I hear ya on that. It used to be experience was everything, now, that is not the case. It is sad.
Why get someone experienced when you can get a newbie who you can train who does not have fixed ideas on how stuff needs to be done... Don't get me wrong, I hope she gets the job... but that is the think that exists sometimes... someone new who is HUNGRY to learn and ENTHUSIASTIC to change things is often seen as a better investment because they can be molded better... they can give fresh insight to an otherwise old scene...
Sometimes it is better to simply retain a lowly position ahere you are happy than to stress over a more challenging one and lose that happiness factor...
i'm just saying.... maybe I too much... but more money and more JOB does NOT always equate to MORE JOY.
1 Timothy 6:9-11 (New King James Version)
9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and
into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 For the love of money is a root of all
kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
I have struggled with this a great deal - and I am still learning...
Trusting the LORD as our provider and not some system, is where the blessing is. SHE WILL GET THE JOB IF THE LORD WANTS HER TO HAVE IT NOW AND IN THIS TIME. PERIOD.
You may throw your stones at me later... lol
