You all have been an encouraging community for me the last couple years, and I appreciate any prayers you can send our way. To give some context, my husband does contract IT work (remote/work from home), and his last contract ended in October. As you probably know, the job market has been tough recently, there's been a ton of layoffs and it's been hard for him to to find work in his field. He's applied to a ton of jobs, had a lot of recruiter phone calls, but nothing has come through yet. Many jobs are STILL requiring the vax (even remote ones!) which my husband will never do, and he's passed up good opportunities because of this. Since a lot of the work is contract based, most of the positions are only hiring for 6, 9, or 12 months. It's hard to find anything long term/permanent in his field anymore. He's thought about switching careers and has even applied to jobs outside his industry, but has a lot of good experience built up and as you know it's hard to switch careers later in life. Just praying for one of these opportunities to work out, and also if this is God leading him to something else, that he will be open to that calling.
Thank you so much, and please let me know if there's anything I can pray for you about as well!
EDIT: Thank you so much for everyone who took the time to respond! I shared all of the encouragement, prayers, advice, and job recommendations to my husband and we are so appreciative of all of you. I tried to reply or DM to each person here, but I apologize if I missed anyone. This community is awesome and I am so grateful to have found it. I hope to update you all soon with good news about a new job/opportunity for both of us! Much love and blessings to you ❤️
Whatever he wants to do, say it out loud and know it will happen. Manifest it. Sounds like crap but there is something to it.
I am in the same boat. Later in career (IT) and am expecting to be laid off. Biden passed that H1B law and all the big companies are outsourcing to India. I am actively looking at setting up side gigs. One won't do it but two or three will. Get creative with what you can produce at home. There is a market there...
That used to be called PRAYER until tiktokkers attached some witchcraft bs to it.
Yes it is prayer in Christianity. In other religions and beliefs it is something else. I don't want to color the message with my personal beliefs. At the end this works, if ones beliefs are good and positive then I believe Jesus is with us.
Yes, thank you so much!! I agree with manifesting and positive affirmations, it certainly works and I've seen it happen in my life many times.
We are exploring some side gigs right now and I'm in the process of setting up an online business. The cool thing is, there are so many new opportunities for working side gigs that were not there previously, such as online shops, affiliate marketing, youtube content creators, blogging, etc. Were looking into several of these to help supplement (or replace) our income.
