I'm updated this thread again. Sorry you are probably tired to hearing of my job issues all the time. I apologize.

OK, now I maybe might have some good news but I think about it back and forth.

I was on a job interview today here in my hometown. It's a little different kind of job what I've done. But it seemed to interesting so I
thought to give it a try. Yes the interview went well and I still have one interview before they decided of they choose me or not. Oh gosh it's going to be so exciting.

Then I had search for another job too that's far away from where I live now. The job is in our capital Helsinki. And I thought just for fun
to search what might happen. I had no plans to move to our capital and I was sure that they are not even interested in me as a worker.
And what happened. They called me from our capital and wanted me to come on a job interview. I was shocked I couldn't believe what
I heard. So on Monday morning I travel down to South Finland to go on the interview.

Now I've been thinking back and forth. This job interview here in my hometown is not a issue. But what about the one in Helsinki then.
What if they suddenly after the interview come and ask me if I want to start to work for them. That mean a move from a small town to a big city, I don't know how ready I'm for that. And Juho can't come at first he don't have a job there yet and I don't know if he want to
come at all. And then I have my critters. Doggies would move with me and I have to leave my pony, I can't take her with me. She's too old. I am excited about this interview because I would finally get a job if they decide to choose me but at the same time I'm scared. A
big city that I'm not used to and to find a place where I can live. And to live by myself in a town I barely know. I hope I didn't a big mistake now when I searched for this job. I just hope things would solve soon, so I could stop worry about everything and going
on with my life. I just hope our dear father in heaven would show me soon how my life should going with work and family and
everything else.......... I'm tired of thinking about how my life will go right now. Because it's been too stressful so far already.

My friend said something that I really want to believe in right now.

If something is meant to be like this, it happens, that's our destiny.

Maybe it's my destiny to never move to South Finland and I get a job here in my hometown instead. Or then my destiny is to
move down there and work in a big city. Who knows.
Follow your heart and you can't ever go wrong...okay a caveat: At least not where it's important.

Good to see there are some opportunities coming up. Good luck with the interviews and if necessary with the decision whether to move to Helsinki or not. I don't know where (how far away) you live now, maybe you can commute for a while (on a daily or weekly basis, depending on the distance) before deciding if you want to keep doing that job and moving to (or near) Helsinki permanently.

Okay I was last Monday in Helsinki on that interview. It went well and I wasn't so nervous after all. I came back home
on Monday evening. On Tuesday they informed me from Helsinki that I didn't got the job. Great still unemployed.

On Wednesday I did a radical decision and called our town hall and asked if they have something for me. A lady who's working for
school and kindergarten kitchens says that "yes here is a job for you and would you like to start immediately" I said "yes of course"
and was back in work on Thursday. But this is not a permanent job and I'll go to work when someone is sick or they not find a worker.
At least is something until I find a permanent job.

That is good Jojo87 - something to keep you busy and your mind occupied while searching for a full time position.
I am glad to hear of it - plus maybe with less stress you can still work a bit without feeling overwhelmed - congratulations - that must have been unexpected! :encouragement:

That's great news Jojo87! I was only working part-time when I first came to work for Steve and it turned into full-time, so maybe it could work into something more for you, too, unless/until you find another full-time job you like more.
....that sparks an idea!...how about I start out as a part-time kitchen tour guide and maybe that'll work into something more permanent?....:eagerness:

And Grandma was rooting for work for Eldest Son when he was down both in employment possibilities and attitude. She found seasonal work for FedEx. He proved himself, impressed the supervistors, has been at it four about five years now, loves it, does great at it.
