A new chapter

I woke up at 9am to the tune of Mariah's "We Belong Together" playing on my phone. It was a call from my agent, informing me that I was selected for the job that I went for the interview yesterday.

It took me some time to absorb it. After a period of trying, I finally came to this positive conclusion.

Three months of cold calls, development of character, patience testing and building up of communication skills will soon come. I believe this is an opportunity for me to train up for bigger things to come, and God bless me.

Lookin back at the interview yesterday, it was really amazing. I'm thankful that I wore shirt and pants, (altho jeans were supposed to be ok). Everyone else was dressed equally professionally! I was nervous while waiting for my turn, but I believe that God's comfort was upon me as I sat there.

I was also asked to elaborate on my previous job experiences, the good times and the bad. Was also asked on my opinions of a good telemarketer, and how confident I was of the company's product.

To which I related my experiences, and I sincerely told her that I favoured the company's product over searching for information over the Web.

When she ended by asking me if I had any questions, I asked her on what the company's product was (I realised she had not mentioned abt it). She told me:"I'm glad you asked", and proceeded to explain.

After twenty long minutes, she( the interviewer) drew a close by saving that she was "impressed by me". We had a super firm handshake after that, but I wasnt sure that I would land the job till the fateful call this morning.

Looking back, it amazes me that how God could really work in us. I came as a nervous and inexperienced interviewee, but somehow the words and the responses just flowed.

Praise God.

As I look towards the next three months, Thy will be done!

To all those who have prayed alongside with me, thank you so much!
