To be sure, I've been on both sides of a poor job market, a few times looking for work, and a few times trying to hire someone for a business that we started because I got fed up with the politics and drudgery of working for large companies. I felt badly when I wanted to hire one part-time secretary and about 150 people showed up for the job. I remember being jobless myself, mailing in resumes and just stopping by a business to fill out or drop off an application. I guess though, making a job out of finding a job was the thing that kept me going.

Good luck to you both, I wish you the best in finding a good job that you will enjoy doing.

WOO HOO!

That's Great News, Kevin!
