Peter Got a Job!

I am so proud of Peter. Even though most electrical companies are laying off, not hiring, he has been so diligent for the last few weeks. Finally, after countless resumes and phone calls and interviews he found a GREAT job. He really caught their attention because of his constructions management degree. So they called him and told him to come in and fill out their application. He decided to wear his suit because when he had done this at other companies sometimes he got an interview. So looking all sharp while he was doing his application, all of the people in the office noticed him, but thought he was a lawyer. After he left, the secretary told them who Peter was so that left a big impression on them. Then one of the head guys flew in from LA and took him out to dinner. He wanted to give peter an estimating job that probably would have been more money but Peter told him he needs to get hit electrical hours done (he has one year left). The guy told him that would be okay, but he wants Peter to move up as soon as he gets that done. The best part is that this is a national company that could transfer to Oregon if he wants when we move back. I am so proud of him, and this is going to be a great opportunity for learning for him.

He also has left a great impression with Clark Pest Control too. He realized that he was overpaid by quite a bit for something so he called the guy that he knows from corporate. The guy asked him to come down to Stockton and figure it out with him. So while Peter was there he got to meet Joe Clark, the company owner who actually knew Peter's name. They were so impressed that Peter wanted to return the money that they offered him a corporate job too. He was very flattered, and respectfully declined.

I guess there is something to be said for having character. I could not be happier for Peter and can't wait to hear how his first day goes today. Having a permanent job has been a missing piece for us since moving here and now we are feeling the blessings come once again. I am exited that his hours will be 6:30 - 3:30 too so we can still have him home a lot. He can also sell pest control at night next summer if he wants to. So many opportunities and blessings.
