Thanks for all the continued pixie dust -- he finishes up this week and has been working on customizing his resume for the two fields he can job hunt in... it's nice to know you guys are in our corner!

Do not despair. I finally, after many years got a job at a very large, very global, consumer products company HQ where we live-I applied for over 100 jobs there and it took me 8 years. But, I got it! After all the pain-geting a Bachelor's and a MBA, resume after resume. I finally got an interview-the day I interviewed I went back to my job and my boss told me he was laying me off in 2 weeks!

By the grace of God I got the job and only had to go 2 weeks without pay (unemployment). I am only 33 and have been laid off twice. I know how awful it is to try and try and nothing seems to go your way. Please have faith, it will happen, it happened for me-and I was pretty downtrodden for a long time.

Good luck, God bless!

Good Luck !! And God Bless his search.

More Pixie Dust headed your way...

You know the old saying... When a door closes, a window opens, so let's hope his window is opening!

Continue to keep us posted...

You guys are the best... thanks for all the continued words of encouragement!!

We found out last week that a friend of ours got a job after being out of work for about 8 months... we were sooooo glad for him, and even though we hope to not be looking for that long, it gave us hope, and the belief that good luck rubs off!

My DH finishes up this week at his current job... he gave them an extra couple of days b/c they're having a hard time transitioning his work. Shows us how bad off they are, to not just try to keep him on at a lesser salary so the work can get done... but then again, I think my DH is happier to be done there than still employed there at a lower salary. Sad, but true.

So -- here's to hoping the days home allow him to get that resume done and out there -- he has to re-create it for two industries now, as he's not just manufacturing anymore, but construction now, too. Fun....

We're still hoping to stay around here, just to maintain some continuity for our girls... and we love the seasons... but as I've been his "recruiter" these days, I've been pulling jobs off the 'net from all over, and seem to be drawn to the ones in Orlando... can't figure out why....

Continued pixie dust to you Dsnygirl. I'm sure everything will work out for the best.

Blythe, adding my pixie dust to that of the other posters. I was laid off from my job last year and I can relate to how difficult the situation is for you and your family.

My DH got a job!!

Thanks for all the pixie dust and well wishes you guys have given... my DH got a call on Saturday from a friend, he'll be starting at his company next Tuesday in a position that was basically created for him.

(It's not his friend's company, just the company his friend works for.)

It's a really good company, and it'll combine a lot of his skills in what sounds like a really good position... it's an engineering company, which is what his degree was in, and he'll be a project manager there. So, not back into manufacturing or homebuilding, but using all the different skills he's learned/gained at the different companies he's worked for in the past, at a company that's a little more stable than those industries right now! Phew!!

We are both so relieved and happy... he was only home for about 3 weeks, and last time, it was off & on for over 2 years. So -- here's to hoping this is a good fit and works out well for him -- I'm so excited for him!!
