Job update

 The background check came back today and they are keeping him! Thank you Lord! 

M loves this job. He says he is doing exactly what he wants to do. 

The only bad part is he has to register in another state now since the job is across state lines. 

Jobs

 I have read about the difficulty for SOs being able to find/keep jobs. M has been fortunate in that we have a close friend who knows about Ms situation and he rehabs houses and pools. So M has been hired on to do day labor work while on probation. In a bit of coincidence his PO actually knew this friend of ours so she was totally OK with M working for him even if it was not the most regular work. 

Since M has been off paper (probation) he has been chomping at the bit to find a regular job. He applied at a few places and actually was called for a couple of interviews. One of the jobs is for cabinet making which is what he was trained for while he was at Charleston. He was hired on the spot! 

They do know about his federal conviction and they are doing a background check. Now comes the waiting. We know of SOs who have been fired upon the background check results, even after having worked for a week or so. I hope M makes enough of a good impression that they will keep him! He is not getting his hopes up yet. And he is prepared for the results to not be good. 

Prayers!
