Hi Freepers: I am here seeking prayer request for job search for the third time. The first time was 2008 and the second time was 2019. Both times, down to a wire, I could have stayed at my old jobs but found something at the last minute and moved on.
I really thank the Freepers who prayed for me the last two times.
This time is the same. We are expected a big layoff in the coming months. I have started the job search.
I am praying that God will guide in this difficult times, walking on a razor's edge.
Please say a prayer for me. Thank you!
I will say a prayer for you. Job losses or the possibility of job losses cause a lot of stress in our lives. I pray all goes well for you.
prayers up.
I’m in a similar situation.
Payers up for just the job the Lord would have you have.

I’ve been looking for two years. The job market is absolutely brutal right now, especially if you look like you might be over 40 on paper. But it’s no picnic for the youngsters either right now.
Best of luck to you.
Prayers up for you! God has a plan. Trust your heart and follow the Lord.
BTW - I am in a similar situation. It helps me get through the tough times.
prayers up for you, too.
Prayers up.
Dilbert San Diego; ckilmer; flamingconservative; chrisser; dacula - Thank you!
ckilmer: Prayers for you too and hope you find something soon!

I hear you. I know this all-to-well myself. Tremendous battles. I’ve got a battle myself in the same ways. The Enemy always is a hindereance. Prayers up and God bless you 🙏🙏🙏🛐🛐🛐.
Anyway, it’s good that you are looking now instead of waiting for the ax. That mindset will save you. God provides for the birds in the firks after all, and you are so much more than that.
Prayers up!
“The job market is absolutely brutal right now, especially if you look like you might be over 40 on paper.”
And don’t double-space after periods between sentences. I’ve heard that that’s ones of the methods they use to identify older applicants. IDK if it’s true.
Are you looking in one particular area, or open to relocating?
I will definitely kept you in my prayers. 🙏
Prayers up!
Sorry to hear. Prayers that your job situation works out for you.
*keep
Prayers up
INTERESTING THAT age 40 is referenced.
I BECAME SELF EMPLOYED AT AGE 40. NEVER LOOKED BACK.
Last client retired in 2022. HE was 84. I was 82.
I just offered to do neighbor’s bookkeeping for purchase/rehab project he is considering.
