Turning Multiple NO's into your best YES!

As a young adult journeying through life we often stumble through numerous careers, just to find the perfect one. Throughout the stumbling we have to go through the strenuous process of interviews. It could just be me, but when it comes to interviews I have the absolute worse anxiety. Three years ago my main goal was to secure a full time position for stability. Within those years I lived in two different states trying to find the perfect fit, but still until this day I don’t feel as if I’m following what the Lord has mapped out for my life.

Throughout my numerous interviewing process I began to gain more knowledge. The interviews I thought I nailed, ended up not working in my favor. I took note of areas for improvements and began working on those. I knew what to expect so I began to prepare myself for each interview. I went in the next interview prepared and just knew I walked out a victor, but I didn’t. I started to think, “Well is something really wrong with me? Or is it my resume that needs to be doctored up?”

It got to a point where, when I would receive the notification from the organization I looked for the keyword “UNFORTUNATELY”. My eyes and brain has now been trained for the worst outcome. Well, “Unfortunately” I am here to say the multiple NO’s has provided me fuel to get to my best YES! I have revamped my resume and the way I articulate throughout my interviews. I have taken classes that will make myself look more profitable to the companies as well. You see, it took the NO’s for me to finally realize, that vacancy was not for me. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and that something far more GREATER than that vacancy has my name ALL over it.  Stay encouraged and never feel as if something is wrong with you. Just move forward and create a better you so that there is no reason for them to say NO!
