Some news is good news

Well, it's not much, but we did catch a teeny, tiny, miniscule break today. Michael was finally able to get a hold of two different recruiters at a couple of companies this morning, and one told him to call back in a two weeks to set up an interview, and the other finally gave in and said they're not hiring this week, but to call back next week and see about setting up an interview. Now, believe me, if you're reading this it doesn't sound like good news at all, but at least these guys are finally answering their phones, AND the first company is only waiting two weeks because their HR department is at a conference until the second week in March, and the second company... oh man. Michael has been calling them 6 or 7 times a week since December, and that's no exaggeration, and every time he got a hold of the recruiter all he got was "Try again next week". Literally, that's what he was told every single time. THIS time the guy pulled his resume, put a star next to his name, and told Michael that because of his perseverance he's on the list to get an interview as soon as they starting hiring again, which will probably be in the next month or so. No job yet, but this at least gives us something to focus on. We're not giving up. Thank you God!
