After 4 months of searching, I finally found a better paying job so that the wife and I can afford to keep our baby in child care (at the center my wife is the assistant director of), and still save up for a house. We spent most of the time she was pregnant trying to get as much debt paid off as possible, and made some good progress. We cleared up enough space in our budget to pay for the child care, but there was nothing left to save for a house. We live in a small, crowded apartment now, and had been saving for a house before we found out she was pregnant. That plan got postponed. ^_^

I'd been applying to every job I could find that paid more than my previous one, and praying that God would open a door for me. This Monday, I had my 2nd interview out of hundreds of applications, and it was by far the best job interview I've ever had. Lasted 2 hours and I talked to 3 people there in the offce. The office manager said he was very excited about adding me to his team, and would have an offer for me by Thursday (today). I'm so excited! :clap: :tutu: :clap: :tutu:

Well, just got a call from the company. They said they decided they were looking for a different personality for that position than the one I have. But they'll most likely have something opening up in 60-90 days for me.
:sigh:

Don't know what to think about the "different personality" comment he made. I was there for 2 hours during the interview, about half of that time was talking with the guy who made the call. If my personality was incompatible with the job, shouldn't he have been able to tell that pretty quickly? He made no mention of anything other than how great he thought I was for the job when I was there to interview.
:confused:

I will keep looking and praying for God to put me in the job He wants me to be in. :pray:

Just had another interview last night with a different staffing company for a job as a loan processor at Wells Fargo. Sounds like a really good gig. Unfortunately, the hiring manager at Wells is out of the office today and tomorrow, and they would want me to start on Sept 10. So, if I don't get an offer until Thursday, and then have to start the Monday after Labor Day, I won't be able to give my current boss a fair 2-weeks notice.

Why do I get the feeling I'm being taught something about patience? :sigh:
