6. You find out that the "salary package + health benefits" for your "perfect job" consist of "Love Offerings" and some Band-Aids.
5. The search committee asks if you'd be willing to accept a salary cut in order to pay for their tickets to see the local NASCAR race.
4. One position involves you signing an affidavit insisting that you've "never struggled with worry, doubt, confusion or disagreeing with your spouse.?
3. When you call to follow up on your resume, the church secretary hangs up on you. After swearing at you.
2. You and your family might be able to make the salary package work if the government repeals the child labor laws.
1. The head elder says "We?ll pitch the parsonage for you as soon as we can find some stakes."
Any thoughts? Maybe one that you'd like to add to the list? Just click on 'comments' below to share with the world.
A special thanks to MMI reader Robert Brooks who sent this my way. I thought it was very funny: 10. Average time between sending in application and receiving rejection notice: 5-7 minutes. 9. On eight different job search websites there’s a picture of you with the caption “Don’t bother applying.” 8. You keep getting responses rejecting you for the position but encouraging you to apply for “Pastor of Folding Bulletins.”

I am a “young pastor” (still in my 20’s) with 2 masters degrees a Doctor of Ministry degree and 7 years of full-time Senior Pastor experience. As of today, I have sent out 63 resumes and have been rejected (or just ignored) by these churches simply because of my age.
I certainly can identify with the older men who feel they are being disqualified because of their age. However, I’m just on the opposite end of the spectrum.
It is frustrating, but I know that every closed door is simply God’s way of guiding us into His open one.
