A Sigh of Relief.
Hey I was looking at our blog and realized that I better send a quick update. Brandon had a job interview on Wednesday for a temp to hire job with a sign company that I believe is called bargain banners, they told him that they would call him back on Weds. or Thurs. and they called him back later that same day telling him that he had been hired. (I will have Brandon write about the circumstances surrounding the interview.) HOORAY! He started the very next day (a.k.a Thurs.) He is being paid $10.00 an hour and will be officially hired on in 90 days. It is a fairly new company so there will be lots of room for advancement and growth. They do offer benefits but we won’t be able to afford benefits for the whole family on ten dollars an hour (unless the benefits are incredible awesome but somehow I doubt that.) He didn’t know when he would be up for his first raise, hopefully at 90 days. So there you go. I feel pretty good about this job. I think that at the very least we will be able to meet our needs, Brandon will enjoy his job, and there will be job security (meaning he could work there indefinitely until he graduates or stumbles into a better job). This will be good for my nerves. They also told him that in the slow times he could do some designing for them as well (right now they just hire freelance designers). I am hoping that when they move to their new building and as the business picks up that they will decide to hire a full time graphic designer and that Brandon will be right there to pick up the job. 😉 It will be good experience for his design resume regardless. So there you go, thank you for all of the prayers in our behalf.
