One of my friends was laid off from the company she worked for earlier this year, and because she lives in a pretty remote area, she’s been unable to find any local jobs. She commuted about an hour each way for her last job and she was ready to do the same thing again. She was turned down for a job that would have required she travel 1 1/2 hours each way daily, plus they felt she was over-qualified. I told her I was sure that something would come along- and wouldn’t you know that yesterday she got a call and was hired not a half hour from her home. She starts next week. I hope this job is everything she’s ever wanted and then some. I’m VERY excited for her and can’t wait to hear all about her first day. She kept a positive attitude the entire time she was job hunting and I’m sure that contributed to her finding exactly what she was looking for.

From experience I know the longer one travels and the longer one’s work day PLUS travel is, the more exhausted physically and emotionally one becomes. I am delighted that by staying positive and not giving up your friend walked into exactly what she was looking for. “Delays are not denials.” Sometimes we need to wait.
