UPDATE FROM THE MEETING...

So dad went to that interview/orientation meeting for the Salt Lake Police Department last night. He came home and told us that the group he is in was one of the biggest. They started with over 100 (can't remember the exact number).

Anyhow there were individuals who for one reason or another dropped out so now they have the numbers down to 86. As people left since he was sitting in the back or towards the back he then moved up closer to the front.

Since he did that (at least that is how i understood it)- He is one of the lucky ones who get's a actual interview. They are interviewing Next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday! His interview is July 2, 2009 (Thursday).

They are and will be doing the background checks and dad predicts that as a result of that more people will "drop out!" either because something on their background check will come back that is unfavorable or applicants will just decide themselves they do not want to go any further in the application process. Who knows!

The position will actually be in the records department and the interview will be conducted by a panel of people and there will only be 3 Questions!! He has to be there about 10-15 minutes before and they give him the 3 Questions to see and he can study them., He will also be taking a 1 minute type test.

They are not looking for speed - just accuracy!!!

If he get's this job the probation period is 6 months and he would work 2 months on day shift, 2 months on swing shift, and 2 months on graveyards. And then his "permanent shift" will be set from there.

There is about 86 applicants and about 6 positions... So we really would appreciate all your prayers and thoughts in his behalf and ours as a family! and the prayers that he will be successful in this application process and ultimately get this job!

We really need all of your prayers!!! and HELP with that. We as a family would appreciate it. I have a feeling DAD really wants and hopes to get this job and so do we.

Some other benefits of this job and "benefits!" DAD is real excited about are as follows:

Direct Deposit
Health and Dental Insurance from DAY 1
Sick Pay (Can't use for i think it was 6 months)
Annual Pay (Can't use for i think it was 6 months)
the pay starts at $11.97 a hour and you get shift differental if you work grave yards and swing shift.

and more...

Will keep you all posted!!!

TODAY IS THE DAY....

Well today is the day that my dad is going to that orientation meeting thing at the Salt Lake Police Department- for that dispatch position or security position he is applying for. And just to refresh people's memories about this job. All the applicants who apply are invited and required to come to this meeting and then after the meeting "thing"! Yeah i know i'm sorry i apparently am not sounding real intellegent at least not so much! anyhow after the meeting the people who will be invited for interviews their interviews will be set up for next week or the week after next.
We are keeping our fingers crossed and am hoping and praying that dad will at least be given a interview and the chance opportunity to do so and ultimately we are hoping and praying he get's this job. But, first things first! we at least want a interview!! so if all of you as our friends and family could keep dad and our family in your thoughts and prayers today and tonight we would so much appreciate it. I will post a update (i hope to) tonight or tomorrow!

Love to you all!
Heidi and The Richhart's!

Another Update...

This is Heidi... Just wanted to let you all have a update on How we are doing..
Dad applied for a Security (i believe) position/ or a position with the Salt Lake City Police Department. He got a letter today from them indicating that all applicants are required to attend a Orientation kind of meeting on June 25th, 2009. It is a meeting to give a overview and info on the department and position. They indicated that after the meeting Interviews will be set up - these interviews are to take place the following week. So of course that is good news and news in the right direction. Please keep your fingers crossed and continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers. If you all could keep my dad in your prayers that he will have a successful day at this meeting and that he will get a interview and things will continue to go well from there. And that hopefully they Like him and hopefully he get's this job! that would be great! We love you all! and would love if you all could pray for us all as a family and him as well and pray that he get's a job! that would be great.

Mini-Updates...

So just to update you all a little on what is going on with us and DAD (Eric) in his search for employment. Dad has submitted a resume and application with Summit County for a security/dispatch position. He recieved a letter last week from them confirming they had recieved his resume and they now need to forward all the applications to the Summit County Sherrif and then the qualified and selected applicants will be contacted for interviews.

He has also created a profile and either has or will be sending his resume and application to ATK (Alliant Tech). Other places he has sent resumes to are as follows:

UTA
Rescue Rooter
and others.

We appreciate all your love and support and prayers and ask that you continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers and help us with prayers till the time comes that Dad and or the rest of us (mom and i) get and find employment. And pray for us that we recieve all the blessings and everything we need and also recieve all the help we may need etc.
