Catch it?

Every since my family moved to our farm about 6 years ago I have been job hunting. I was looking for something close to what I have and willing to take a 20k pay cut to be close to home. I have been made many job offers and declined them all due to insurance cost and coverage and low 401 matches.

A friend at church told me about where he works. It sounded ok so I put in and went through the first rounds of testing.
I have learns more of the details of the pay and benefits and I have to say I have found the unicorn I have been searching for.
Starting pay is what I make currently, they work the same schedule I'm on. After a year pay goes up almost $5 per hour and again after the 2nd year. 2 weeks vacation after one year, insurance on day one. INSURANCE IS FREE. lots of additional benefits I can add on for very low cost. Like 20k life insurance on my wife for 1.06 a week and 20k for the kids each for .07 a week. And on and on

It sound to good to be true. 30 miles one way from home 60 a day. Only work 15 days a month with the 12 hr shifts so only 10,800 miles a year. I will save 6k a year just on gas and not eating fast food becuse I won't be traveling and away from home .

I have another 3.5 hour evaluation/test/interview on the 17th in the afternoon. If things go well I will get put in a hiring pool but may not get an official offer for a while.

This would be so wonderful for my family. Our standards of living would not lower but go up and I would be home every day. I wouldn't miss as much church and I could be more involved in the local community. I should get my sanity back. I'm so tired of being away and behind on everything at home.

I have been trying not to get my hopes up to much but it's to late for that now.

If your prayer warriors I can use all the help I can get if this opportunity is part of his plan for my family..

I guess I'm so excited and hopefully I can't keep it contained any longer.

Makes a tear come to my eye, we will be praying. Very happy for you and Im sure family will sppreciate it too!

Hope it works out for you!

Best wishes for you and your family.

Having a job that fits your lifestyle pays every day In ways that a pay check can never equal .And on the good days it often does not seem like a job at all GOOD LUCK

Thanks for the well wishes. I'm going for it with everything I have. A friend that was in management at Ford asked me if I wanted any coaching and I'm going to take him up on it for sure.

Go get m!!! Sounds like you got this,

Ive read your posts often saying how far you drive to work because it’s the best thing you have going. I drive farther than all but one coworker at about 35 minutes and sometimes it seems long. Trimming it down to a half hour with more money would be amazing. Best of luck to you.
