I'm an 8 year veteran with a degree (I tell all not to make this mistake) and my wife as well. We can't find work since being part of a lay off last September. We have applied to over 100 companies and denied before interview on all but two. I was stood up for an interview twice by the same company and then denied when I applied again.
These are the things against us: White, Christian, Patriots, Unvaxxed.
There are many in worse positions than we are but would really be thankful for prayers on our behalf. Thank you all very much and God bless you!
May the Lord Almighty heal, comfort and bless you, your wife and loved ones with stability, security and awesome callings!!!❤️❤️❤️
Amen.

Dear Lord Jesus,
We hold up our brother and sister in Jesus to You in prayer. You told us to cast our cares onto You, for You care for us. We love and thank-you for the many blessings that You have given to us. I pray now that You will strengthen their faith in You, that they will trust and obey You and that You will find them the perfect jobs. Please relieve their stress and help them through this trial. Grant them Your peace and comfort. Thank-you for Your grace and mercy. Amen
Amen.

We have a wonderful Savior. He loves us so much. If we could only trust Him more. Glad to hear that your wife found a good job. May the Lord continue to bless you both.
Lord God Almighty, we ask for the release of your plan written in the book of life for AcesSilver and his wife. You have given them gifts and a call that the enemy cannot steal. We join with them in declaring that you have them in the palm of Your hand. Fill them with Your peace and Your joy. Open the doors that need to be opened and we thank You for the doors that You close. Bring the right job openings into their view. Cover them with Your wings!
Amen.

Congratulations! Your's is around the corner. My son graduated just when obama was elected and there were no jobs unless you knew someone. It took knowing someone to get him a job as a clean up guy on a construction site. He became the best one he could be, became a carpenter and became a standout at that job and was promoted to quality control for a big job. His great job in management lead to project manager for multi million dollar jobs and a great paycheck. He also likes his challenging job and it's not in his major
Hang in there. The best is yet to come.
Amen!

What fields are you in? I am seeing labor shortages everywhere.
I am in about the same boat in Software. Lots of tech jobs have been trash lately.
Prayers Sent Aces.
If you are tight on money (depending on if you live near a town / city) you could try being an Uber or Lyft driver.
The last driver I had, actually rented his car from Avis for a whole month (eliminates car payments and insurance) and he drove people around everyday making pretty good money. You can also do Door-dash or Grub-hub and deliver food.
Prayers just went up. Do you have a seeming “impossible” dream of starting your own business? Maybe now’s the time.
Thank you very much brother! I certainly think in these coming months and pray that the big corps fail and power returns to the local man and woman seeking a living.
Start a business. Dont waste a moment waiting on others.
I know what you're going through. I'm also a vet with a degree but haven't worked in my field since 2016. I've been doing seasonal jobs, temp gigs, online freelance work and trying to start a business. Now its super tough to get back into my old industry because I've been out for so long, got into some legal trouble, and the big employers tend to be woke companies that don't like seeing big gaps in employment history or having lots of different jobs and no clear direction, but that's just what I've had to do to get by.
Maybe those of us going through similar situations can get together in a co-op group to help each other out. I feel like I just need to find people trustworthy enough to go into business with but I don't know anyone with an entrepreneur mindset and the time and drive to partner up. If you are interested in chatting about this, hit me up.
You can make quite a bit of money if you are a self-starter. You can learn to make websites for friends, fam, small business on wix.com (templates, drag and drop). Undercut everyone else's prices and do a really good job. Make sure they are very happy with your work. Put their reviews of your work & portfolio of small sites on your own website. Learn and work hard.
Yeah I've done this but wix sucks and I taught myself a lot of other web dev stuff but not so good at marketing and social media.
Are y’all interested in moving? If so, consider teaching in a small rural Texas(?) town. Y’all both have degrees and can get emergency certified to teach. Small conservative schools are very different than city schools. Just a thought.
Hey brother thank you! We just bought a home recently before we lost them. We live up in the mountains and it's beautiful, we would sell but really it would be one of the last options we chose.
I can understand that. Right now is the time to apply for teaching jobs. Maybe consider substitute teaching if you’re still looking come fall— hopefully not.
Thank you very much I will definitely look into this.
Small school though, big schools are just, no don’t go there.
Dear God these people need your help in searching for employment. I know you will guide them to the place and job you have for them.
In your sons name Jesus Christ.
Amen.
AMEN! Prayers up now! 🙏
Will pray for you!!
There are a ton of companies who prefer to hire vets. They know they have work ethic. It’s frustrating trying to interview on indeed or other sites. I helped my cousin with his resume, it was too wordy. Tie in your strengths, make the resume extremely simple, make sure you put your veteran status. I would also suggest getting a headhunter or going to a temp agency. I know there was a big movement over Covid with new companies coming out for unvaxed etc. Not sure what field yall are in? Here’s one I remember seeing…

