I was working at a high profile lobby law firm in 02-03 and got let go in my first 3 months. I was a nervous wreck because I never saw it coming and didn't understand why. So I searched for jobs for months not coming up with anything. Mind you I just got engaged and was putting $ aside for the wedding so that had to stop. I have had major problems with fibroids and needed to have surgery. I finally got some health insurance but still was looking for a job. I finally had to break down and decide to have the surgery because it seemed like the song God was trying to tell me something, I will not give you a job until you have the surgery. So I had my surgery in sept 03 and by the end of Oct I had a temp job working for the city in the pensions dept.
I got a permanent job at a computer company in May of 04 right as my time with the city ended but the place I really wanted to work called me about a job in their HR dept. On my first day at the new computer gig i find out that they are moving waaay out of my commute range (and was never told that they were moving). I got home, called the lady that called me about my dream place and told her I'm in. A month later I got the job and have been here ever since.
The kicker is had I not taken that temp job with the city pension dept, I would not have had the experience to get the job I have now! So i have learned sometimes not to ask "Why me Lord but to ask "Why not me?"
