Dear Potential Employers,
My husband is seriously awesome. But if one of you can't cut him a break soon, you might risk missing out on all he can do for you. We've only applied to work for you BECAUSE he's qualified and BECAUSE he wants to work for you and help you and be a part of your awesomeness.
And if you choose someone else, that's fine. They may or may not want the job as much as we do, but know that a simple rejection letter would be appropriate, if not nice.
Speaking of which, could you tell him what ISN'T working for you on his resume so he can work on improving it? Because he's worked so hard, and he's tired of being paid less than earth worms for the work he does. And quite frankly, the checkbook is tired of it, too.
My kids also need a bigger place to play, and I am going nuts, too...so a paycheck to go along with his qualifications would be superb. We didn't quit a job in retail so we could earn a Master's Degree in another field just to return to retail. If we really wanted a job in retail, we would have quit long before we were ever ahead in our education!!!
Just sayin'. You could at least give him a chance.
Sincerely,
Your potential employee's wife
***Needless to say, it's been a downer of a day.

hang in there.......tunnels sometimes are a bit longer than we anticipate them to be, but there is always light at the end, of this I am sure. :)
Hang in there ;) We'll pray for you.
You are amazing! I know I can't say anything that makes it better, but know what we are thinking of you and praying for you. Hugs!!
Keep strong and PRAY, PRAY, PRAY! I have a lot of downer days because we have been looking, and looking, and looking for a job closer to home for Ray. Have faith, Heavenly Father loves you and your family, stay strong. He knows our path of life better than we do!!
Hugs to you! I know how hard it is to have "tight" times and how emotionally draining it is. Sometimes from our greatest trials we learn the most valuable lessons.
Oh, Deanna. You know, sometimes I think that any of us can handle adversity - or not getting what we want - as long as we were to know HOW LONG we needed to endure. The not knowing is hard.
How do you poor out your heart and your yearnings to the Lord -- really FEELING those desires -- and still stay happy where you are? (Thoughts that have been on my own mind a lot lately.)
All I know, is the lessons that you and Ryan are learning - and the lessons that I'm learning - are so vitally important. I think to show the Lord that we can go forward with faith and hope, even when we do not get what we want. - It's so important.
You and Ryan are doing beautifully, Deanna. "And it came to pass . . . " is probably the most repeated phrase in the Book of Mormon for good reason. :)
Job searching is the pits. I loved your letter though.
Even though my husband has a job he is currently bringing home less money after 5 years of teaching and after getting a Master's degree. Fair? Nope. And it isn't getting any better as the two year pay freeze is turning into a four year pay freeze.
And we can't go searching for a higher paying job, because everywhere is as bad as here, well almost.
Good luck with the job search. Something shouls come your way soon! You deserve it!
