It&#39;s so sad to read about how most of our Crazies are being affected by the downturn in the economy.  I know for us it has been a nightmare.  We have both decided to get full time jobs.... but guess what - I went for an interview in my field on Friday and they had 183 applicants for the job.  they brought in 12 people together into the board room explained the job and the Company and then said if you do not have the exact qualifications and skills that we are looking for, please feel free to leave now.  They brought in 12 people every 2 hours for a couple of days. They then interviewed us individually in the CEO&#39;s office.  He told us that they have had nurses and teachers applying for Administrative jobs, so they know every one out there is desperate.  One thing is very evident, they want 20-somethings with years of experience and who are prepared to work for much less than applicants with lots of experience.  I think we are going to notice companies employing young entry level people... while the married&#39;s and older folks are having a harder time finding employment....... very sad situation.<br /><br />So right now we are surviving on DH&#39;s two day a week job, until I start on January 5th with my seasonal job.  I am hoping for both of us to get full time employment soon - so prayers will be very much appreciated my friends.
