Sharing some GOOD news

I've been searching for a new job for several months after being laid off late last year. While I was in the midst of my job search, my husband was in jeopardy of losing his job. This was causing both of us major stress since I was out of work and he was paying the majority of our bills including our insurance. Although, I was able to cover some expenses with my severance.

During the last four months, my husband only received half of his salary because he was moved from full time to part time. Going through this has reminded us to stay faithful that everything would work out.

Well, today I am happy to report that my husband's job is back to normal (salary and full time). As for me, I am still searching for a job but I am hopeful that I will be employed very soon.

Thanks for sharing your story! I hope that the right job will come along soon, and that the good news about your husbands job is just the beginning of all the good news you are going to share!

Thanks for sharing the good news! I'm so happy for you both...financial insecurity is one of the most stressful things to endure.

Congratulations and keep at the job search, chin up, it's not easy! My recommendation on job searching is to lead with networking - find out who you know or may be connected to who works for that organization who may be able to refer you or make an introduction for either an informational interview / coffee chat or for the role that you are applying for. Referrals go a long way to getting your resume / application reviewed.
Good luck!
