Still on this journey called "job hunt"... I was seriously considering making it a reality show.. lol... It's been a rough month but I know that something new is coming my way and it has... The Wheels of Time, means that it takes a lot of time and perseverance to make it through... Yes, times for me have been hard.. I have learned that I can do anything and that no matter what I am totally grateful for my health.. I am Blessed for knowing that no matter what happens GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF ME... My faith has been strengthened and I know now that I will make it... I have learned that those "friends" that I had when I had a job, no longer exist... They were all cool with me when I had a job.. Now that I don't and I'm eagerly looking they don't have time for me.. That's fine.. It's not called Spring Cleaning for nothing...Lmao...
To those of you, that are shared with me on this new journey and that are still struggling.. I have some tips for you...
1. If you have a smartphone, download the Craigslist App.. In it, you can search for jobs in your area and send out the resume via email.. (i have bombarded them with them), sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.. but keep pushing through.
2. Drive to the places that you want to work. The job that I landed is not in my field at all.. Learn to go out of your comfy zone.. Pound the Pavement.. The job isn't going to come to you.. You need to go for it!!!
3. Even if your resume is "overqualified" (which many of ours is), don't worry it will happen for you.. Don't feel bad when they tell you you are "overqualified".. It happens.. That just means that they don't want anyone with half a brain... lol..
4. Go to Church... I know that you might be thinking why church?? Why!! Because you need to thank GOD for giving you the strength to push through, to know that no matter how many No's you will be a lot closer to your YES... That you can cry and scream and shout and you will feel better.. He is listening.. You just need to get closer to him.. Always be Thankful.. No matter what...
5. At times you want to just disappear and go away... STOP for a moment and think about all that you have.. It might not be what you want, but you have what you need for now.. Cherish the times with family.. There are a lot of people out there with lots of money and they are still unhappy.. I know it's hard to think that way, especially when we are getting down on ourselves.. But we need to stand together and move forward..
6. Be Happy with Whom YOU ARE... Forget about what others think or say.. Unless they are paying all your bills and maintaining your lifestyle, they don't have a leg to stand on.. So, forget them... Look at all that you have to offer and always remember you have a purpose.. It just needs to be found.. and it will..
Yes the journey is hard but not unconquerable... xxoo
