I am definitely one of what they call discouraged workers. Unemployed 4 years now and getting old ( 59). Good news.  One of my prodigals came home to Christ and has been clean from alcohol for over two weeks. Bad news, helping her get treatment for alcoholism has put me even more under. She also eats up a lot of my supplements for her underlying nervous disorder - runs in the family.

There doesn't seem to be alot of activity in this group.  Probably we're all busy looking for work, starting businesses etc.  Hopefully, this can be a place of encouragement.  We'll I've looked for work I've started my own business.  I am needing to find peple who want to look at what I do.  I figure I might as well be doing something while I'm looking for something.....does that make sense.  I am loving what I do and want to share it with others.  I would like to create a strong tema of Christian leaders in the marketplace.  I think as we move through this economy we have to be ready to "create our own economic stimulus and not rely on the government.  Keep the faith in what God has called you to do and be open to looking at other opportunities.  Just finished a book:  Its Your Time by Joel Osteen.  Great encouragement!  You all have a great blessed day.

I'm excited.  I just joined this group.  I'm kind of looking for work while I start my own buisness.  History in America shows that small business and entreprenuers are the ones who change America and keep America moving.  Have any one in this group considered starting something on their own?  Just curious.  I love networking and finding out what others are doing or are looking for.  So, lets share ideas and encourage one another.  I want to use my work/business to minister to others and give to the Kingdom.

If you belong to Jesus Christ and you are in fact genuinely "Born-Again", you have every reason to believe that your " God shall supply ALL of your need"...assuming you are not in direct rebellion to the will of God like Jonah was. I have just prayed.

i joined this for my dad who lost his job a few months ago. my family and I are hoping and praying he gets one soon so we don't run out of money. We don't know if we'll have enough money for my brother and I to go to college. Please pray for us :)

Want to post this while I am thinking about it...I have an interview tonight with a family that has a 7 week old baby boy! I turned this one down last week, then Mon got a call from the agency, the dad had called wanting to know what it would take to get an interview with me...I decided to move forward with it this week. Last week when I turned them down it was for a few reasons, and I was also not in the best frame of mind as the beginning of last week was a hyper-emotional time, but I'm definitely better this week. The stress of the whole unemployment thing sometimes get to me:-(

Since this family is pursuing me, I take it as God saying I need to do this...What comes to mind is the person deserted on an island and asking God to save him. God sends 3 or 4 different means, yet the person isn't seeing these items as means of rescue. The person dies, asks God why HE didn't rescue him and God tells him he sent all those means to do so but they were rejected or not seen as help. I want to go into this interview with my eyes open and have definite clarity to whether this is the job for me or not, to come away with a peace of yes or no. Thanks for all the prayers during the past 3 1/2 months...they have been very appreciated!!!

Really praying hard for a job opportunity!!!  I have been unemployed for about 2 1/2 months now and it is really pressing in on  me:-(  I have filled out online profiles and today I sent an email to an agency director who had placed me last year.  I'm primarily looking for a new nanny job, but am open to other possibilities if that is where the LORD is leading.  In the meantime, praying for HIS provision for meeting financial needs that are coming up.  Thanks!!!  Blessings!!!

As of today, 8/10, it has been 2 months since I was released from my job.  I had been a nanny for a family since the end of last Aug for a family whose children had been in daycare before that.  It wasn't anything I did, it was a decision my employers made to return their children to daycare, that having them home wasn't working for them.  A couple of friends told me the way I was released was very much a corporate thing and both parents work in the corporate world.  They told me at the end of the work day on a Friday their decision and that that day was my last, with 1 week's severance!  No 2 weeks notice!  It made me question my abilities as a nanny for a while, but friends have reassured me and a couple of interviews have boosted my confidence.

I am still looking for work, either as a nanny once again, but not using this last family as a reference; or possibly in the area of non-medical home health care for the elderly; even in the arena of hospitality as I have a heart for missions and having a guest house for missionaries to come for a time of rest/relaxation.  

Am doing the unemployment thing, but really need a job.  Please pray for wisdom, clarity, guidance in what God would have me doing.  Whatever I do I plan to do for the glory of God, to be HIS light and salt in the world.  Thanks!!!
