How's YH's job search going? What sort of jobs is he looking for? Are you planning to go back to work if he can't find anything? Sorry if I'm prying, just wondering how it's going!
Re: Kellie
Thanks for thinking about us
The search isnt good (and isnt good for my brother or my Dad). He's looking for something in the finance field. Jobs here are slim, and what is open in the finance field are either he's too qualified (they only want HS grads) or he's under qualified (they want 2 plus years experience). He has sent out countless resumes, and re tweaked it continuously but nothing ever pans out
My Dad is in the auto industry/managing, and my brother has a music/teaching degree. Jobs just arent open here. I know so many people that are unemployed right now here.
Our plans are to start TTC as soon as he finds a job, so I wont be looking for anything unless we are in dire need (which its getting close to that). We are lucky to already own our home though, so we dont have any worries about that.
And you arent prying!
Yeah subbing is really hard to do these days I've heard because they're laying off all the teachers and they get the sub jobs first.
Are employers like Starbucks, Traget etc. just as picky? I know it's nothing like their field or will pay nearly as well, but if it's the only option out there it could be worth a shot. They have really good benefits!
Not trying to be nosey but just curious how you manage to not have a mortgage?! And how are you able to make ends meet if YH doesn't qualify for unemployment?
I really hope things look up for you guys!
