My husband is looking for a job in academia right now. It's quite late in the year for such things and this is actually his second year looking. We've already used the "nuclear option" of student loan debt for this last year so he really, really needs a job to come through soon. The good news, and the first part of my prayer request, is that he has an interview on Thursday. Other than the fact that this would be a full-time income there is nothing to excite us about this job. But, dh does need employment so if you could pray for his interview and for us all to have peace and enthusiasm about the job--it's close enough that we're all going along so I can explore the area.
Second, and I feel really selfish adding this, he has another very good lead on a job that is probably quite likely to make an offer. But we've been told that things at that school will probably move slowly. We would be very, very excited about this second job. It's almost perfect. But it seems unlikely that they will make an offer before this first school.
So, prayers for this interview Thursday and peace for us all around would be most appreciated.
God Bless,
Susan

We have been in this same position, trying to weigh jobs against each other, hoping that the timing of offers will be just right...ugh. It can be a very anxious situation! I'll be praying!

Thank you, Melanie. We are also praying a 30-day prayer to St. Joseph the Worker.
Susan

Praying here, Susan -- we have been remembering you in our ongoing Saint Joseph "eternovena." I know all too well what these academic-job searches are like . . .
