How The Secret helped me get my dream job
Submitted by: Kami
Dunedin, New ZealandOriginally from Brazil, I now live a very happy fulfilling life in New Zealand with my beautiful dog, an awesome boyfriend and I am about to start working in my career and it's all thanks to the Universe.
I first read The Secret in 2008 when I was living in Ireland. I have heard about the book many times but never had the chance to read it. One day passing by the book shop I noticed it was on sale so I decided to buy it. When I read it I couldnât believe it. I had lived my whole through the law of attraction, I just didnât know what was called or how it worked but looking back in my life I always got everything I wished for, good and bad. So reading the book at that time was important for me, as I was very unhappy in Ireland and wanted to move somewhere, just didnât know where, so I asked the Universe to show me the way and just like magic everything started to happen.
A friend suggested New Zealand and I started reading about the country and just fell in love with it. I knew I could come here and get a work visa and permanent residence through my profession and I did just that. My residence process took longer than I expected but I never gave up and always believed in the Law of Attraction and I knew that everything was going to be fine. I started settling down in the country. For many years I wanted to get a dog so I went and bought a puppy. Many people told me I was crazy to get a dog, not even knowing if I would be allowed to stay in the country and I always said that I knew I would get my residence.
Anyway I got it and I was thrilled when the lawyer called me in January 2011 to let me know, everything was perfect. I loved Christchurch and was very happy there with my permanent residence and my cute dog. My job at the time was struggling due to the earthquake the previous year and I started looking for another job. I said to the Universe show me the way to the job that will make me successful in my career. Then, things changed completely. In February 2011 a 6.3 magnitude earthquake hit Christchurch again, many lives were lost and I lost my job. The company just couldnât survive anymore after a second earthquake. I kept on believing that the Universe was preparing something special for me.
I couldnât find any jobs anymore in Christchurch so I had to move to Dunedin. I didnât want to at first but I knew something would come up from all this changes. I stayed with friends at first but in about a month I already had a very nice job. It wasnât in my profession but was a good safe job. But the Universe always knew that I wanted to work in my profession and I knew like I knew like I knew that it was on its way.
Life went on. I settled at the job, had time to learn how to drive and get my licence (which would later be a requirement for my new job), got a boyfriend and life was pretty settled. I knew that job wasnât what I wanted to do for the rest of my life but I wasnât really looking for anything else. Then things changed. My boss, who was a very nice man, left the company. A boss from another team took over and I just didnât get along with her at all. I started to resent going to work every day and I knew I had to act. I hired The Secret DVD and watched every day for a week; I then downloaded a copy on my iPhone and would listen to it at work every day several times a day.
In less than two weeks I saw a job advertised…not any job, THE job. It was the type of work I have been waiting for a long time. I had done this type of job many years ago back in my home country and always wanted to go back, so when I saw the ad I couldnât believe my eyes. I was shaking. I had tears in my eyes. I could only say how amazing the Law of Attraction was and how quickly it had manifested. I applied for the job. Two days later I got a call for the first round of interviews, the interview was great and I knew I would be called for the second round. Three days later they called. I would have the second interview in two days and I had to prepare a small project. I went to the second interview very confident and met the CEO and the board of directors and I nailed it. I knew they liked me and I was sure I got the job; at this point it was only me and another candidate.
But then the days started to pass they didnât call me when they said they would and when they did they advised they had chosen the other candidate, that was a very difficult decision but they decided to go with the other person. I could not believe what I was hearing how did that happen? I was perfect for the job. I liked the company, I knew they liked me. I was very upset. I cried, then I said you know what, the Universe knows the quickest, the most harmonious way to make my dream come true and if I didnât get this job itâs because a better opportunity will come along. I kept believing. I kept studying, reading, watching lectures on the subject and I even opened a Facebook page to talk to other like minded people about the same topic. I also decided it was time for me to enrol at University and study my masterâs degree, which was something I always wanted to do but it was never the right time.
So I contacted the head of department and next day went to meet him. He checked my documents, we had a good chat, and he said I could enrol in the program. I was very excited. On the way back to work I stopped at a Starbucks, bought a coffee and said to myself this is a celebratory coffee to thank the Universe for all the fantastic things that happened in my life. When I left Starbucks my phone rang – it was the CEO of the company I had interviewed for. He told me circumstances had changed and if I could call in the office for a chat. As I was in town I told him I could go immediately. Within a few minutes I was in the office. He told me the other person they offered couldnât accept as her boyfriend had been offered a job in Ireland and they were going to move there and asked me if I was still interested.
I said yes without a doubt but I told him I had just come back from University and would start my masters the following year, if they would be ok with me taking a few hours per week to attend the course and of course I would work extra hours to compensate. He said that wasnât a problem at all and was actually very happy I was going to develop my career even further. I signed the contract, gave notice to my current employer and I am about to start the new job in a week. Things happened in such a way that itâs unbelievable and inexplicable. I can only THANK the Universe for everything I have. I have a wonderful life and I am very grateful for it.
I decided to write my testimonial because when I was doubting the LOA and wanted to give up, I would come here and read all the amazing stories and be inspired to keep myself on the right track.
Thank you Universe and thank you all fellow believers for sharing your stories.
May the joy be with you.
