I haven ’ t seen you in a while . How have you been ?   Things are going fairly well . How about you ?   Well , I ’ m hanging in there , but I lost my job and need to find another one quickly .   I am looking for a job myself . What were you thinking of doing next ?   I am just trying to find something that will pay the bills until this bad economy passes by .   Have you gotten any interviews yet ?   No , I haven ’ t been out on one interview yet .   Have you thought about the electrician program over there ?
