Job Search Update

Not this past Thursday, but the one before that Jon had the opportunity to meet with a man who owns a big technology company. This man goes to the church that our church was planted out of - that's how Jon got connected with him. When he headed to the meeting Jon wasn't sure what to expect. He was thinking he would get some advice on his job search and ask some questions, possibly even leave with an internship. What he came away with was some of that and much more. He doesn't have an internship - that was a miss-communication, but he is much more clear about what he should be doing. The man was very kind but also very open and honest. He looked over Jon's resume & portfolio site and gave him some pointers and ideas on what to do different. He also went a little deeper and spoke into other areas of Jon's life. Jon said it was definatly God speaking through this man.

Just a few days after that meeting Jon got a call from a company that he applied at. He had an interview with them this past Thursday. The interview went extremely well according to Jon. The people seemed to be very personable and friendly and they liked Jon's portfolio a lot. He will know in about 2 weeks if he got the job or a second interview. We're not getting our hopes up but Jon said he would really like that Job, so we are praying. If he doesn't get the job though, then it wasn't God's will and we won't be upset.

So that's the latest news on Jon's job search.
