I had been searching for a full-time job for more than a year. I had been at an all-time low last year when my job search was not fruitful. I attended many interviews only to be told that someone else has been selected for the job. There were several near misses.

This is about the time when I watched The Secret and The Greatest Secret videos and was inspired to think positively. I also started writing about what I am grateful for. Things started changing and I landed a part-time job. Something was a lot better than nothing.

Then I also started doing the welcoming practice. My fears were dissolving. Recently, I was offered a full-time job and a salary meeting my expected salary. But it was a verbal offer. I was told some formalities need to be completed and then it would take 2 weeks to process. But after a week and a half, I was contacted by the employment agency to be told that the project that I was hired for had ceased and they have stopped the hiring process.

I was not disappointed, instead, I thought about the reason this could have happened. After I was verbally offered the job, I started having doubts about whether I could fulfill the job responsibilities properly. My fears had overtaken me and I had forgotten the welcoming practice.

I then restarted my applications and very recently, I was offered a new job. The pay is lower than my expected salary but after more than a year of job searching, this is something decent.

I am so very thankful! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!!
