Times Have Changed. . .

Big day today, Sprat is off at camp, Big T gets to be an only child for a week, and the hubbs is off to his first face to face interview in 24 years.   He has had several phone interviews over these last several weeks some proved positive others proved he has too much experience for what ever these folks were looking for.  This is quite the daunting task for anyone on the job hunt after 24 years.  Many things have changed in the way you find jobs since my dear sweet hubby and I last looked for jobs.   You only get face to face with a possible employer if you have jumped through the many hoops of electronic submissions and phone interviews.  This makes your resume the most important piece of your job hunt tool box, it is one of the first things a prospective employer will see and evaluate before they decide to make contact.
My hubby was in sales so they want to see and know that he can sell.  They want to see proof of success in his field.  The hubbs went to a professional group to help him set up his resume, he had twenty-three years of success to put into one resume and make it stand out.  There is no shame in seeking help, anyone in a professional position should seek a professional to set up their resume and guide them through these murky waters.
This has been a very interesting experience, the job game has really changed since I was last in the job market.  This will certainly help us to help our kids when they start their application process for their first jobs and even their application process for college.  Many thanks for all those that are praying for us and the kind words.

Below is a quick picture of Sprat as we were dropping him off at camp yesterday.
