[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are your husband's main skills and what kind of work environment does he naturally desire?[/quote]

+1 OP just wants to complain about their spouse but not give details that would allow people to give advice.  I call troll.

If you read my OP youd know I came here looking to hear from those who have been in my situation and hear how it went for them, find support from then etc. I got a lot of great suggestions and am not looking for sprcific job search advice for my husband. [/quote]

Somebody here might interview and hire him ... But solving the problem isn't really desired.[/quote]

Yeah, OP, I think the job search is EVERYTHING.  That and why he isnt interviewing well.  Is he sloppy, bad hair cut, shoes, shirt, needs interview coaching, etc.  It's time for all hands on deck[/quote]

Good morning, OP! I'm the PP who has BTDT, pretended to be strong for DH and cried in the car. The advice this PP gives is practical and very good. Granted, easier to do at the beginning than when you're deep into the money drain. But still. I actually pushed DH into getting Botox. We also spent the money on good interviewing clothes, shoes. Made sure he had a good haircut, eyebrows not crazy, ear hair, nose hair all trimmed. (It's amazing how little things like that can really detract.) Shallow, sure, but all so that he would present younger and energetic.

If you don't have the money for a coach, then set up a camera and do pretend interviews showing only him. I know in some management training courses they do this so the person can see their own little tics. Fiddle with hair. Moving hands. Whatever it is. This might help your DH to see if he is coming across as sloppy or depressed or low even just low energy.

Maybe with some proactive steps, you both can feel a little more hopeful.

I hope you feel better this morning![/quote]
