Hired! A little inspiration for my fellow nurses.

Published

Just yesterday I commented on someone's post about how I was beginning to feel a little dejected in my job search but I wasn't giving up. I prayed last night before bed, and when I woke up this morning, I got called for an interview! I had my interview at 12 and by 12:30 I was offered a job!!! It pays $24 an hour, and I'll be working full time afternoon shift!

I just want to let everyone that is still in the hunt know, do not give up! I know how stressful it can be. To be on your last leg, desperate for that phone call, for that interview, to get your foot in the door so that all of your troubles will start to go away. I know how it feels. But your blessing will come to you. I am a firm believer in God. I know everyone doesn't share the same beliefs and I am not forcing mine on anyone. But just know, everything is in divine order. What is meant for you, will definitely be yours. You might get a lot of 'No's' but your 'Yes' is on the way. I put in at least 40 applications over the past 4 weeks. I just knew someone would call. But day after day would pass, yet no calls. On Monday I called a particular facility and the receptionist informed me they were not hiring. But something pushed me to go in and fill out the application anyway. I filled out the mundane application (trust me, you fill out one app, you've filled out them all), left my resume and cover letter, and smiled graciously when I was told, 'We'll keep your application on file and if a need comes, we'll give you a call!'

Of Course you will, I thought to myself. So I continued in my search until Wednesday, and I decided to give myself a break. I prayed, a lot, and told God I was feeling low, but I'll keep working and be patient because I know He has something in store for me. And boy did He! 8:23 this morning I got the phone call that changed my life! And you know what, it will happen for you too. Just keep pushing. Fill out every application for every job that you are qualified for, even some that you think you may be! You'll be surprised at what comes your way! I am praying for all of you!

Thank you! No, I'm in Detroit, Michigan. Keep on searching, keep looking! Would you be open to traveling distances? Sometimes you have to venture a little outside of cities. Do no give up, you will find something definitely! I am praying for you!
