Dream Job Got Real.
Submitted by: Believer
United StatesI am a Software Engineering professional working in the US. I have been blessed with a wonderful family and a beautiful life. My day does not start without thanking God for all the great things I have been able to enjoy in life. I am highly influenced by The Secret and even as I write this letter, I am sending my wishes to the universe.
After 2 years of Maternity Leave, I started working to pursue my dream job. Initially it was quite challenging. It was becoming harder to explain to recruiters about my gap of 2 years. Let alone my dream job, people expressed their doubts about me even getting a job at all. But I was not convinced.
Whenever I felt low or demotivated, I would watch The Secret and start imagining my dream role including all the things I would see, like my office, my chair, pictures to hang, my computer, etc.
One day I came across a role that matched closely to my dream job on a job site. I noted down the recruiter’s name and imagined getting a call from him almost every day. I even practiced talking to him about my experience and what I would say when I would get the offer.
Months passed but I did not get a call from this recruiter. But coincidentally I joined the same firm for another role. It was not exactly what I had imagined, it was a temporary contractor’s role, but was a great opportunity. I was brought on board for a very high profile project and I performed extremely well and received several kudos. One day my boss called me and said he wanted to thank me for all the hard work I had done and that he had decided to make me full time. He also said that in a few minutes, I will get a call from the company recruiter to go over all the details.
Guess who called me after a few minutes?!
It was indeed the same recruiter I had practiced talking to several months ago!!!
This has been just one of several examples of how The Secret has become a part of me now.
