Hi all

My current employer is being swallowed up by a much larger corporation this week. Obviously, this is causing a bit of uncertainty.

As such, I started a more aggressive job search to prepare for the worst case scenario. I figure it would be much easier to look for a job and have a few interviews or offers before anything bad would happen.

I had a job interview last week locally, it’s not really what I want to get into and I would be in the same position as I am now, not really where I want to be career wise. But, they reached out to me, and the pay is better than what I am making now. And I could use the opportunity to practice interviewing and to see what they have to say.

I applied to another job 2 hours away in a small town with two colleges. It is something that I want to get into, and I could use it as a stepping stone since I will be getting actual relevant experience that could be used elsewhere. They aren’t requiring previous specific experience. I talked with HR already, and talked with a technical person there for about 40 min. on the phone. They invited me down for a on site interview for two hours on Tuesday. It looks like I will be having an interview with some general programming puzzles on the whiteboard. Hopefully this goes well, as they could pretty much ask anything - and hopefully I’ll have a clear mind to give good answers. Maybe half the battle here is showing up and showing I have half a brain, that they can work with me and I don’t show up drunk or smell bad. 😉

Oh, and I just got married in the fall, and the wife got a promotion at her work,

I could really use some prayers that everything works out and I/we (wife and I, employers) can make a good decision. I also pray that no one looses their job here, or at least we are let go with some dignity.
 
Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . Amen

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

†

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

†

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.
