As the Job World Turns....

When planning to leave for California, EVERYTHING seemed to be working out in our favor!

1.) When we found out we would be leaving in two weeks for our internship, we needed a renter for our condo while we were gone. The next day a lady pulls up in her car while I was outside cleaning out my trunk and asked me if I knew of any condos that were being rented... She was heaven sent! I informed her that ours was being rented out and to come in and take a look at it. She LOVED it and signed a lease the next day

2.) I had to give my job a 1 week notice and I was so nervous that they were going to be mad. My boss was so great about it and was excited for our adventure!

3.) We were able to get ALL of our stuff moved out of our condo very quick with TONS of help from our wonderful families, neighbors, ward members, friends.

*************************

When we came home in January, we were prepared for the reality that we would not have jobs and our condo was still being rented out. I guess you could say we are... Homeless and jobless!

But not really the homeless part because we are living with my cute parents in their basement.

We have been home for almost two months and we are still without jobs. It seems as though our luck has changed a bit ... I spend most of my day everyday applying for jobs and getting my resume out there. Whenever I talk to someone from Human Resources about a particular position they inform me that I am running against 300 other people for the same position.

I went to an interview for a Legal Assistant position and the man interviewing me said that there are people with their masters and even attorneys applying for this position.

I will admit it has been very frustrating, especially since I got my Bachelor's to prevent this sort of situation from happening. All we can do now is to stay positive and have faith that everything will work out in its own time.... Its not always my time or the way I want it to be.

Life is full of ups and downs and you have to go through the hard times to appreciate when things come easier! We have so much to be happy and thankful for. We have amazing parents and sisters. We are blessed with,who we consider, the world's bestest friends!

As the job world turns...

Hopefull it starts turning our way!! :)