Out of curiosity… what do you mean when you say you tell people not to make this mistake?
I believe he means don't bother getting a degree
Hello, thank you Nola! And yes I meant about the degree. We have been in contact with a recruiter but so far nothing. It's a family friend actually so I know they aren't just blowing us off. Fewer companies are reaching out to them currently.
God, please bless and protect our brother and his wife. May their future be filled with success, prosperity, health, happiness, peace and all the blessings of a wonderful life. 🕊
Prayers on the way fren.
Consider a good trade, aircraft mechanic or something like that.
I don't understand... Are you putting "white, Christian, patriot, unvaxxed" on your resume? How would hiring staff even know about these qualities? Or do you have all of this on a Facebook page where they can find you and judge you?
Not on resume and don't have social media. They know my gender, race, and that I'm Unvaxxed because I was fired for not being vaxxed and claimed religious exemption and I'm thinking that follows me around.
The whole "religious exemption" phrase is psychotic. The only thing you are exempt from is the Church of the Needle of Atonement, the vaccine cult that ensnares this world.
Amen brother!
Consider looking into working as a security officer. The licensing is usually about 40 hours class work and they’re paying a lot more now $15-20 or more an hour. A lot of fellow vets do this for additional income etc. look at Craigslist and indeed for security work in your area.
Don jr is promoting a group that showcases patriotic companies. I think it is called patriot squared or something similar. Try seeing if you could get a job with one of those companies.
Had the same issue in 2019, took me almost a year to find something. I applied to well over 100 companies, heard back from around 10%, interviewed with maybe 20% of those. What I think helped in the end was to get on LinkedIn, fill out your job history, tell it you are looking for a new job and search for what you want. Apply to at least one on their platform. It will notify recruiters who will start finding you. Don't go exclusive with any recruiter. Use them to help tweak your resume, take every interview they send you (the more you practice the better you interview). Keep applying to things on your own with your updated resume. Take the first job you are offered even if it is crappy and continue with the process above. Stop only when you find the one you really want.
Thank you very much we are utilizing this right now. The problem we have is we are a far cry from anything and so this will really help.
Done. Stand your ground. The fact that the "System" seems turned against you, says you are on the right path.
I'm sorry. That is a lot of work you both went through. I pray the right job arrives for you both. I pray you are paid more than you expected, the jobs make use of your God-given gifts and that you get adequate time off for the holidays. I pray you are surrounded by patriots! Amen.
Start a business. Be charge of your own destiny. You got this! Etsy and eBay can be great places to start as you can keep your costs low.
You are in our prayers. Focus on your skills and how you can help make the business better (do not focus on any of the negative stuff). Reach out to people you know to let them know you are available. Networking is truly key here. Are you open to moving? Are you open to starting your own business (here is where the real money lives)? Wishing all the best!
Praying for you right now, fren
Building maintenance positions in the New England area are abundant. Just need to know household fixing stuff.
You are added to my prayers.
Praying to anyone other than God/Jesus is breaking one of the 10 commandments and is a slick way the Catholic church has gotten many good hearted Christians to pray to false gods. The various "Saints" were added to mimic the pantheon of Pagan gods.
Catholics don't pray to anyone other than God. They don't pray to Saints. Just as OP asks people to pray for him and his wife, Catholics ask Saints to pray for them.
Talking to the dead and asking them to do things for you is praying to them.
This isn't talking to the dead, like necromancy or seances. We believe that anyone that believes in Jesus as Savior has eternal life with God in heaven. They are not dead, just their physical bodies on earth. Their spirits are still alive. That's what eternal life means.
Asking someone to pray for you is not praying to them. OP is not praying to us when he asks for prayers.
Show me in the bible an example of Jesus telling his disciples to do what you are saying?
Jesus talks with the dead Moses and Elijah during the transfiguration Matthew 17:1-3 1-And after six days Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart: 2 And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow. 3- And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with him Also Mark 9:2–3, Luke 9:28–36
We are instructed to pray for others, which is intercession. We do not replace Jesus as mediary. We function as subordinate mediaries. James 5:16 16-Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much.
We are all God's children, in heaven and on earth, death does not separate God's family. We remain connected through Him and His love for us. Ephesians 3:14-15 14-For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom all paternity in heaven and earth is named, Romans 8:38-39 38-For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor might, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
