on him. My DH lost his job about 3 years ago and was unemployed for 5 months...it was an emotional roller coaster. But, I'm sure that there is bright light at the end of the tunnel! Best of luck to both of you!

Thanks everyone for your prayers. I did not get the job with the bead store. That's likely a blessing in disguise. I majored in Jewelry in college so I don't think too much pay check would have made it home! Oh well!

DH is trying a new strategy in his job hunt so let's see how that works out.

Keep on praying! I know I'll be keeping you all in my prayers.

Good luck to your DH in his new strategy! And like you said, that bead store job might not have been a good idea for someone with jewelry making experience. You and your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers!

WOW! Thanks everyone for all your support. I didn't get the bead store job but tomorrow I go to be screened for a job with Wendy's International which is based near by. If I'm accepted I'll be a permanent part time employee at the research and development department. That means that I'll be trained to be an official taste tester. That's right! I'll be getting paid to EAT! The best part is that I will be paid even more than the bead store job just to be trained. Then I'll get a raise when training is complete. They want a two year commitment and the hours are perfect with kids in school! WOOO!!! HOOO!!!

Pray for me on this one. It sounds great!

1 door closed another opened!! Good Luck tomorrow!! They want a 2 yrs commitment!!!! Most people would go crazy for a promise of 2 yrs on a job in these times. Most people I know just work day to day wondering "when" somebody is going to "buyout" their company!! Jan
