Hey everyone! 🌟 So, guess what? Today I received **two job offers**! It’s surreal because now I’m going to be earning more while working less than the colleague who was behind my firing in the first place. Can you believe that? 😅
Let’s rewind a bit. Until today, I had been unemployed for around a month and a half. A lot of that time was spent intentionally taking a mental health break. 🤔 Stress from the job search can really take a toll, especially with so many **scammers** and false job postings out there. I didn’t want to invest my energy in something that would leave me feeling disappointed. But I finally decided it was time to dive back in and hustle.
I submitted four applications to medical offices looking for a full-time receptionist/front desk supervisor role. Here’s how it unfolded:
- The first company didn’t even take a peek at my resume. 😞
- The second company ghosted me after reaching out to set up an interview. Ouch!
- But then came the third and fourth offices, which both wanted to meet me. Talk about a **relief**! 🙌
After interviewing on Wednesday and Thursday, my inbox lit up this morning with **job offers**! I was able to negotiate a better salary with my top choice, and the schedule is pretty sweet—7:30 to 4:30. Now I actually have time for **life** in the afternoons! 🕒
For those of you still in the job hunting trenches, don’t lose hope! It can be tough, but your opportunity is out there! ⚡ Also, for anyone who’s been let go because of a coworker? Sometimes, it’s a blessing in disguise. I’ve heard that the woman who got me fired is now overwhelmed with the workload of three people. Serves her right for meddling! 😏
Here are a few quick **tips** that I believe helped me secure those offers:
- Research the Company: I looked into the staff and history of the companies I applied to. Mentioning personal touches can make you memorable! 🕵️♀️
- Get Recommendations: I asked for letters of recommendation from my previous bosses before applying, setting the stage for glowing references. 😄
- Ask Questions: I made sure to inquire about company culture and other factors in the interview. This showed my interest and engagement! 💬
- Be Polite: A simple “hello” or “thank you” can leave a lasting impression on everyone you encounter. 🤝
I genuinely wish everyone the best on their journeys! It’s tough out there, but good things are coming. 💖 What are your own tips or experiences with the job search? Let’s share and support one another!
Good luck – sounds amazing!
Congratulations- I hope I can land something soon too. I want to get back into data management and I’m almost 4 months unemployed.
