work it  FINALLY GOT A LEGIT JOB. After weeks (and months) of stressful job search & me being picky with potential employers (I know right, shouldn't it be the other way round) & throwing in the towel (giving up) & taking naps. I actually got called up. For 2 different offers in 2 different reputable organisations. During one of those naps. It's quite amazing how I landed this job. You know how people tend to say that "God intervened"? Yeah, it felt like that ..and I assure you that it isn't as cliche as it sound. 4 months back, I actually went for an interview with a tech startup and they set my hopes really high but then they left me hanging. After that, my confidence level plummeted and I was just so disappointed that I kinda gave up searching for a couple of weeks. When I did return to my job search, I applied for a job with a property developer and I was so excited to start working there because the office was really nice and I had a great conversation with the manager although I was just recovering from a flu and my throat was inflamed. By then, only family knew about this interview as I just didn't want to spread the news and then jinx myself. They thought I was the most suitable candidate for the job and they will call me in "a few days", but I waited for a week and there was no news and when I emailed them, they told me to wait some more. Refusing to receive false hope (like the first interview), I applied for yet another job. This time, for some reason, I sent in my resume even when I knew that it was an ad from a recruitment agency (I usually refuse to send my resume to 3rd parties). I got a call early next morning (as expected from a recruitment office haha) and then they told me WHERE I was applying for... So a few weeks back, Angelica and I were eating Honey Butter Chip after church and I pointed to a particular building to Angelica, Mich: Do you think we'll be able to have a building like that in 20 years? Apparently I, unknowingly, applied for a job with a company that owned that particular building I pointed to Angelica. I attended an interview with the company and I received good news the very next day. I was hired. On the day I had to sign the employment contract, the property developer office actually called me to say that I was hired, too, but I just felt like "God intervened" and the other job was the one for me. After experiencing all these feelings over the past 6 months, I was really humbled by how God works - in mysterious ways. It was such an eye opener for me and I just have no words. I also thank God for my friends who were praying and also getting excited with me. Love, Peace & Back to work! MICHTASHIA |
