[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 441306, member: 4264"] Thanks all :) It's been an unreal 2 1/2 years since his layoff, and 2 long years of school for him. Intense since it was 2 years but was meant to be longer but is a condensed program so he took double courses the entire time. Whew! He certainly has earned in my mind a right to hope for a great position, especially since we went through this together once already when he went to school again a year after we met. We've been through a LOT of education for him in the past 7+ years together, mixed in with a couple of years where he did love the job he had and his former company. I really want this for him, even if the pay was cruddy (although trust me, I'll be happy to see a good pay coming in!). He is one of those guys that needs fulfillment in his job, a challenge, has to continue to learn more and know more and expand his knowledge base, move out of his comfort zone etc. This company can definitely accomodate all of those things for him. And that pay is going to be wonderful given that we've twice now sacrificed hugely as an entire family to float the bills while he pursued all of these things. Top of our list is putting the money away for next years wedding. We've decided that if he gets this particular job, his very first full pay we are using it to pay for the reception venue and deposits on a few things to get the ball rolling. For that reason alone if they don't hire him on the spot I may have to go in myself with a bride to be album, shake it in their face and refuse to let them out of their office until they've signed him up for employment ;). Another bonus, he can get there in about 20 minutes on foot, 5 minutes by bike (he rides a lot). He's quite excited tonight. Haven't ever seen him this excited about a job prospect so I'm enjoying listening to him and seeing him all wound up. [/QUOTE]
