So a few things have happened in the past few weeks some bad and some good. After having a really good phone interview with GIECO I was turned down for that position. But the recruiter said that I was definitely qualified for the job and that if it were up to him he would have hired me. That was really hard to hear that rejection after feeling so good about it but I was reminded that Heavenly Father's wisdom is infinite and that these events are not the mere productions of chance ( see Joseph Smith manual page 39 starting with the second paragraph, I received an impression to open up to this exact page and paragraph while praying one night, I was amazed to say the very least). So I got up and am continuing on this journey knowing that I am not alone in this and that things are happening the way they should be.
Then something good happened a few days later. I heard back from a company, AMICA Insurance. The recruiter set up a phone interview with me but I had the thought I should ask about there being a time difference between us but did not. I called for our interview at the time setup and nothing, nobody answered. I left messages and called back the next day, nothing. After the weekend I called again and found out she was out of the office till Thursday but if I needed to get a hold of someone to call this other person, so I did and got another interview set up with her. Come to find out they are in Rhode Island and I was not told or I did not follow the impression I had to ask about the time difference. Lesson learned!
The interview went well and I just heard back from her yesterday and they are moving me to the next step in the hiring process. Also I have been invited to attend a three day insurance claims conference in Seattle in two weeks. This is pretty awesome. They are asked to bring 4 college students to the conference and asked if I would want to go. Usually they only bring current students but they want to bring me!! Plus I went to a career fair a few days ago in Seattle and have an interview next Tuesday with EFinancial in Bellevue, Wa. Things are happening but slowly. So slowly that if I get the job with AMICA I wouldn't start till September! But nonetheless we are being blessed and watched over. Lesson learned!
And then from out of the blue....
