Port Moody, BCA Mom who wants to be an inspiration to her two wonderful sons
I had been with the same company for about 20 years. In the last few years I had really not been happy in my job. There were a lot of changes that made me feel uncomfortable. I focused only on the good things and that really helped. I longed to work for a company that was family friendly and cared about their employees. In April, I got laid off for the summer with a call back date in September. I decided to use everything I learned from The Secret book and DVD, The Power and The Magic to make my wish come true. I packed up my uniforms and hid them in the back of my closet where I could not see them. I vowed that I would never have to wear them again! I packed up everything from my desk, like I was not coming back. I made a list of everything I wanted from a job. I visualized my interviews and me working for a great company, enjoying my work.
I got help with my resume and cover letter and started applying for jobs. Problem was, I was scared to get another job beause I had not arranged for childcare for my children and really wanted to enjoy the opportunity to be with my children in the summer. I had booked lots of fun activities, camping etc. If I had got a job soon after my lay off, I would have had to cancel all my summer plans. So I put off looking for a while. In July, I decided to check out Craigslist. I found a job that intersted me and applied for it. A few days later, I received a phone call for an interview. The woman I spoke to was terrific and clearly understood my childcare issues and arranged an interview in the evening so my husband could watch my children. This really proved to me that the organization was family friendly. The interview went very well and I could feel that this was the kind of company I want to work for. Everyone in the office seemed friendly, happy and fun! When I found out that they were calling my references, I was so grateful. Grateful to have some wonderful friends that I trusted would give excellent references for me. I got called for another interview with the general manager, which went very well as well. I got the job and I was able to start after my summer vacation!
This was a huge success for me, and I promised myself that I would share it to inspire others. I hope it does. I can see that when I focus on what I want and am grateful for what I have, everything I need and more is being received!
Thank you to Rhonda and here team, you have changed my life for the better, forever.
