I got two job rejections for two job interviews I went on last week. Two job rejections in a row: THAT HURT! I will try to humble myself in prayer before God. Please pray for me. Thank you.

Praying for you, hang in there.
Memorare
REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

I feel your pain. I hate that that statement is so trite, but my last few interviews have also had the outcome yours did. I’m very close to leaving the church because of it. My interviews have been with Catholic schools. In one case, I didn’t get an interview–or even an acknowledgement I’d applied. I feel like when I need the church the most (a job so I can support my family) they aren’t there for me. And then I am looked down upon by others in our generally well-off congregation because my kids don’t attend Catholic school and we don’t make $$$$pledges to the Diocesean appeal. That’s a very simplistic explanation, by the way. I will pray for you.

Prayer to St. Joseph for the Unemployed
O Saint Joseph, we pray to you for those who are out of work, for those who want to earn their living or support their families.
You who are the patron of workers; grant that unemployment may vanish from our ranks; that all those who are ready to work may put their strength and abilities in serving their fellowmen and earn a just salary.
You are the patron of families; do not let those who have children to support and raise lack the necessary means. Have pity on our brothers and sisters held down in unemployment and poverty because of sickness or social disorders. Help our political leaders and captains of industry find new and just solutions. May each and every one have the joy of contributing, according to his abilities, to the common prosperity by an honorable livelihood. Grant that we may all share together in the abundant goods God has given us and that we may help underprivileged countries.
Amen.

Don’t take it personally when you interview and don’t get picked. Often times, you were just not a good match for the job. Maybe they knew that your personality wouldn’t fit in with the rest of the staff. Just remember that God is in charge and there is a reason you didn’t get picked for this job at this time.
I do think it would be good for the Catholic Church to have programs to help people find employment. I see ads for programs to find employment in the LDS-run thrift store, and some of our Mormon friends received help from their church when they were going through a difficult time. Although I do not agree with Mormon theology, I do think that other Christian groups could learn from them.
Catholic schools are expensive, but the only way to make them affordable is for all parishioners to slowly increase the amount they give. Catholics on average give less than other Christian groups; Catholics are averaging at 1% and others are up to 10% (the original tithing amount). I recently heard about a parish where everyone slowly increased the amount of money they gave and within a few years their parochial school was free! There are a lot of struggling people, but there are also people who are doing really well right now and they need to give more during these difficult times.
Pledges to the Diocesean appeal shouldn’t be anyone’s business. It is intended to help the diocese, not to be a source of pride for the rich, bragging that they donated so many thousands of dollars, while other families only gave $20. Only you know your financial situation and it’s not good to judge others for not giving so much money.

It does hurt, but a lot of people are going through this right now; you are not alone. Either they get rejected or they find out that for some reason they are unable to take the job (bad hours, need extra certifications not mentioned in the job listing, didn’t pass a test, etc.) Just keep your eyes on Jesus and don’t give up. These times are a test of faith. Maybe read some Bible stories for inspiration and to put things into perspective.
Please don’t give up. A lot of people are out of work right now. Unemployment and underemployment are in reality much higher than the numbers indicate because they don’t have a way of counting people who aren’t on government aid or receiving unemployment payments. I’ve head that sometimes there are 1,000 applications for a given position! A lot of people won’t hear back from jobs they applied for because someone else has more experience and is willing to work for the same amount of money.

Times are tough right now and I feel for you. Do not let anyone make you feel bad or feel hurt, you are doing the best you can given the circumstances.
Momof3Js, my mother is a teacher with the Catholic school board here, she has been unemployed with them for over 10 years, and not just her, a good chunk of the teachers here are unemployed. Please do not give up. God is still with you and he will bless you eventually.
I know its tough right now, but just hang in there.
