Job hunting status....

Well, the job hunt progression is going slowly.  Today my husband met with another recruiter.    He confirmed what we already know.... that there is a lot of competition out there for what my husband is looking for.  In fact he mentioned that the most recent posting he filled ( in an area that my husband would be qualified for and interested in), they interviewed five candidates and 4 of the 5 were all equally qualified for the job.   He said any one of them would have been a good fit, but the employer obviously just chose the one which he thought would fit into their environment the best.  

Knowing this makes it apparent that charisma and communication skills are obviously what are going to get you the job.   Especially in a saturated market.  How’s that for pressure.

We had a little bit of good news though, and that is that my husband’s job is extended officially til the end of November.  This is the portion I can share:

  “This email is to provide you with written notice that your employment will be extended to November 30, 2014.”

  It is sure painful waiting for that letter to come through each month (supposedly supposed to come on the 15^th..but didn’t come until the 21^st) confirming that we will be employed one extra month, but once it comes it is nice to have a sigh of relief!  Even more relieving will be when we get the phone call offering my husband full time employment.:)  My hope is that 'they' have some empathy and don't end it all before Christmas...but business is business.

So current status job status:

One job he interviewed for a month ago, but the company hasn’t moved forward. One job applied for yesterday that he found on www.indeed.com, and one visit with a recruiter.
