Job Hunt Update

So, as you may or may not know, I was laid off a month ago.  We have been very prayerful and have looked very diligently for opportunities for employment.  Our hope is to be able to stay in Atlanta.  Due to some great friends helping out I've had good leads - including options in Atlanta.

Right now, here's where we stand.  I am being considered for a position just outside of Madison WI.  It's a job supporting a newly purchased plant as a supply chain manager.  Yesterday I had an interview with the CEO and if I go to the next step, I plan to be one of 3 candidates who they will interview in person.  I should know very soon.

Job two is in upstate NY, just outside of Buffalo.  It's the same type of role.  I'm not sure where I stand in terms of other candidates, but I spoke with the recruiter extensively and she is recommending me for the job.

Job three is with a global manufacturing giant.  The job is in Houston and would support their Wind Energy division.  It's getting lots of stimulus money and the business is growing.  I fly to Houston next week sometime to interview.  

I also had a phone interview with the SR VP for Supply Chain for a HUGE local home improvement store in ATL.  Hopefully he liked me enough to carve out a place for me.

My in-laws are having a special fast for jobs this month as all but one of us are either unemployeed or on shaky ground.  We are praying for a job that would not make us move, again.  We'd appreciate your prayers.

Vacay

On this, our awesome trip to Colorado, we have done many awesome things. Mostly soak up all the Gamma time we can get.

There has been hiking:



There has been gardening:


There has been an AWESOME excursion to the pool:

There has been a "very first ice cream cone" experience:

He was just as shocked as you are:

And there has been mommy time.



Life. Is. Good.
