I recently graduated from university in June 2011, feeling excited and ready to start my new life. I thought the possibilities for me would be endless. However, this was not the case. Unfortunately the way the media and the news dipicts the opportunties for young people are in a very negative light, particualry for graduates. Every time I wantched the news or talked to somebody about finding a job I would only ever here the same thing. “It’s going to be difficult”, “It’s so hard for graduates to find jobs”, “Everyone has a degree now, and there is so much competition”.

After constantly hearing all the negativity, unconsciously I began to believe that this was true, that it would be hard for me to find a job, so you can guess what happend? I couldn’t find a job. I struggled and stuggled, and I would apply for jobs never really believing that I would be selected.

In December 2011 was a low point, I managed to find a sales assistant job for minimum wage, but it was not what I wanted to do. I never thought that I would work in retail and all the time I would think about how I was over qualified for the job and never gave gratitude towards it. It was at this point that my friend told me about The Secret!

Straight away I watched the film as I had to see for myself what it was all about, and it suddenely became clear to me that I was the reason for my downfall. I read The Secret book and The Power and things started to become clearer for me. I stopped watching the news, and I stopped listening to negative people. I started to give gratitude towards the job I had and soon started to enjoy working in retail and realised I wanted a manangement job in a cool trendy clothes store that were offering amazing graduate schemes.

Here’s how The Secret worked for me. I had already applied for this particular job in the days when I was feeling negative and never really believed in my heart I would get a job. So I had already been rejected from the company once. My boyfriend just happened to work for the company and even told me himself that it wasnt likely I would be right for the job, but I knew in my heart that this time it would be different. I wanted it so badly and knew I would get it.

It is now May 2012 and after having 2 interviews when usually it is 4, and having a very long wait, the Distict Manager of the company phoned me yesterday to tell me how happy he was that he was offering me the job as a Manager in Training!!! I asked, believed and I received!!!!!

To all of you who are stuggling to find or job, or stuggling with lifes problems. Have no fear. The Secet is here!
