Life Bliss

 I got so worried again because of the employment status, because of the uncertainty of it, because it will affect my other plans, because the hiring manager says there is no rush (he's nice though, praying he really is a nice person). Then I googled, read reddit. So gloomy but there are posts which are professional enough to refute and give the right justification why some have a hard time finding a full time job.  I got the background check results. They're all good except that my government number does not match with what's on record. Good thing the recruitment person called so I asked about it. She said not to worry much about it and just wait for the advise of HR.  I messaged the hiring manager about it but he did not respond right away. I thought that's the very reason why Recruitment called but it's to inform me that the background check has arrived. I said I got it and told her my concern to which she replied what I mentioned above.  The Hiring Manager messa...

 I had my doctor's appointment early this morning. I am thankful that all are good. Let me just be thankful for that. Health is wealth. I have a pap smear schedule and ENT. Let me trust the doctor God gave me. Let me also do my part to stay healthy and fit. Health is wealth indeed! :)  I just want to be grateful. Let me just follow where God leads me. I pray and I know in my heart God is leading me.  Thank You, God. :) 

 Getting closer.  Yesterday I did the AI interview and I was thinking I could have answered better. I reviewed one whole day for it, and some more the following morning until I got a call from the recruiter to get on it asap so they can process me already. She said like for me it's different since the hiring managers already vouched for me. It's short of saying the AI interview will just be a formality. In any case until this morning I was wondering if I will move forward. But then I need to just keep calm and let it go. God paved the way for me to come this far, not just to come this far. I will get this.  Today I got a call from the Supervisor or Manager (I honestly didn't get his name) and emails from the company I've been in touch with about my application. He said they will move forward to offering me the position. He even gave me his direct line but of course I didn't write it. Huhu.  I checked my email and I got 3 emails from the company. I will ask though...

I got a text message for the other position I was referred to by the panel interviewers. It was about the AI interview. Of course, the overthinker me browsed on how it goes since I encountered about it in the application process. Today I checked how it will the questions will be for the position. I was a bit afraid because I don't know specifics. I will practice tomorrow, the whole day if needed. But I will also call the panel interviewers (the hiring managers) if it's the same interview I had with them so that they know I was asked to have that AI interview. I am hoping they will tell me they will ask the recruiter to do away with it since I was already interviewed. In case I still have to undergo that AI interview, I am praying hard that I pass it.  I am letting, letting God. God made me come this far in this processing, I will pass this one. It's  a part time job but the per hour rate is very decent. I will pray every day that I rise in my position once I get accepted....

 I received the application by invitation today for a higher position from what I originally applied for and was interviewed for. This is part-time though and shifting. But that is fine. I have to start somewhere. I am kind anxious coz I was thinking I am a shoo-in since the hiring managers requested for me specifically. In the new application, there is an AI interview but I am hoping I will not have to undergo through that.  I don't want to get ahead of myself but I am praying I get in, my schedule gets aligned with my husband's and my father's so I have a transportation. And that I can hear them well, I can hack the job.  This is a good career path I believe.  But I'll stop from here. I will let God lead the way. If  it's mine, God will make me great and work my way up here. :)  I claim it. Thank You, God. :) 

 The call I got from the company I applied for where I was interviewed called me on Saturday morning while I was with my Mom doing some groceries. I cancelled the call twice I think because it was labeled as spam risk. Great that I answered the third time. Oh my! I was so happy. Though the offer was on-call but I'll take it. I have to start somewhere. And I love it that she said the interviewers have only good words for me and it would be slipping a chance to let me go. I got an email right away about the conversation. I emailed back a while ago asking for a brief description of the role and that I am grateful to be considered.  After this I will prepare the things I need to present to my career coach.  I am both excited and nervous. That is why I am praying for guidance and self-confidence. And that I can clearly hear them and answer them correctly. Thank You, God, for this opportunities.  I am praying that good opportunities come to my daughter also. And that she a...