God is the God of the living in heaven and on earth Luke 20:36-38 38-Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels, and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. 37 Now that the dead rise again, Moses also shewed, at the bush, when he called the Lord, The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; 38 For he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
Heaven rejoices with even one sinner repenting, suggesting that the angels and saints in heaven can hear our prayers and they can pray for us Luke 15:10 10-I say to you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon ninety-nine just who need not penance.
Well we would need a much longer convo to cover this topic but when we die we are all asleep until judgment day. That is why when he returns first the dead arise to meet him in the clouds and then those still alive and who have accepted him as saviour join them. Or do you think all the saved in heaven have to go back down to their graves to be resurrected again?
Asleep means death of the physical body, but the spirit leaves the physical body at the time of death. If they believed in Jesus, their spirit goes to heaven, which is their resurrection before He returns, so they are first. When Jesus returns, He will then resurrect His believers who are still living or awake. The physical body doesn't go to heaven, just the spirit. Heaven isn't a physical location or place. Its more of a different dimension or state of consciousness where we are connected with God as opposed to separated from Him.
1 Thessalonians 4:12-16 -12And we will not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them that are asleep, that you be not sorrowful, even as others who have no hope. 13 For if we believe that Jesus died, and rose again; even so them who have slept through Jesus, will God bring with him. 14 For this we say unto you in the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them who have slept. 15 For the Lord himself shall come down from heaven with commandment, and with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead who are in Christ, shall rise first. 16 Then we who are alive, who are left, shall be taken up together with them in the clouds to meet Christ, into the air, and so shall we be always with the Lord.
There is no marriage in heaven because there are no bodies, like the angels. Matthew 22:24-30 Saying: Master, Moses said: If a man die having no son, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up issue to his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first having married a wife, died; and not having issue, left his wife to his brother. 26 In like manner the second, and the third, and so on to the seventh. 27 And last of all the woman died also. 28 At the resurrection therefore whose wife of the seven shall she be? for they all had her 29 And Jesus answering, said to them: You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor be married; but shall be as the angels of God in heaven.
I appreciate your point of view here. I have read several opinions in books where they discuss both ideas and I feel there is more evidence of my stated view. Even the verses you cite seem to describe my point of view here. It clearly states that those who know Christ and have passed are "asleep" and will be raised up when he returns and their bodies will be restored while those who are still alive will have our bodies changed as well to an immortal form. Are you saying that the spirit goes to heaven immediately but then has to return to the grave to get the physical dust and reassemble the bones and such? I read that just as it states. We die and we are asleep. Judgment happens later at the return include non-believers. Are you saying non-believers spirit goes to hell rather than asleep to wait for judgment day? If we die and our souls goes to heaven right away then non-believers must go to hell right away. Do they get released at the judgment day and stand before God for judgment and then return to hell?
You both will be in my prayers.
A lot of this going on especially since you're White. The #GreatReplacement is real.
FWIW, here's a video I saw that may get the gears turning. My mom just paid a dude $1600 to pressure wash her house roof, gutters, and driveway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hY_jvDcChc
I don't understand these posts, everyone around here can't find anyone willing to work. I can't run errands without seeing a dozen now hiring signs. I just quit my job to go make an extra grand a week. PM me if you're serious and willing to relocate, I can show you a redneck town where you can rent a crappy apartment starting around 1k a month and have you both starting out at $20 an hour job you're probably not gonna like but they have great benefits and sign on bonuses if you aren't afraid of manual labor.
Tuition reimbursement. Suck it up in a hot and dusty factory for 4 years while going to school in the evenings and you'd be an engineer with no student loans and a 120k a year job waiting for you after graduation or she would be a nurse making almost as much. They have days and swing so one of you could be home constantly if you have kids.
My brother was in the military and he got a civilian job,working at the same army base,on the same weapon systems,at 3 times the money.....
