Asking for Prayers...Job Interview Tomorrow - Page 7

I too am job searching. I've been unemployed since Feb 24. I was essentially forced out because of what I knew was going on. I'm trying very hard to get a "state job". I have applied for two, am hoping to be called in for interviews soon. When my savings runs out I think I can make it 2 more months with credit cards. I don't have family that can help me. I've always been their help. I am praying for you to find a good position and am asking for prayers too. We are blessed in so many ways. I have a home, good vehicle, good food, clothes, shoes, and a fur baby! Still have internet and Dish so I can still watch TV and although I am getting older I still have good health.

Pausing to pray for LeoGrl, 2000survivor and JamaicaJammer2. May the Lord guide and keep you in His favor and protection.

I have been unemployed since the end of 2011. I have had one part time job that did not last. I have been looking for quite some time. I am in my 60s and know that this is part of the reason. I have had one 2nd interview and thought I would get the job but never heard back. I get phone interviews but the HR people are not competent. They have not been with the company very long ( 2 - 3 weeks) and do not have much knowledge of the company. Some of the questions are humiliating. I think they feel that I am lazy because I have not been working. It is a sad state that our economy is in. The unemployment numbers are not counting the people that have stopped looking for work because they have become so discouraged. I had one employer tell me she had 250 applicants for one job. How does one compete in this job market. The employment agencies are little or no help - they may have one job and that is all. I look everyday hoping something comes my way. I wish you the best of luck. Never give up. It is a very tough job market.

I am praying for each of you ladies and wishing you all the very best in your job searches.

As am I... praying for each of you dear ladies and your struggles to find a job with an actual living wage.

I also agree with elated on her sad assessment of the entire situation. I have friends and relatives that have had to settle into jobs they would have never even considered before. Such as a legal secretary who now helps to manage things at an auto parts store headquarters. She had to relocate in order to find that, but she is advancing -- doing very well there now, though it's certainly not her chosen profession, or what she studied so long and hard for.

Ageism is a disgrace... Just like all those other 'isms.

Best of luck and may God go with you all.

Update: I talked to the hiring official for one of the jobs I applied for. She has reviewed all applications and selected a few she is mailing a questionnaire to. I made it through this scrutiny, she told me I am on the list for the questionnaire. When she gets them back, she will select who gets interviewed. I am grateful I made it through that selection, I am certain all the prayers made this happen. Thank and I ask please continue to pray for me and for elated!
