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 ❤️
$1 hour is better than $0 an hour - my viewpoint lol
Exactly, it may be humbling but have him go get an entry level job at a big box retailer, Costco, Target, Home Depot, Lowe's for minimum wage. At least it would be food on the table money. And all those places are hiring right now. Or tap the kid on the shoulder who is driving the Amazon delivery van and ask him for his employers contact info - because those kids are making $18-20 an hour working for a third party contractor.
Plus, they may "claim" they want vax proof but when it comes down to it don't mention anything and more often than not it's never requested.
Exactly. At the end of the day this guy doesn’t want to do work “that is beneath him” and is fucking lazy. Fuck this prayer shit. Get to work mother fucker
Some people don’t think clearly when they are panicked i give this man the benefit of the doubt
