As many of you know I have been looking for a job for the past 18 months. Fortunately with the severance package from the position I was downsized from and unemployment we have managed to make it through.
The Great Blessing is that on Monday the 26th I go to work for Canon Business Solutions here in Portland. I was recommended for the position by a member of their Sales Staff, a gentleman I had worked with at 2 previous companies.
During the second interview they ask what I needed money wise if I were offered the job. I told them with the skills I would be bringing to the team I was worth $30 an hour and they agreed but ask what I needed to come to work for them if offered the job. I gave them a range figuring they would go for the bottom end of the spread. Instead they offered $.21 less then the top of the range.
By the time I go in Monday morning I will be down to the last 5 weeks of the final extension of unemployment. Once again God has taken care of His children.
I thank you for your prayer support during this difficult time and ask that you continue to pray for Teri and I as over the next few months we will be required to be apart for 2-3 weeks at a time while I'm off to training to come up to speed on Canon's equipment.
In Christ.
