The Journey, Part 6

If someone would have told me that I would have a job by September 26th, I would never have had to panic. But I did! It was September 8th and I was beginning to feel a little insignificant. I had several interviews all resulting with the same resounding, "Well we liked you, but...NO!"

I had a sit down with Sarah and her parents to vent my frustrations. I concluded that the problem was that I do indeed have something to offer a company, but I just didn't have any relationships in the Nebraska area to speak of at the time. I love talking with my parents because we are able to get down to the truth of what's happening in life, fairly quickly I might add. We ended our conversation with prayer.

By Friday the 9th, the whole world was different. I actually had 2 interviews the very next day. One of the interviewers actually made an offer on the spot. I also had two urgent voice mails from my friends at Alltel as well. Conincidence? I think not. This was the working of divine providence. So upon reviewing the messages, I returned Alltel's call. They wanted an interview that next Monday! Then, on Tuesday, I received another offer from another company!

In the matter of 2 days I had 2 job offers and a third interview with the company for which I really wanted to work in the first place!

To make a long story longer...on Thursday morning I had an offer from Alltel! So I accepted it! I finally have a job! I start September 26th and we're moving from Kearney to Lincoln, Nebraska very soon!

The journey has now been escalated to another level! Onward!

Walt-

Congrats- hope the new job turns out to be all you hope--- I don't think Altel has any clue what a quality individual they have the honor to have on their team... time will give you the chance to show that you- with The Holy Spirit- are more than anyone alone... Persue excellence!

My job is pretty good...we have set schedules so that is really nice...however, they just took away my friday nights, so now all i work is wed night, all day Saturday and sun morning...wed nights are a come and go as far as money, and sun mornings are a guaranteed walk-away-with-5-bucks day...so i actually depend pretty heavily on my sat shifts to make my money. and thats no fun cuz its usually a crazy/busy day and it wears me out nicely...but hopefully i can pick up frid night shifts and sundays will start to get better...besides that though i still really like the place. its really laid back with a younger staff so that makes it fun...so, we'll see...
I love you guys and miss you like you dont even know! my phone is still not working believe it or not and i have no idea when my dad will get it fixed...hopefully soon cuz this girl is going crazy without it!
