I just wanted to send out a quick prayer request regarding Jason’s job situation.
Currently, Jason is Department Head of Plumbing at Home Depot in in Folsom, which he’s been doing full time since December. Now that he has graduated, he is eligible for HD’s College Training Program. This is a program for people with a Bach. degree who want to pursue becoming an Assistant Manager(ASM) with HD. He submitted his resume and was called in for an interview a few weeks back. It went well and they are planning to have him come in for the final interview within the next few weeks. If he is accepted into the program he would go through a six month training for the ASM position. Being in this program itself would give him a significant raise. After the six months is up then his progress is evaluated. If he is done well, he can become ASM once there is a vacancy (this may mean he leaves the Folsom store). A starting pay for an ASM is, I believe, is $50k.
We’ve talked about it as a couple and if this all goes the way it’s been going it is something Jason will pursue. I only humbly ask for prayer in all of this. The quicker we can start saving for seminary, the better. As for me, I’ll most likely get into a full time job with the state come January 2008 – right after I graduate. This will lead to some good money and security. So my plans are a bit different, and I have my own hoops to jump through. It’s just the story of two college grads trying to get their first jobs out of school. You know the deal…
At the end of the day, all we ask is for simple prayer regarding all this. Pray that God will show his providence, even when we can’t see it.
Thanks! More later!!
