I have a screening today with a recruiting firm I have worked with before. Then, if that goes well (which I expect it will), I have an interview for a nice job starting soon. I know this is legit. This placement company got me two jobs when I first moved to Iowa 4 years ago (has it been that long?).
I would appreciate your prayers. Having a steady job will alleviate family anxieties very much.

Wow. I hope that goes well for you, fluke. My dad keeps saying how happy he is that I have a job during this recession. I don't make a lot, but it pays for the rent I pay my parents every month, my cell phone bill (which I also pay to my parents to pay on my behalf), and my monthly bus pass, as well as food and such.
When the grocery store chain I work for last had a hiring day, something around 100 people showed up! There was still a huge line when I got off work around 3pm, when the hiring period was scheduled to end, and people showed up 45 minutes before the hiring started. Just goes to show how many people need jobs right now. And with GM now going bankrupt, even more people are going to lose their jobs.
Placement companies can be nice because they do the hard work of finding jobs for you. My mother did that for a little while a few years ago.
Hope it works out!

Interview got postponed. Got the call a couple of hours before it was scheduled. The recruiter will call when they have the new time.

I haven't heard back from the recruiter. I'm starting to think this one won't happen.
In the good news, I did get a pretty good size writing contract for some Sunday school curriculum.

It almost sounds like God is keeping the interview on hold so you could work on the Sunday school cirriculum. Congrats on the contract! Prayers continuing for you.

Congratulations on the contract, Frank.
I too am beginning to get a few new jobs. Just this week, they've begun to come in again. And that's after about 4 weeks of nothing.
Maybe people and companies are beginning to see they have a bit of money again. Maybe we're clawing out of this recession.
Then again, I had a dream two nights ago in which a messenger brought me this message: "It is finished!" So maybe the rapture is approaching.
