Yes, imo God has and can change His mind. God is omniscient, but He has relented. An example is when David took the census and God sent a pestilence on Israel to destroy them because of the sin.(2 Samuel 24:16). It says that David sought mercy and the Lord repented (relented) and stopped the angel from destroying all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. God's decisions can sometimes be reversed when/if the hearts of men change. Its not that God is unknowing or indecisive, but that He is a living God who reacts to what we do and don't do. In Genesis 6:6, it says that it repented the Lord that He made man. This doesn't mean that God made a bad decision or changed His mind, but that He regretted the wickedness (sin) of man. God created men and women, but He did not create sin. Sin is something that emanates from us, so God regrets our actions, not His own.
Caredunn, I wouldn't base my career on a phone call. Remember that Gideon was responding to something God asked him to do, while your trying to decide something for yourself. Ask for guidance and the wisdom to make the best decision, but don't expect God to make it for you. Deep down, you probably already know? The Holy Spirit can give you a sense of direction, but the decision is yours. Good luck.

it's good that you are seeking Gods direction, i've found the first answer is the one thats better for me to follow. here is one time i wasn't sure what God wanted. some lady walked up to me and asked if i could do something for her as i was sitting on the porch. i didn't get a good feeling, so i said i need to check it out with God. i went into house and asked God, and the answer was no, not an audible no just the feeling. then i started thinking what is this lady going to think, what kind of christian is this guy, so i asked God again, this time i didn't feel an answer, so i thought it was ok, went out on porch and told the lady let me get my shoes on, as i was going to get my shoes, i was stopped in my tracks, this was to much, i told the lady i couldn't do it. What pleases people, doesn't always please God.
Maybe He wants you to make a few decisions? Seems you put too much "stock" in an "unringing phone" to me. Man up and "take a leap of faith!" Goodness........... 
Oh, as for the question in the title of the OP, well, yes, there are times God changed His mind. Consider the number of times He was on the brink of destroying all Israel, and because one or another of His servants begged Him not to (even though they surely deserved it), He changed His mind and allowed them to remain.
