Today, I learned something that is rather depressing -- the job I was a sure hire for has been pulled from the market. That makes five jobs by my count where this has happened -- a job placed on the market, interviews are conducted, things feel great, then all of the sudden, "the company has decided not to fill this job at this time" (or something like that).
I've checked with a couple of other guys who are also unemployed and they've encountered some of the same things. It seems that some companies have a job opening, but the they hear President Obama and his administration imply that the economy will stink for his whole term and he'll need to be re-elected in 2012 to have enough time to get things right. OK, the president hasn't said those words, but that's what's being heard from what I can see. Thus companies are saying, "if this guy is now saying that all his campaign promises were typical politician lies to say whatever to get elected, then we better prepare for the worst." So some companies reduce work force and others decide not to fill job openings they have.
I know that everything is in God's hands and as such, I have to trust the Lord. That means I may be forced to do things I don't want to do such as move or take on what I would consider crummy jobs and work all the time to make ends meet.
