Well, this post shouldn't take much space... in two months I have not yet had a face-to-face interview! A few preliminary phone interviews, but nothing more. It's tough out there, right now!
For those of you inclined to pray, however, I do have a request. I applied for two different openings, at our local university, that I feel would be a great match for me. One is as an Academic Advisor, the other in the Academic Success Center (overseeing student tutors, etc.). Both prefer a Master's Degree, but not exactly in my field... but, I feel I made a great case for myself in my cover letters/resumes. I spoke with Human Resources today, and was able to get contact information for key staff in each department, and I plan to follow up later this week, to try to increase my odds of being considered. I am told there are many applicants, especially for the advising position, (which would probably be my choice of the two). I am also told that there will be one, possibly two more advising positions posted in the coming weeks.
This is the most exciting opportunity I have found that fits the skills of a Master's Degreed Audiologist, turned (laid-off) Architectural Draftsman. I feel either of these would be a great opportunity for me, so I would covet your prayers on my behalf. My God is not daunted by difficult odds, even though I often am!
Oh Jeff....we can SO relate to where you are! John was out of a job for the summer, and with me being a stay-at-home mom, with no income, it was definitely stressful!
ReplyDeleteI can say, looking back, our experience did bring us closer together as a couple, family, and most importantly grew our relationship with Him.
Stay strong in Him, knowing He WILL bring you through this. We will definitely be praying for you guys.
