Job Hunting Success - Jennie

My wife Jennie completed a short course recently to become a nurse's assistant. After getting her certificate, she revised her resume and began looking intently for employment in that field.

She spotted one of her former classmates at the Job Center, who mentioned that she'd recently been hired by a nearby nursing home/assisted-living facility, and she urged Jennie to apply.

Jennie applied two weeks ago and received a rejection letter by mail this past Monday. Coincidentally, this past Monday another woman from the same facility called to ask Jennie to come in for an interview, which they scheduled for this afternoon.

Jennie wasn't really expecting much from the meeting based on her recent experience with the organization. My mom and I encouraged her to give her best anyway and to simply be herself.

Four hours later Jennie returned home with a very encouraging story about her meeting with the nurse. Aside from taking care of some logistical things, Jennie got the job! Whoo Hoo!
