Yesterday a recruiter found my old resume on some career site and cold called me/ texted and I got to do something fantastic…I got to turn HIM down. I had nearly forgotten what self-respect and dignity feel like and how we take them for granted so this brought things right into focus for me.
You see, just a little over a year ago I was unemployed, depressed, injured and down on my luck. Life fucking sucked and some days I just wanted it to end.
I put dozens of resumes out and had a bunch of companies waste my time, reject or ignore me until out of the blue the best job i've ever had dropped in my lap thanks to an old work friend (keep those contacts. folks!)
My first full year+ at the new job is done and i've never been happier. I'm respected and have a high degree of personal freedom in my work. I couldn't have asked for more and it is more than I could have imagined back in those dark days.
TO THOSE STRUGGLING- KEEP FIGHTING AND NEVER GIVE UP BECAUSE YOU ARE A HUMAN BEING AND YOU HAVE VALUE. IT GETS BETTER, I PROMISE.
