Hi, All

I got a job interview with JP morgan in this coming Fri. Please pray for me I have the right thing to say as I’m hopless on job interview. This role (Unit Price Analyst) is very import for me.

I really hope this is the right job for me, so I can use my skills and potential; and I hope this time I can say “good my bye” to my on going contract role at MLC.

As I submitte this issue to the Lord, please also pray that in whatever situation, I will keep trusting the Lord.

By the way, I still haven’t find a place to move yet. Everywhere is pretty expensive and my on-going contract job doesn’t give me any job security. Therefore, I have been saving my emergency fund.

Ray

Praise the Lord

I gotta say the job I’m doing at MLC is great. Thanks God for that.
It gave me enough time to study and help me to pay off my on-going living expensive

I went well for the job interview, I probably will get the response in a week time.
Last night the US market - Dow droped almost 400 points due to the unemploymnet rate surged to 5.5% from5.1%; oil surged $10 up to $139 a barrel. ASX will be expected to open lower on Mon. Looking for a full time job in fund management and financial market areas are increasingly difficult at this time.  So please keep praying.

Let’s see God’s will.

Well, I didn’t get that.

I guess I have to keep looking...........

Keep aiming high Ray.  I’m sure everything will work out just fine.  A little short term disappointment - but you’ll see - things will be great.

Did they give feedback on your interview?

Well, I received the email at work in the morning

It said something like that “other candidate got more experience and skills for this position...........”.
Well, you know what the template letter looks like.

Well, thanks for the prayer anyways.

I guess I have to stay in the “jail” little bit longer and doing the thing I don’t like.

I’m quite disappointed.
I’ve two Masters under my belt, I work as a on-going contract employee (for 8 months), I receive no formal training, my wage is below average................

If I don’t get anything reasonable, I will go back to overseas to fast track my career next year for sure. There is no reason for me to stay here. I’m sorry for the ministries I’m supporting and doing.

Hi Ray,

There’s an interesting FairfaxDigital article called “Time-tested tips for handling job rejection” that might be helpful at :

Time tested tips

On the right side of that page there are also over 40 linked articles that offer good advice in finding and getting a job.

Stay optimistic and don’t forget to count your blessings.

Cheers, Kevin

One more week, I will be out of work.

Thanks for the new boss who wants to claim her bonus because of my hard work.

Tomorrow is my last day at work, next week I will officially join the unemployment workforce.

I couldn’t sleep well lately and have pretty bad chest pain.

Ray
Sorry to hear that you have not found other work as yet, and even more so that it is affecting you physically.  Will pray for you, that you will keep trusting the Lord, even when it’s hard to see what his purposes are for you.

I got another job interview today as a Portfolio Analyst.

Please pray for me that I know what to say.

Good morning Ray,

I will be praying for you that you will be relaxed and able to present your talents to the fullest. What time is the interview ?

Cheers, Kevin

I’m praying for you too, Ray. If you can do the interview half as well as you played Mario Kart yesterday, you’ll be a shoe-in!

I did the interview yesterday, it went all right.

The working hour is somewhat between 11am-8pm.

Despite the job is a perfect place to start my career.
I’m not sure will I take that position whether or not. I will be hurdled by those weird working hours, stopping me to go to the bible study and the Newtown mission each week.

Ray, I’m very pleased it went well.
If you are offered the position, maybe before deciding whether or not to accept it you should look at whether there would be another bible study you could attend (before you start work, for instance).
Some years ago I worked for an insurance company which had a quite active Christian lunch time fellowship and depending where you are there are groups that meet in the city and suburbs; they may be an option if the hours stop you from attending some of the things you currently do.
Please keep us posted on your progress.
