Economy is hitting hard in the "finding a job" portion of my life

Well, the job at Shell is very unlikely to happen now with the economy...or so I was told today when talking to the lady at the staffing agency.

She is just continually told to keep sending resumes...but they aren't responding to anyone's resumes.

She does, however, have another position in mind for me. It is working at a small shipping company. They deal with pipe and flanges...so industrial stuff. I have to do some excel training first...so have the weekend to do that. And then she will send my resume off to them. they are located on the north east end of the city so the drive wouldn't be bad...and the salary they are talking about is in the vicinity of what I am looking to get.
