My Job Hunt
I want to share my story of how God showed his miracle to find a job for me.
I started working in Singapore for a small technology-based company as a sales administrator with low pay (which I secured with the help of God after completing my studies). I worked in the company for close to 3 years, but I couldn’t find any career or financial growth, so I decided to find a new job.
I informed my boss that I had to start searching for new jobs as there was no progress. He agreed to me because I held a Master’s degree and felt that I had greater potential. My boss was kind enough to tell me not to tender my resignation, but I could start searching for a new job.
I searched for a job for close to 4 months and attended many interviews but couldn’t secure any offer. I was so frustrated and started to lose hope. Losing hope in myself, I started to trust in God and started to pray.
Since I am with the same company and couldn’t find a job, my boss approached me and said that he is unable to afford me any longer as he has already hired replacement staff for me and requested me to give him a specific date of resignation/my last day of work.
As days passed, I started to build pressure as I have a new timeline now (End Oct). For the last month, even though I have applied for multiple jobs, I didn’t get any chance for an interview. On Oct 28, 2010 (2 days before my deadline), I got an interview call from a MNC that asked me whether I could come down for an interview on Oct 29 I said
“Yes.”
On Oct 29, 10 am attended the interview and I was confused about how it went. I came back to my office and started to pack my stuff as it was my last day of work in that company. By 3 pm, one of my colleagues had invited me for coffee as a farewell and while I was having coffee with him my phone rang… To my surprise, the company I interviewed with that morning would like to hire me. I was speechless and I thanked God for the wonderful gift.
Moral: Keep faith in God, he knows the best. He will provide you with things at the right moment if you keep faith in him.
