WooHOO!!!!

Josiah has been consistently looking for work since we moved! He’s been a trooper though it has been discouraging. I kept telling him that in a college town such as this he’d probably find that they don’t hire 16 year olds.

He had an interview and call back from a Chick-Fil-A a couple of weeks ago. The man wanted to hire him but didn’t really need to hire someone. We felt that it was a good experience for him and we talked about how he could interview better. He turned 17 on the 9th.

Today he got a call to interview at the Chick-Fil-A in the mall. He went. He just called to say that they hired him. He begins tomorrow. He’ll be working 20 – 25 hours a week but NO SUNDAYS!!!! because the company isn’t opened on Sundays.

He forgot to ask what min. wage is down here…considerably less than in AK but that is fine. He really wants to save for a car and for life after he graduates…so this is good.

Every night at family worship Nolan has been saying “pray that Cy gets a job” and I know it’s gotten a bit wearing on Josiah to hear it night after night but Nolan will be SOOOO excited. {G}

How exciting! I went to my first Chick-Fil-A when I was in Gulfport. I read a book called The Secret by Ken Blanchard & Mark Miller. Mr. Miller is the VP of training and development for Chick-fil-A. It was a GREAT book! Sounds like this is a very good company to work for!

I'll have to check out the book. I really known very little about the company - not sure I've even eaten there - but they are closed on Sunday and THAT is a great thing.
