My dream job!
Submitted by: Erin S
Shreveport, LAI graduated from college with my bachelors degree in psychology and found that it was more difficult than I had imagined getting a job in the psychology field without a masters degree. I was working at a car dealership to make ends meet until I found something, but I was very unhappy and was barely making ends meet.
I stumbled upon The Power one day on my lunch break and thought I needed some inspiration, so I purchased it and read it. I had read The Secret but had gotten discouraged before it really had a chance to do me any good. I decided this time I was going to stick it out and it was going to work.
I began to be more positive and took time to decide what I really wanted. I had applied for a job in the child welfare department over a month ago and had forgotten about it because I never heard anything from them. This was my dream job and my income would almost double, so I checked the status of my application and to my surprise I had been put on the eligible list! I decided that there was still a chance and this job was going to be mine! I sent myself an email about the job wanting me to come in for an interview. I wrote my name and new title over and over and over again. I told all my friends and family I was going to have my dream job.
I waited and waited but heard nothing. I called to try to speak with someone in human resources to see if the position had been filled and it hadnt! The secretary took my name and number and told me she would have the lady I needed to speak with call me back because she was in a meeting.
Later that day I received a phone call asking me to come in for an interview. The next week I was called and offered the job! I am now working at my dream job, doing what I love, using my degree and making more money than I ever thought possible at twenty-two. I am so grateful for The Secret and The Power because they truly have changed my life!
