dh has a job "audition" on friday!

it's with Kaplan test prep center here in town. $20-$28 per hour, so really good for a second/nights/weekends sort of job. they call the interviews "auditions." he has to prepare a 5 min class on a non-academic subject.

dh took the GMAT, MCAT, and LSAT before he went to law school and scored above the 95th %tile on all. and he got a perfect score on the math part of the SAT in high school, as did his 2 brothers. he's the absolute perfect person to teach these test prep classes.

i'm SO excited that he applied. i sent him a link (go me!) on email, he applied online the next day, and then got a call about an hour after he sent his app through saying they wanted him to "audition" on friday. woo hoo!

gives me hope that we're going to be ok financially. i need more hope oh about...i'd say...every 4 days or so. lol.

Cool, I hope it works out for you guys. I was offered an audition several months ago as well. I ended up skipping it though since the distance to the center basically killed any chance of income.

My dh worked for Kaplan through grad school and it helped him a ton financially. He was able to take on as much work as he wanted.

So glad something is looking up for you.

thanks for everyone's thoughts. it's at 4 today. they said to bring a resume, which was on a now dead computer. we had all of the stuff on the old computer put on this new one, but he couldn't find the resume anywhere. so...good thing it's at 4. he'll be writing a resume today (couldn't find a hard copy anywhere either).
