Mark's Interviews- The Results

About 3 weeks ago Mark had 2 interviews with law firms in Salt Lake City.  The first firm said they thought it would be about a week until they made a decision.  Over 2 weeks went by and still no word.  Mark sent an email to follow-up... still no word.  We figured that maybe they chose someone else and were waiting for them to accept before rejecting Mark, or they could have just not invited him for a second interview and they're still in the process.  Either way, they should at least let him know what's up!  :(  We're not terribly hopeful for that position.

The second interview, the one we really wanted at Holland and Hart, had a more interesting conclusion.  Mark had one of his contacts follow-up with them and then if he hadn't heard, then Mark was going to send an email to follow-up himself.  A couple days ago we got word that Holland and Hart was bringing on a new partner from another firm, and he was insisting on bringing in 3 associates that he had been working with.  So, the position that Mark was applying for ended up not needing to be filled.  Instead of hiring 1 new associate, they added 1 partner and 3 associates.  *sigh*  I guess it's just not Mark's turn yet.

Thank you for your prayers and support through this whole ordeal.  Mark continues to look for a better job.  At least we're not worse off than we were before the interviews.  He's not out of a job, but he would certainly like an opportunity to get a job that is worth his talents.  I truly believe that Mark would be an asset to any firm he chooses to work for, but someone needs to just give him a chance.  We continue to pray that he will find something...and that we can have the strength to accept God's will in this matter.
