Job Fair Update

Well, no need to beat around the bush...  The job fair was basically a failure.  There were a lot of military recruiters and colleges advising people to go to college.  That really frustrated me, because I have a college degree and it's not doing much for me right now.  There were a few companies that dealt with children and youth, so I got some information on them and applied with them when I got home.  Michael talked to the same companies he's been talking to since we decided to come to Wichita.  One of the men at the Leerjet booth recognized Michael from the other career fairs he's been to.  That man did mention that someone in the company had recently grabbed Michael's resume and was looking at it, we'll see if we hear anything back about that.  Michael also applied online at Best Buy, he thinks that if he can't get an engineering job, that Best Buy might not be a bad option.

In other news, Michael had an audition today at the church we've been attending (Countryside Christian Church) to join the band playing his violin.  The lady loved him and the tone of his violin.  She's excited to get him into the band in the fall.  She said she would maybe even try to get him in a little this summer.  Michael's very excited to be back in a band.  While he was there the lady asked him about me and what I did.  He explained that I am a teacher, but hadn't found a job yet.  She knew of 2 jobs, a 4th grade job at Bethel School and an administrative assistant.  I called both people.  I then submitted a resume to Bethel and set up an interview for the administrative assistant job for tomorrow.

So, what's coming up...
Tomorrow - Interview for an administrative assistant job
Friday - Meeting with the regional manager from Belden's
Wednesday - Going to see the new Harry Potter movie!  :)  (What?!  I'm still going to enjoy my summer a little bit!)  We also get paid today!  (That will leave the August paycheck from USD 475, then we're completely broke...)

As always, keep us in your prayers.  We're looking in much different places than we planned on, but we need to pay our bills and keep our puppies fed.  So we'll take most anything at this point.  Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers!  We'll keep you up to date as we learn more.
