As many of you know from my postings, I have been for the past several months working on getting out of a really lousy job and back into a position from an old industry of mine. By God's grace it seems that this delivery is on its way now. I have five companies who I have interviewed with and seem interested in me. Just in playing the odds of X out of 5, I am believing--by God's grace--one will make me an offer real soon. I would like to leave this job on my terms so a quick job offer would be the thing needed. I have relented on my wishes to God's plan and if I am to be terminated first and then get the job, so be it.

I have been a huge fan of US military Special Ops for eleven years. The SEALS, Delta Force, Rangers, etc.--I love 'em. I have countless books on each service. So being creative and love writing, I came up with this imagined scenario, combining my admiration for SpecOps and my faith. One thing though: please no replies like "Jesus and angels don't need guns." Thanks!

The stealth Black Hawk helicopter descended from the sky onto the street in front of my job building. I walked outside. On the side of the helicopter was a logo of three crosses. Several winged figures jumped out of the opened door, each caring an MP5 machine gun. They formed a perimeter arc from the back to the front of the Black Hawk. I was included in the arc. The four commandos behind me kept a steady watch on the front door and lobby of the building, wary of The Three Pains [the three superiors who have been the root of all my work woes]. A new figure emerged from the copter. He had the look of the Leader. He had flowing hair, a mustache and beard. Also sporting the same type of machine gun, I could not help but notice the nail imprints on his hands. He asked my name and when I confirmed it, he gave a confident smile. “Jesus Christ, commander of Sainted Seals. We're here go get you out!"

Creative scenario! :thumbsup:

I was looking to get out of my old job and was in the running for a position with my current company. I didn't get that position, then was laid off from my old job. A few weeks later, my current company called and asked if I was still interested in a position with them. Of course! Better pay, better benefits, better hours, better commute.... much happier!

God is an awesome God!:bow:

Praying for your "deliverence", in whatever form it may come.

Now that is the way to leave a company!

I pray we soon get to read that you are out the door on your terms and heading to that new company.

Thank you!

I have a phone interview in 45 minutes. After that I have to call back another interested company to set up the next visit, and I should be getting backing a call from Company # 3 today about moving to the next round.

:thumbsup:

One suggestion, don't test the waters when it comes to things like writing just jump in and see if how far you can swim. I think you are talented and shouldn't forget to pursue your gift. Write stories, write a book, write a script........write until you get a book deal. I think you can do it!!!

Thank you so much. And I love your baby photo avatar! :) :) :)

I love to write, ever since I was in grade school. Once I get my job situation settled I, with God's help, will combine my love for writing and my burn to be an entrepreneur, and resurrect my resume business. ("Resurrect" intended. :amen:)
Avniel, thank you once again for noticing and encouraging. You actually touched my heart. My career "life" is my sore spot. When I was graduating college, I let fears and my own stupid mistakes take me off my writing goals. For many years, I hated myself for ruining my career life. Eventually I forgave myself. Also I remember a few years ago I lost the desire to write. Then I got it back when I took a resume-writing course and wanted to be a business owner. I tithe to a SpecOps charity and when I started, I said to the Lord, "If I have this tithe automatically deducted from my bank account and sent, please help me get my resume business running again and be successful." I have no doubt He will!

God bless and thanks!

New "iron" in the fire. Just for the heck of it, I hedged my bets on the current lot of companies I am in contact with, and sent out 3-4 resumes last night. One of them called back this morning @ 8:25.

That makes six companies I am speaking with.

That SEALs inspired deliverance is on its way. ;)
