Jobs...Who needs one?

Oh my prayers are with you Leenie! I do hope your hubby will get that job.

Sweetie, you and Dennis (and Dexter) have been in my prayers since we met. I do pray that he'll get the job, and feel more like the good man he is. Love you lots, Joanne

Leenie I am hoping that he will get it you are both in my thoughts and I will certainly keep my Fingers crossed for you It is already a good sign I think that this Person has called back there must be a little Hope that your Husband is on the top list I love you and big Hugs to you

My prayers are ABSOLUTELY with you!!! I will pray in your name since I don't know your husband's. Sometimes I don't think companies put enough stock in the work ethic of older workers at all. Tell your husband, don't give up! I have lost a home...it is a terrible feeling, but it will get better. In retrospect, home ownership is highly overrated anyway, at least to me. No more worries about maintenance and the like. I wish you guys all the best, and stay strong. My heart aches for those in similar situations. But for the grace of God, anyone could be in your shoes. Please let me know how it turns out.

I sensirely hope that your hubby finds work and something he enjoys doing. I think that is the hardest part. My granddaughter is looking for work. She is very negative about the job outlook and I really think that is a job killer. Your mind set and how you present yourself is all important.

My prayers are with you. My husband is disabled and we too are losing our home, so my sympathies are definitely with both of you today. Please tell your husband if one door closes, another opens, but we have to keep our eyes open to see it. Hugs, Maggie

I will pray for the best thing to happen and for strength to come your way to see it through however this turns out. Probably succeeding in getting a job would give your hubby back his self-esteem and so that would be a nice birthday present. But either way, do not give up. Everything happens for some reason.

You will be in my prayers for sure. I can totally understand your husband's worries because jobs are so hard to find and 57, well..it isn't young. Still, it isn't hopeless. I know of plenty of people in their 50's that are still finding work. 57 is really not all that old and obviously someone was interested in hiring him. Good luck...hope he gets the job!

My prayers are with you and your family. Hang in there.

I do so hope and pray for you and your hubby Leenie. I cannot begin to imagine how awful things must be for you right now. I've not worked for a similar length of time and although I am a little younger by 5 years than your hubby, it is soul destroying to know that all that input over the years counts for nothing now.

Hi Leenie, It is very difficult people our age group to get a job and like you I am disable, but I will pray for your hub to get that job also for you, hope all goes weel, take care. Tamara

Having been thru a breakdown and all the losses that follow in its wake I understand too well and you indeed have ours prayers and well wishes...

Hi Leenie, I understand your situation because my family also have the same problems as yours. my father is unemployed and really having hard time in looking for a job because he is 52 and nobody wants him for the job though he has enough experience. My family was hoping that my dad will find a work because my 2 siblings are not yet finish in school and sometimes they cant go to school because they dont have money. I am the only one who have a work but I cant support them because I will about to give birth also. I am just giving my mom a small amount of money but it wasnt enough for there needs. They have full of debts because they doesnt have money to buy for food which makes my heart torn into pieces and I always cried at night thinking of there situation. I am still thankful that there are still people who helped my family and they are able to survive each day. I belive that god will answer our prayers and he has a reason for all this things. I pray for you and to your family, I hope that your husband get the job. Just have faith in god and he will never leave you.

Best of luck.May god help you.believe in god and entrust rest to him.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope that all works out for you.

Hello, my friend! I can understand your hubby's fears but it might surprise him to know that there are certain company policies out there these days that stipulate, "no prejudice" when recruiting staff. I used to work for Amex... ok, after contracting RSI, I couldn't go back to my job and I took voluntary redundancy but there were other jobs available to me. I'm sure that if he is up front about his disabilities and age, he'll find something that suits him. The fact that he was called at least twice, only goes to show that there are people out there who are willing to give him a try, at the very least. I don't pray, as you know, but I will certainly keep him in my thoughts and send good energies to him. I know how much better it would make him feel if he managed to get a job. I have a friend, who not only has suffered a bad bout of cancer, ops and such for a few years, but who also has had three, what he calls, "mild" strokes. He's still working, and as long as he doesn't over-exert himself, he's fine. He gets tired, but he's determined not to give up on life. He obtained his job in a hospital's path lab., after his first stroke and some three years after his initial, major cancer op. He was over 50. So, there's an example of why you hubby should never give up. Brightest Blessings my friend... energies will be winging their way to both of you, in the hope that all goes well with this job, and that your home stays secure.

hi leenie been there and done that too. I can so sympathize with you and your husband, we were evicted from our apartment right after my son lost his job,he will be 51 in June, and hes been out of work for over a year. this is the pits. He too feels his age is a detriment towards getting a job and he has years of computer programming experience too. When we got evicted we were made homeless and finally my son, fearing for my welfare as his mom , I am 83, had me put here in Gold Crest a retirement home to have a roof over my head and somewhere to live, he got put into gov.sponsored apt with three other guys, all out of work and looking hard. I will pray for your husband as I have been praying for my son, I do feel for you really and hope to God you do not lose your home. I just hope that all my fellow my lotters will join in me and pray that y our husband getss the job and that you can save your home, hugs from hatley.

Hi Leenie. This is very good news! Your husband is getting his foot in the door and that's definitely a start! I have chanted for him to get this job. (I'm more Buddhist than Christian. Chanting is praying, just a little different.) Nam Myoho Renge Kyo is the chant to get what you want/need. It has always worked for me whenever I desperately needed something. As a matter of fact, I chanted for myself about getting a job once and it worked. I was out of work for quite some time when I decided to chant and I received an offer from the company I was chanting about the very next morning. I hope it works for you, too. Hopefully, at least part of your optimistic attitude will rub off on your hubby. I'm very impressed with the way you always look at things. You deserve the very best! BTW, when is his birthday?

Hi leenie! I am so sorry for all that you and your hubby are going through! I can't begin to tell you how awful I feel! If all you want is a prayer, you definitely have it from me! I know how difficult this must be for the both of you and I do pray that something will come about that will fix all this misery for you both! I really do hope that you will be able to find a new place, and he will get a new job and things will be alright again! I know that all this is such a strain on the both of you! I have been going through something myself with my bf and not knowing if he is going to leave me or not! But, I am trying to stay strong and hope that things also work out for the best because that is all I have! I will continue to pray for you and if you want to talk you know where to find me! I love you Leenie~ Love, Leslie

I will pray for you and your husband as well. I know it is hard to look for work. My husband is working in the field he likes, but his boss treats him so badly. He would love to leave the company, but since he can not find another job he is stuck there. My husband is attending an online University in hopes that he can get a better job once the economy gets better. I hope your husband gets this job to make things better for you and him. I am so sorry that your house is in foreclosure. I wish I could help you out.
