I got a job on the phone today, after being unemployed since December. This will be very similar to what I did two years ago, when I was contract at one of the "big three" automotive companies, as a janitorial supervisor, and then site manager.
This time around, another company has that contract, and I'll be a third shift supervisor for them. I'd rather work days, but, if I'm going to be on an off shift, it needs to be third. Second--which I would have done in order to go back to work--would be the worst possible shift for family, and church. And, the plant is only 1.5 miles from our apartment!
This was obviously the Lord. I applied to this company a month or more ago, got an acknowledgement, and then heard nothing. Then today, our daughter's boyfriend, who does similar work, was talking to them on the phone, and he recommended that they talk to me too. The hiring manager said that my background sounded interesting, but, that he didn't have my resume. Somehow, it never reached him.
So, we talked on the phone, and he asked me to email a resume to him. Then, he called back, and said that, while he had intended to interview me tomorrow, he was no longer going to do so. After a pause, he said, "instead, I'm going to just offer you the job right now!"
This is the first time I've ever gotten a job I didn't even interview for!
Thank you all so much for your prayers!
