Fall feasts and job hunting

12 w

I'm still looking for work and the Fall Feasts are coming up. I am a little concerned that if I am offered a job at this time, that they might be turned off if I say that I have to keep the Fall feasts so soon after starting. Should I continue looking at this time or post-phone it until after the Fall Feast days are over?

Personally if they value you and your work they will value that you have a previous commitment. If you find something great, if not what harm was done? Think of it more you are interviewing them instead of the other way around, YHVH will take care of them.

It happens all the time. Just tell them your start date is after the festivals. If you get interviews starting this week, unless they want to hire on the spot, it should take a couple weeks anyhow. I've hired people who have things scheduled before and just worked around it.

I agree. Keep searching. People start jobs after prior commitments all the time. It will also be a good indicator if its a worthy employer.

Favoritism breeds jealousy and bitterness, which become the seeds of even greater destruction. To a certain extent, favoritism is inevitable. Parents have favorite children, children have favorite parents, and a polygynous man is almost certain to have a favorite wife. It's just human nature.

That in itself wouldn't be a serious problem except it usually becomes the basis of sin, neglect, or abuse. The firstborn son of a free wife must be considered the firstborn of his father, regardless of how the man feels about that son's mother.

We are prone to poor decisions based on emotion rather than reason and spiritual insight. Torah moderates our weaknesses. If we follow God's laws no matter how we might feel, we are very unlikely to go wrong.
