In less than two hours, I'll be called for a job interview. The job would require me to relocate, but if the offer is good enough... this company does offer relocation assistance. My current job is not using my skills, and I'm not even really making enough money to pay my basic bills. Every payday, we fall farther and farther behind. Soon, services are going to start being shut off.

This is going to be a technical interview, where I will be using ssh to connect to their test servers, so they can evaluate my skills in Linux. I have not been using my time wisely in preparing for this interview. I've done some, but not as much as I feel I should. I think I'm a little scared to relocate my family. I don't know how they will handle it, although my wife says she will try, and my oldest daughter is excited at the idea. My youngest daughter doesn't want to leave her friends.

Please pray for wisdom, mercy, guidance, and good employment for me, so that I can take care of my family, and pay off all of my, now, way overdue bills.

An update.

The call didn't come in. I called the recruiter, and she said that the interviewer contacted her and said that my phone rejected his call (calling from a blocked number). But i verified that I do not have anonymous call rejection turned on. To make sure there isn't a glitch, I turned on ACR, and turned it back off. Hopefully, the new call comes in soon.

Another update

They did call, and I interviewed. Most of the test was relatively easy. I answered all of his questions except one... I was just nervous, and didn't get the right information from the config file that I was looking in. I didn't give up, he suggested we move on. But the "trickiest question" he asked, one that he said most people ask to skip, I did answer correctly.

The one issue, I may be asking for more than they want to pay. But I can't relocate to a place where we have no family, and not be able to afford to live. Perhaps, by God's grace, they will have a position for me that does fall into my necessary range.

Continued prayers is appreciated!
