Job interviews and all that fun stuff

Living in Idaho Falls is relatively new. Just moved here a month ago. It is gorgeous and I am enjoying it. But the absolute fun part is looking for a job. Going through want ads and searching for the ones I am qualified for or in some cases overqualified. It is not easy because I am in my 50's and I think that might make it harder to secure employment. I don't know that for sure and it may be I am still "young" enough to slide into a position. It is hard to know the mindset of employers. Starting over is not easy and it is the second time I have done it in less than 2 years. Oh so much fun. I am enjoying not working and I am blessed to get unemployment while I am not working because the reason I had to quit my job in San Diego was to relocate for my husband's new job. I am very thankful for it or my stress level would be very extreme. However I do want to work and so I am diligent about looking and following up with resumes I have submitted. I have had one interview and another scheduled for next week. This second one is less than a mile from our place so that would be sweet. But I will look to God and know He will provide me with a wonderful job. Still does not mean it is not stressful and can be discouraging when an interview does not pan out. I am just trying to keep a right mindset through this process and enjoy my time not working. And in this economy things can be tougher when it comes to looking for a job. So it is onward in my quest for a job and I will not give up.
