For those who asked....
I responded to Liz's post...but figured I would a new post up for those who didn't read my response to LIz. I just copied and pasted....
The interview went swimmingly well so it seemed. He met with the interviewer, spoke with her for well over 45 minutes....then she brought down the supervisor for the day shift transporters who took him on a tour of the facility and kind of did an impromptu interview while they were walking and talking. He was told he would hear back in about a week.
Today, unfortunately, he got an email saying he was not being considered for the job.
The mood in my house is not pleasant. He is pretty beat up about this...I think he was really looking forward to this opportunity - and the job sounded like he would really like it as a stepping stone from what he told me after the interview.
Brian tends to shut down when stuff like this happens - and that's what he is doing now. I hope it doesn't go to far.
I am crushed for him and feel helpless myself...because there's absolutely nothing I can do to make him feel better. When I'm upset I tend to want to be cuddled and loved....and he likes to be left alone. So I am trying my best to do just that. I spent a good 1/2 hour just talking to him....telling him all good things about him...telling him how this economy sucks and he did everything right (which he DID do everything right) and then I said "what else can I do?" and he looked at me, kissed me, and said "just let me be"
So here I sit.....

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 
Pam-
I am sorry to hear that the job didn't come through for Brian. I hope that everything will work out soon and he will be offered something much bigger and better! All you can do is what you are doing--being loving and supportive and giving him what he needs. Big ((((hugs)))) to you both!

Pam,
I am so sorry that Brian did not get the job. You know it is the economy and not him but it is so hard to feel upbeat. I know because as you know I went thru this recently. I was scared, upset and took the layoff as being my fault. Give him time and space if he needs but keep encouraging him and loving him and being there for him. Brian is a good one hang on to him. Take care sweetie. If you need anything give me a holler.
**Hugs**

People comment on my over 100 pound weight loss and attribute it to my WILLpower, but it is my WANTpower: I WANT to be thin and healthy more than anything else!
I am sorry to hear that, Pam. My Steve has been job searching for ages and it's a constant struggle for him to stay positive. And for me to give him what he needs while not not forgetting my own needs. I understand what you're dealing with. Not hearing about a job is awful; hearing bad news when your hopes are up is even worse. Hang in there.

"The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become."
My husband had an interview there yesterday. He said it was more of a weeding out process for now and that they will call him back for a "real" interview if they are still interested in him and his qualifications. There are a LOT of jobs and I don't know if he requested something specific or told them that he would do anything they need (that's what I would have done to at least get in the door). We currently live very close to where they are going, so it would be a great place for him to get in.
Pam, I would definitely suggest it to Brian. There's a lot there and it's not too far from Easton. I'm not sure where you live, but it's pretty close to Liz's house if you go the Hellertown way.

They are hiring about 1,000 people for every imaginable position. If you apply online, you don't need to go in because they will just tell you that you have already filled it out. That's what happened to Kenny. He filled out an app online and then went over there. They told him he didn't need to come out. If he goes in person, the place is off of 412 near the RMA building.
