Last week,I applied a job at Agylisys and I had a virtual initial interview last Monday. On a short notice, I was invited for a face to face interview last Friday after my shift I hurried to their office not far from my current work. The role is an office/sales administrator and I met Ben(the Managing Director) and Matt(the Senior Sales Director) both are in the Windsor, UK office. Both of them were so approachable in person, very warming and friendly and told me that they both were hoteliers back in the day. Honestly the interview was so smooth, relaxed and I never felt so much tension in the room. It was like a friendly chat.
Today, I received a message from Dan(who the Senior HR Director) telling me that I got the role and discussed about the offer! I was initially offered GBP30,000/annually but he told me over the phone that the offer is GBP38,000 and is not negotiable. Like hello? Do I need to negotiate about that? I was literally making GBP25,000 currently. That offer is not to be turned down.
Glory and praise to the King! The Lord heard my prayers! I knew it! This role is the best. I remember I had several failed applications and I literally cried about it. I remember I applied a job not too far from home, it’s literally 7 minutes walk away from home. I applied a Virtual personal assistant to Comxo last March and another one is at ArvatoConnect not too long ago. I literally borrowed Liz(my coworker) laptop and I failed the test. There were a lot, so much, I couldn’t count it with my fingers, hundreds of rejections but God gave me this role. Dan, told me there were literally 70 applicants for this role and the last time I went physically for an interview, the building receptionist was telling me, I was the only one who came for an interview and it gave me high hopes. And he was literally correct!
I was talking to my mum a while ago and told her about the good news. I was at the train on my way home and I felt tears on my eyes. I was telling her that this new job is from God. He was preparing me for the best. He knows what’s best and His plans is far more better than mine. All I need to do is pray, believe and trust Him. Challenges like this need faith and patience. I was constantly applying new jobs since November of last year. This new role is a gift. So I need to make new adjustments, perseverance and dedication just like what I did on my first role here in the UK. Just when I am about to leave, nice comments were coming from different booking platforms. I was receiving a lot of good mentions from guests. I totally understand what hospitality now. Being sincere, genuine and understanding to guests. That’s what guests love. And faking smiles! Hahahaha!
I also thank my current role for this is how I got the new role. I am going to work for a software company for hospitality businesses. I need to have a clear mind, focus and dedication. God will never leave me. May God give me wisdom to broaden my knowledge and learning through these years.
These verse from Isaiah is just a proof that when you always cling to God and trust the Lord, not to your own understanding He will be gracious. He will always provide all your needs. He always knows what’s best for us. He is a living proof that all good things come if you invite goodness and openness. Being kind to yourself. Lifting all your worries to the Lord and be compassionate.
God bless us all.
