The Job Hunt

I’m not going to lie to you friends….job hunting has not been a fun process.

In fact it has not even been a mediocre process. It has been an unfun process. Is unfun a word, NO! At least not according to the angry red squiggly line under it telling me I have a misspelled word. But unfun just seems like the most appropriate phrase for this job hunting process.

I have put in countless resumes to all sorts of random jobs hoping to hear back from someone. When I say random….I do mean random. I applied anywhere from a receptionist at a senior living facility to a store manager of a Five Below (a local chain that sells everything for $5 or less) to even being in a medical billing office.

Anything I thought I was slightly qualified for, they got a resume from this girl.

I have taken countless personality tests, timed math tests, typing tests, and Microsoft capability tests. Let me tell you, unless you are a genius which I am not those tests make you feel pretty discouraged about what you’re bringing to the table ha ha.

This was a great time though that the Lord used to open my eyes to the fact that my identity is not in my job. My identity is not in the fact that I wear dress pants to work at a hoity toity office. My identity is not in the pay check that I bring home. My identity is in Christ. Which is something that will never change unlike a job. My identity in Christ is the truest and best thing about me. I am His daughter that He chose to die for that I may live eternally with Him. What a great truth!

While it was great to be reminded of that truth, I am also thankful that this unfun job hunting process looks like it just might be coming to an end!

I had an interview downtown on Tuesday with a temp agency. I was a bit nervous going to down town Cleveland…it is definitely a bit larger and taller than Louisville’s downtown area. I find myself in my little black business dress with my pink polka dotted folder going up an elevator to the 18^th floor yup 18^th and that was not even the top of the building! But the interview went beyond well and hopefully after a second interview Monday I will be a receptionist at a financial firm.

Your prayers would be beyond appreciated! I will of course keep my awesome blog followers updated!
