THE STRONG EXPERIMENT

Unemployed Isn't So Bad

Wow, time flies.  I can't believe it's been almost two weeks since the big layoff.  We've been staying very busy and I've been having a good time playing with the boys.  Sometimes it's hard to tell them that I can't play because I need to get some work done.

Last week I spent a couple of days at an employment workshop where I learned about networking, resumes, interviews, etc.  I then spent several hours on Thursday conducting mock interviews using the camcorder to record myself.  It was a good learning experience as I found several things that I needed to brush up on.  I was able to put this practice to good use on Friday as I had one of those marathon interviews that lasted all day (9am - 3pm).  I think it went well and I look forward to hearing back from them this week.

I am very optimistic that I will be employed soon and greatly appreciate all your thoughts and prayers.

Glad to hear about the interview! Mike had an interview on Friday as well so it'll be good when everyone gets placed:)
