1. So I had been job hunting for over a year.
Walking up and down my state!2. I had become a prayer warrior.
Going to church 4 times a week.3. My mother had been running from pillar to post trying to help me get a job.
Like a headless chicken!4. All those uncles that said “call me when you graduate” were nowhere to be found.
They had all disappeared. Professionals in the art of promise and fail!5. I applied everywhere, to places I was qualified and otherwise.
Something will fall in place!6. I even ran for election.
And lost, woefully!7. That’s how all of a sudden I got a phone call inviting me for an interview.
PRAIIISEEEE GOD!8. I first did my special celebration dance.
As a Michael Jackson apprentice!9. Then I started preparing for my interview.
Fail to plan is plan to fail!10. I first spent 30 minutes ironing just the collar of my shirt.
Carefully!11. Then another one hour ironing the remaining part.
I must shine.12. I went over my CV and cover letter again.
Cannot miss anything before they think I’m a fraud!13. Then went to sleep early so that I can be refreshed and renewed for my interview the next day.
Beautiful sleep for a beautiful me!14. The next day I woke up early and made plans to to the office 2 hours before my interview.
The early bird gets the worm!15. Before I left my mother made me a nice cup of tea and prayed for me.
Sweet mother!
