New Job.
Submitted by: Sarah Scarce
St Austell, UKI have a wonderful husband and we rent a beautiful house near the sea. We moved here two and a half years ago after losing my Mum.
I was struggling financially to commute to my place of work each week and I knew that the business was not able to afford to give me a pay raise to cover the rising cost of fuel. I was giving serious consideration to changing jobs, which I did not really want to do as I loved the role I was in.
I was told by the MD on a Thursday afternoon that my role was being made redundant. Whilst upsetting news, I half expected the news as the company was struggling a little and this was the push that I needed to find something closer to home. I’m not sure why but I had 100% faith that I would find something within a few weeks.
I started sending my CV out the following day and on the following Monday I had several phone calls to meet people for interviews over the course of the week. One of them was on a Thursday which was coincidentally three years to the day that my Mum had passed away.
For that particular interview, I purposely took time to pick my favorite outfit and apply my favorite makeup colors to match my outfit as out of all the interviews that I was attending, this one ticked a lot of the boxes for me. It did so despite it being for a role that I did not have that much experience in and certainly an industry that I had no experience in. The hiring manager was so impressed with my CV and what I could do that she offered me the job right there and then. She admitted that she could see my potential for the role and that I was the perfect fit for what she was looking for. She completely understood that I was just waiting for my redundancy to be finalized in a day or two. So I started the new job within two weeks of being told that I was being made redundant. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I am convinced that my Mum was looking down on me guiding me through this process and she had a hand in guiding me to the perfect job. Thank you for her and thank you for The Secret.
