It has been more than 2 weeks since I got laid off from my job at a web design/development agency. I had to start over and job searching became my career thus far. I updated my resume and cover letter to prepare for applying for jobs. At first, I was sad about the situation. But it truly was for the best. I have been growing my skills, so I do feel more confident while applying and interviewing for jobs.
I was lucky because when I got laid off, I went home applied for jobs, and went on vacation for a week, which was very relaxing and helped take my mind off things for the time being. But being on vacation did not stop me from applying for jobs, of course. I had help from my whole family assisting me in writing cover letters and applying for jobs. It really is all about networking.
This past week, I went to a career fair downtown. After that, I went back on my LinkedIn game and searching for hiring companies that I had met at the career fair. I have been busy. I had some interviews, I feel confident and grateful for those opportunities that have led me to this point in my life.
Being laid off sucks, but I would rather happen now then later when I have a family to support. I thank God for the choices he has made in my life because....
Be thankful for your life, no matter what troubles or problems come your way. If God brings you to it, he will get you through it! Stay strong. Have a great ending to your week! <3
