Job Status
Wow, it's been a long time since last time I wrote...again. I guess I just have been so busy. A lot's happened since last time I wrote. I'm feeling better. The enemy definitely is trying to take a hold over me but I've got the victory in the Lord. It ain't gonna happen lol! I've been just learning to praise Him anyway through all the mess that may happen. Why? Because He's still God and He's still good. My circumstances don't change that and never will. Things are looking a little better in my life. Not because things have changed but because God is changing me. He's helping me to deal with things and to adapt to things. Also, He's been providing for me.
I've been looking for a job since I graduated from school in May and have been doing mostly freelance work. I did the temp agency thing and did the part-time job search thing in retail places. For some reason, though, nobody would hire me from regular retail stores. I don't know why. I applied EVERYWHERE. Let me tell you, everywhere...from Stop & Shop to Crate & Barrel. Everywhere. Meantime I've been applying to "real" jobs too. I had my eye on this graphic design job at IKEA for awhile because I LOVE Ikea and their products. It's just a fun store and I love interior decorating so it seemed perfect. There was a job at the one in Brooklyn, NY I had my eye on because they're opening one there in May 2008. I kept applying to jobs and even jobs out of state. Mostly, I got emails saying that I didn't qualify for the job, but I said "oh well"...there will be other better jobs out there. For some reason, a lot of places I applied in the DC area didn't want to openly, directly ask me for an interview. They'd beat around the bush and say "well, are you going to be in the area? If so, you can stop in for an interview". What kinda stuff is that? They didn't want to directly ask me for an interview, which lets me think they didn't want me there anyway. I just didn't feel really confident in those places.
But today I got an email from IKEA Atlanta saying that they want me to come in for an interview. I was so excited because I forgot I had even applied there lol! I mean, I've been applying everywhere! I felt like she really wanted me there too, because she asked me directly if I wanted to interview with them. Also, because she said she was impressed with my resume. I'm just so excited. I'm going to claim this job because this job would be so hot! I'm claiming it in the name of Jesus because that job will be mine!
