Job Search

by David on July 10, 2006

I would appreciate ya’lls prayers for my continued job search process. I feel like I am spent and about to run out of gas. What a gruelling and emotional process. So, here’s the update.

I recieved an offer from the small consulting firm in Oklahoma. Positives: Not a bad salary, we know the area, we have frinds there, we have a good church there. Negatives: it’s at the other end of the world from family, no benefits to speak of, no relocation assistancce. I start on 7/31 unless something else comes along.

I was told by Dell that I would recieve an offer. They dragged their feet, then they called and said the position had been cancelled and that they had a hiring freeze dur to a poor financial performance and outlook. I think it’s because the Waldeckers (and James) use Macs. Bummer, because that would have kept us in Nashville.

Bank of America: In Charlotte. Had another phone interview today. I think it went well. They said they would probably fly me and Janice there to speed things up since they know I have another offer on the table. Since we can’t stay in Nashville, I really would like this opportunity. I don’t know if they will be able to get me through the process in time. But they are trying. Positives, closer to family, betetr benefits, relo, etc. Negatives: have to move.

Covenant: I will call Jeff Hall later today to see where they stand and if they can move things along quicker.

I would apprecauite your prayers that God would open or close the doors quickly on Covenant and Bank of America, so that we can feel somewhat settled sooner than later.

Thanks,

David

Update:
The trip to Charlotte went well, and I think they might move forward with an offer. But, I thought Dell was going to as well. So, we’ll see. But, we’re praying that, since we can’t stay in Nashville, this one will work out. If it does, we need to figure out what we’ll do for school for James and Emily very quickly as that will, in many ways, dictate where we might live.
