Finally...some hope!

[Matt Probst]

It's been over 2 months since being laid off and there is light at the end of the tunnel. After all this time of searching this horrible job market , recieving poor offers, and doing nothing else but playing Mr. Mom and working on the railroad, (I know..poor me ) I'm going to be sitting down with a gentleman tomorrow morning to formally discuss good employment!
Phone interviews, discussions and paperwork with this company have hopefully reached a fruition!

Please keep ALL of your fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!!

Matt--Hershey, Pa.

Matt,
Good luck - lots of us have been there and know the frustrations of unemployment and poor job offers... hang in there guy... even if this one doesn't work out.

 

[Blake]

You'll get it. Just relax and don't say things like " hey, nice hairpiece!" or "nice picture of your Mom" (when it is actually a picture of his wife). You know. Good luck.

 

[Tyson Rayles]

Best of luck Matt!

Good Luck Matt!!!

 

[Matt Probst]

Thanks so much for all the good wishes folks. But.............The interview went extremely well until we got to the part where I was told the co. couldn't extend an offer unless I agreed to relocate. I'm not about to go hauling my family around the country again even though I know that my inflexibility handcuffs my options somewhat.
Oh well; when one door closes, another opens as I got an encouraging phone call from another potential employer that is very interested in talking to me sometime next week! (no relocation necessary!)
So, try try again!!!!

Matt--Hershey, Pa.

 

[N Gauger]

Yeah - not relocating is a good choice. If something went wrong later (lay-offs) your stuck somewhere you really didn't want to be. Good luck onthe next one!!!!!

 

[jon-monon]

Sorry it didn't work out, Matt. I'm with N, be where you want to be. Hope you get the next one! Economy should be picking up I hear. Knock their sox off!

 

[shaygetz]

Great choice---family first. Spent time as a Florida monback (the guy on the back of a trash truck slingin' cans and sayin' " 'Mon back!!") to keep my family fed and sheltered. It'll work out. Blessings, BC

 

[Matt Probst]

Thanks Guys! Family 1st is right. Our whole family now lives in the area. My son will be starting kindergarten in the fall and my wife lost two grandfathers in a year and now gives alot of help to her grandmothers. My 93 yr. old grandmother just moved into a Masonic home in Elizabethtown, Pa. down the road from me and they have their own model railroad club I may want to get involved with. ( I forgot to mention...relocating would also mean dismanteling and packing up crates of mrr stuff. AGAIN! NOT FUN!)

off topic for this thread, but here's a link for the club at the Masonic Homesfor those of you who may be interested. It looks like alot of fun.
