I have to say as much as this isn't a barrel of laughs and a ton of joy, I have learned a couple of lessons. I would say the experience has definitely humbled me. I thought hey I'm an Ole Miss business school grad, I held the title for being the youngest and fasted promoted manager for Pac Sun, I ran a successful staffing company before I was even 26 I though I was the man. Now I didn't expect to just move up to Charlotte and someone hand me a 100k job but I didn't expect to have to work to find a job. Then I started to apply for jobs... Wow Lets just say this cartoon sums a lot of it up.
Things are tough out there. I have been hitting all the usual job boards (hotjobs,monster,careerbuilder,indeed, and craigslist) I have also been using social networks like twitter, facebook and linked-In to help aid in my search. (Hopefully one of you reading this might even be able to help me out) Seems to be about 3-4 week turn around from submitting an application to getting any response back, which can be disappointing but that brings me to my 2nd lesson.
Faith. When I got saved last Nov. one of my biggest downfalls was that I was very "Let me do it" person. I wanted to do things the way I wanted to do them. Now I don't want you got get it confused and think I was a selfish person that wasn't the case at all. I meant it more in I felt the only person I could truly count on was myself. As a result I carried a lot of extra burdens and felt like I had to take on every little fight so that other people wouldn't have to. I felt like it was my job to make the world a better place and I was a one man army. Well one of the 1st things I heard after I got saved was that I was no longer alone, and that I had someone I could rely on to help shoulder my burdens all I had to do was have faith and a open heart. Just as in the past I know that God is there, and he knows exactly what is in store for me. Now this isn't my 1st time to move with out a job and not knowing exactly what lies ahead but I can tell you knowing that God is with me now makes it so more comforting.
Well I just wanted to write a quick little post about how things are going. I will just like always ask for a little participation. I would ask after your reading this ask yourself what is your relationship with Jesus like? If you don't know Jesus yet but would like to. Just give me a call I am still very much learning but I fill you in on my relationship with him. I would also ask if you know anyone in Charlotte why not try and hook a brotha up? Here is my Resume, help me get it out there. Anyways thanks to all you who have been praying and offering support it really means a lot. So i guess all that's left to say is "Remember help control the pet population and have your pet spayed or neutered"
