I've had 3 interviews since I got laid-off back in July and wouldn't have gotten those had 3 VIP's not gone to bat for me! Unfortunately, none of them panned out. I've got a degree in journalism but I'm working p/t at Pizza Hut. I picked up another p/t job in November with a very good company that was supposed to start at 20 hours per week. After the first week, it became apparent that my hours would be more like 6-8 a week. Now, I'm at zero. They like me but they haven't figured out how to use me yet. Had another shot at a contractor position earlier this week and everything seemed fine...until we talked about compensation. It's not that I asked too much. Instead, they were looking to pay someone a lot less. And just last week, the starter on my car went bad and I had to have it towed. The cost for towing and repairs? $447.
Fortunately, my wife works but we have no money in savings and two children to support and the bad news keeps rolling in! I'm the eternal optimist but enough is enough! All I ask for is a fighting chance! I know my troubles pale in comparison to so many others but we need a break...desperately! Please pray for us!

Dear God...help me find a job that will enable me to sustain my family and restore my self-esteem. There is so much I want to do for myself and my family but I fear opportunity has abandoned me. Still, I refuse to quit on myself because I cannot nor will not quit on them.
