After 3 months of applying to about or over 100 jobs, I finally landed a job opportunity just 5 minutes down the road from where I live. Full time with benefits. My husband is excited. There was a little bit of confusion from seeing something on Indeed and my background check still in the process. After calling them about it, the offer was still on the table and I said yes. I start on March 2nd. Gives my husband time to put in his 2 weeks with his employer.

Tell your husband to wait on quitting his job. Make sure you like your job, it will take more than 2 weeks to figure this out. He should have another job lined up before he quits. Good luck!

The company that he works for right now, it is slow with the kind of work that he does

Awesome!!! "I finally landed a job opportunity just 5 minutes down the road from where I live." This part makes me so jealous. My commute is 30 minutes each way 😭. Congrats to you OP, good luck at the new gig!!

Thank you very much. I hope everything works out for you too

Happy for you! Congratulations!!

Thank you. I was gonna give up if this one didn't work out

Persistence pays off. To all others out there that are similarly situated, don't give up. my recent experience and research indicate that, for many vocations, it takes about 30 applications to get an interview, and about a 100 to get an offer. Stick with it. And to you, SO, congrats.
