Please help me pray...I need a job
I have been out of work since May and had anticipated going back to work the first of July. This was perfect at the time as I had surgery in May and could take the time to recover.
Well, the opportunity I thought I had fell through as did another opportunity I had last month.
Needless to say, I'm still unemployed.
And I'm getting desperate. I didnt anticipate being out of work so long or it being so hard to find a job.
I humbly ask for your prayers that God will open a door for me soon. I've been unemployed too long now, it's getting critical
Thank you in advance for your prayers, I do appreciate it.

I will pray that God will provide exactly the job that HE wants you to have, Theresa.

Re: Please help me pray...I need a job
Praying, Theresa! If it's God's will, it will happen.
I remember when my husband and I were having financial difficulties after I quit my sales job. I tried to get into something else because we were hurting. I think we had been married four years.
I had my briefcase on the bed looking through some papers. I knelt on the floor and prayed, "God, you have to help me. I can't make this work."
He spoke to me and said, "You trust the world to care for you more than you trust me."
I closed the briefcase, slid it under the bed and said, "Okay, I quit."
So, I pray the will of God for you.

Theresa,
I will pray about your job situation and pray that God will give you a better job than the one you left.
God bless you.

Re: Please help me pray...I need a job
Will be praying. I completely understand. I never had a problem finding work, but recently had to go back and it was quite an ordeal. I'm 2 months into the best job with best pay and benefits I've ever had, however, I didn't realize the whole time I was looking several firms were laying off large amounts of people in my specialized field, so that was what I was up against. Needless to say, God miraculously gave me this job in my eleventh hour. I went through a lot of idiot treatment, was belittled by one agency, however, when I went to this job interview, they let me know I was perfect for them.
Be encouraged and do your homework. Job searching is hard work and very time consuming. It looked like I had one job for sure, but on a lark, I decided to apply for the job I ended up getting. I was so disappointed when the one job didn't want me, the girl at the agency said, "they decided to pass on you." It was so upsetting. I said, that's it, I guess God doesn't want me working. Three days later, the job I ended up getting called and the rest is history.
Also, study and read how to market yourself well. Their are a lot of good articles and guides online. It's so competive now, you have to sell your skills and abillities.

Re: Please help me pray...I need a job
Thank you everyone. This is really encouraging. I have an interview tomorrow afternoon that sounds promising and I had one yesterday that would be perfect, I'd be perfect for the job but if it doesnt work out, I wont be too upset, it just wasnt meant to be.....
I do hope this one tomorrow works out to be something worthwhile. I feel like I'm at my 11th hour....and to further frustrate matters, our phone was disconnected yesterday after I'd sent out a ton of updated, tweaked resumes...that I broke down and printed on that expensive resume paper...so they would stand out.
I had enough sense to put an alternate number in case this happened but the phone company is having issues so even that number is useless right now....
I'm glad I have you folks to turn to that I know will help me pray.
I'm trusting in God, only He can help me you know?

I know what you mean, I've gotten turned down for being overqualifed, which doesnt surprise me...but one place told me they thought I'd be bored since I had more specific experience than their position required.....crazy isnt it?
I have revamped my resume and my cover letters. Not that it wasnt good, I just had to get more aggressive...there are a LOT of people out of work right now, it's brutal.

Praying here, Theresa.........and if you PM me with the type of work you're looking for, qualifications, etc, I work for a 54,000 employee company, maybe I can find a few leads in your area.......
