My husband accepted a job offer today! Yipee!!!!! He starts January 2. It's a contracting/temporary position. There are no benefits, but it's a paycheck. He does have a couple of other irons in the fire that are full time positions with benefits. He is still a candidate for both, so there is hope for something permanent with benefits.
The contracting job offer call came yesterday afternoon. The gentleman left a message, and my husband picked it up last night. He asked me if I thought he should accept the position if offered. I asked him why wouldn't he. My thoughts were that he could continue his job search and if one of these two full time positions pans out, he could quit the contracting job. Plus, the contracting job is with a major corporation. Now he will have his foot in the door and can view internal job postings. Perhaps he could find a permanent position with this company. At least now he'll have income so we can stop dipping into the retirement fund. I must say that I'm grateful that it was only four weeks of dipping.
Once my husband is on the job, I'm going to present him with my rapid debt reduction plan and my retirement plan. I want to encourage him to work with me to get out of debt and retire from our day jobs in 10 years.

Congrats to your husband! What a wonderful Christmas present!
Great new and congratz. Great timing right before Christmas.
It is a great point that many temps or contractors get hired into jobs that way. We just had a temp come in and do a fantastic job and hired her last Monday.
Love the blog keep up the good work.
Congratulations, especially right at the Holidays.
You are right too, this is an excelent way to get in the door at a lot of companies. We just hired a great lady that came in as a temp and is now just joined full time.
That's great! :) No reason not to continue looking, but having a paycheck and work is excellent! :)