Yes, there are a lot of things to be thankful for. I will choose this mindset over my disappointment.  Let me just get this over with. I checked my application for the hotel I want to be a part of because I know that job, I like the interviewers, I like the work schedule, and I love the place. When I checked the application portal, it got me confused because it has two updates. One was inactive, submitted on an earlier date, not selected. The other one was what I saw the past days, active, under review, submitted on a later date. I also got an email about it. I was interviewed on May 5. It's been 11 days so I opted to follow-up on my interview. Let's see how this will go.  In any case, I choose to be faithful with God's provisions through the years. Until now. Until forever.  Let me be patient, just trusting God. Of course I will have a job here that will propel my financial standing.  I am thankful, words are not enough, I am so thankful because health is wealth. 1....

 I was supposed to make the title of this post, "Waiting", but even if I am waiting, I would like to say I am keeping the faith. I applied again yesterday to an HR Generalist position. It caught my attention because it says in the job title, bilingual - Tagalog. Wow! It's like it's for me. So I applied.  It's 4:35 PM now. I don't think I can receive any job offer or invitation at this point because New York, New York is only till 4 PM. I am guessing so is Speed Commerce, the one I applied to yesterday.  Dear God, I just want to be excited and I am. I am letting go of fears, worries, doubts. I just want to focus on the blessings You continuously give me and my family. I pray for my daughter. Please give her opportunities, God. My heart aches for her. But prayer works wonder. I know You have great things for me and my daughter and my husband. I entrust everything to You, God. Twice I chanced upon this quote in a span of a few minutes,  "Trust me...Prayers w...

 It just occurred to me now to go back to my daily gratitude entries. Because why not? Things are not perfect now and I have tons to do but there are a lot to be thankful about. I want to highlight them, focus on them.  I surrender to God. I don't want to live in fear, doubt and worries. I prayed, and am continuously praying. There is no point to fear, to worry, to doubt. Let me just trust in God with all my heart and soul.  I got a rejection letter from RRMS but that's fine. I am praying for a job offer from New York, New York where I was interviewed as Workforce Management Clerk. If it's mine and will grow there, God will give it to me. :)  And what do you know, I got emails from Upwardly Global about the career coach assigned to me (or to our group I suppose). I welcome that. I need someone who will guide me how to navigate my career here.  Finally did my cologuard and submitted to UPS.  I am getting used to checking out my own groceries. :)  Thankf...

 I thought the one I was talking to was the interviewer from the organization I have applied. It turned our another hard sell insurance. I hope I did not give much of my personal details. I blocked the number.  So I had a phone interview with the organization I applied. I can't get right away some of her questions because of her accent and because there are times I have difficulty in hearing. But she's kind enough to repeat. I just hope I answered well.  I got a text from a retail store, pays low, part time, but I am still thinking of attending the interview just so I am exposed to how interviews go around here. I am so waiting for the organization I was interviewed at yesterday. I am claiming it, dear God! :)   

I was ranting about my daughter in my last post. As expected, we good! :)  The other day I had a discussion with my father about our house in the Philippines. I looked dumb because he says one thing to me, and says one thing to other people. But I don't want to dwell on that.  I choose my peace. And I am letting go. I will still support my father, that's why I am here. But I will stand back. I will take care of our lot but will not insist on anything. I am moving forward. My husband and I will build our own.  I will also let go of any prejudice to anyone. I will continue to pray for this. I'm letting go, letting God.  Let me mind my life.  I prepared almost the whole day for my interview today. I pray to God, I pass. I am so thankful that the interview went well. And guess what? God truly guided me because just a few minutes, maybe less than ten minutes, before my interview, I enabled the captions in my Teams, and I had the time to Google if the audience can see...

 Hay. I don't know what to do anymore with my daughter. She told me last night she was anxious to do her task today. Her task is to meet with our churchmate and her husband to pack all that we need to get from our house and transport to the unit. I told her I will call her so she can prepare on time.  Since I was busy organizing my things, I was not able to call her by 6:30am, but she messaged first saying give her five minutes. It's way past five minutes so I called her. But maybe it took 20 or so minutes before she finally messaged back.  I was pissed. So I let her be the one to communicate with our churchmate to adjust the time. She was able to do it. I ordered for her breakfast coz I want her to move it already. Not taking her sweet time. Geez, the world will not wait on her.  Add the fact that the organization I asked her to apply seemed to have closed their job ad already. It took her days to send me the cover letter. Hay.  I don't know if she really appli...
