Day 6 Novena to find Work


Take heart.  There's a better world in store for you.  It is only the malice of God's enemies that is preventing you from having a worthwhile vocation.  Believe that God holds you secure in His hands; He loves you; He wants what's best for you.  Never lose hope.

                                         Day Six

Work is prayer
We're doing all we can.  Our network is doing all it can.  Maybe it's time to call in a "head hunter."  A head hunter is a recruiter.  Companies go to them to find workers.  You don't have to pay them.  However, there are some that the job seeker has to pay.

There's something called a Riley's Guide to help you find a recruiter.  The Riley Guide has a list of free directories of recruiting firms you can use to locate a recruiter to work with.  

Yesterday, we talked about networking.  We specifically mentioned Linkedin.  Some head hunters search network sites like Linkedin for candidates.  That's why networking is so important.  How can I head hunter find you if you haven't put yourself out there?

At the end of the day, say a prayer to St. Anthony to find you a job.  And it wouldn't hurt to pray to St. Jude, patron of desperate cases.  Of course, close with the prayer, below.

Prayer
Through the intercession of St. Joseph I ask for work that will bring me close to You, My Lord.  I pray that the work be enough to provide for those who depend on me.  I only ask to serve You, Lord, and to feel secure in Your Love.  

Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
