Bowtech_archer07 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 But the man upstairs really isn't smiling down on me right now. I just saw on the news that one of the departments I was hoping for a job at just hired 3 new officers... the maximum amount they had the budget for last time they were in contact with me. Now I'm waiting to hear from one of the other departments that was looking hopeful and hoping and praying. I'm also headed down to Nashville TN next Thursday to test for a job down there. Maybe something will come out of those two but I'm feeling pretty down on my luck. I know I should just be happy that I have a job for the time being but all I have wanted to do for a long time is be a police officer and nothing seems to be working out right now. I knew this wouldn't be easy when I started this career path, but I feel that I'm doing all I can right now to further my career choice and nothing is coming from it. It is just such a long, drawn out process and it really gets discouraging even though I'm on the list at 4 different places and still looking for more places to apply. Not really sure what to think right now. Well thanks for listening to me rant. If you guys and gals could spare the time I could use a few prayers.. Thanks again.

Newarcher Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Don't doubt him.... Far too many times I was where you were and thought I was being picked on by God. But later came to find out he was actually saving me from myself....his way always worked out 1,000 times better than I had planned. Be patient, it will work out.

Bowtech_archer07 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Thanks, Kyle, I will definitely check that out! I know He is always thinking ahead and everything He does is for the better and i'm sure this is a test, it just really stinks. I'm looking all over the country for job opportunities, but the process is so long, that I can't just move to a different state and risk not getting the job there. I have a job here and very few expenses as I'm still living at home waiting for something to come up. It's really a tricky position to be in. From the time of application to the hire date for most departments is anywhere from 4-12 months, so it would be difficult to move out of state somewhere and try to find a job there for the time being until I get a police job. I know this sounds like a bunch of excuses not to move, but I have student loan payments that I have to make and I have to have a job to make those...
