St. Joseph's Chapel: Prayers for Employment

[AdoramusTeChriste]

I didn't have to look very far. From Vox's novena page:

Novena to St. Jude
Say once a day for 9 days, especially beginning on 20 October and ending on 28 October, the eve of the Feast of St. Jude. When the Novena is finished, you must publicly thank St. Jude for his prayers for you. This is often done by taking out a small ad in the Classifieds section of newspapers.

To Saint Jude, Holy Saint Jude, Apostle and Martyr, great in virtue and rich in miracles, near kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke thy special patronage in time of need. To thee I have recourse from the depths of my heart and humbly beg to whom God has given such great power to come to my assistance. Help me in my present and urgent petition, in return I promise to make thy name known and cause thee to be invoked. Saint Jude pray for us and all who invoke thy aid. Amen.

Recite an Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be three times. Keep your promise to St. Jude and make his name known.

Thank you St. Joseph, I knew you would come through.  Today I started my new job.  I think this is a good job for me and that I will help people.  I made a promise to you that when I got a job finally, that I would do something special and I intend to do it.  I love you St. Joseph.  You are the best.
Praise God

Please help me beg St. Joseph for a good position.  I've been out of work for 5 months now and it's getting very frustrating.  I had 3 interviews last week and 1 this week.  The IRS just emailed me to tell me that my application was accepted and I passed their integrity test, so I should be hearing from them soon.  I would REALLY like the IRS one, but God knows where He wants me.  Please pray that He'll give me a hint soon as to where that is.

Thank you so very much.

     I started sending resumes for a position in may and just started a job last week.  Sent out over four hundred resumes and got only 3 callbacks for interviews.  I understand how you feel and know your frustration.  I believe that it will happen.  Actually, the job I finally got was not one that I applied for.  I posted a resume on craigslist and a doctor called me for a position.  Which brings up the question if you have looked for work on craigslist.  I found that more jobs were listed on craigslist.com that anywhere else.  I also found indeed.com to have many more positions than other links because the main employment sites all pool into indeed.com.  You are in my prayers.

I am very underremployed and bills are starting to get behind.  I am looking for a new job.  Does anyone have a good novena to St. Cajetan I can try?

I wasn't able to find anything, but if you e-mail these people they might have something for you.

I'll keep you in my prayers.

Thank you so much, Daniel.  I'm sorry I didn't see your post sooner.  I didn't know anything about craigslist or indeed.com.  I will check them out right away.

I've gotten 2 more loser letters and completely blew the last interview.  They sprang 2 tests on me at the end of the meeting.  I just kind of froze.  I'm usually more prepared for things like that, but this one just threw me.  I'm so depressed.  Oh, well.

I'm really glad that you found something, Daniel.  There's always hope, isn't there.  Thanks again. 

God bless all of you who are praying for me. And happy All Saints Day!!

I was actually conditionally offered a position today.  Pending a drug test I take tomorrow, it's mine!!  Woo Hoo!!  Thank you, thank you, thank you, St. Joseph!

It's actually with the place I that I blew the tests after the interview.  I'll be in the business office of the Women's Department of Corrections.  Working mainly with the women on work release and the canteen.  Balancing all the books and making sure the ladies get all their pay.  It's going to be interesting to say the least.  It's kind of funny, the last 4 positions I've held were in some sort of secured facility (psychiatric hospital, bureau of investigation, juvenile detention center, state lab).  It's got me curious as to what God's thinking.

Thanks to all of you as well for your prayers.  I'm going to have a mass of thanksgiving said and will ask to have you all mentioned.  Especially you, Daniel for your wonderful encouragement.  Thank you so much!
