My job hunt

I had just returned from one of my numerous job hunts. The out and frustrated, I made my way to the kitchen. It was practically empty. And the thought of going back to Kathy and Josephine to ask them to lend me some money was mortifying. To think that I would have to go through those lectures about taking my life in my own hands and all that tutorial about using what I have to get all that I need, including happiness, made me panic.

Since I graduated nearly three years ago, I had wandered from one organisation to another in search of a job. I had actually lost count of all the places my application had reached. At first, I had been very selective but when I discovered that getting a job was harder than I had thought, I started to apply even to those places I had earlier considered as being out of bounds. Yet, nothing happened.

In the beginning, my family was very supportive. They encouraged me to keep the faith that God Will Make a way soon. However, as they were helpless themselves, they could do nothing to help me with the job issue. Still, they never ceased to pray for and counsel me when necessary. After sometime however, I decided to leave home. I was tired of being a burden to anyone and I just had to find a way to chart the course of my life even if it means doing it without them.

Unfortunately, since I couldn't think of any other means of raising money, I had to keep going back to the only friends I knew could be of help. But they were not as unfriendly as I had feared. They gave me whatever I requested. To further heighten my surprise, on one of the occasions that I visited them, Josephine informed me that an arrangement has been made for me to see the general manager of one insurance company the next day. I could not believe my ears. I thank them profusely and left with high hopes. All the way home, I couldn't stop musing on how fortunate I was to be blessed with such wonderful friends. I could hardly wait for the morning.

Just as I got out of bed the next morning, Josephine called and asked me to dress 'properly' . I understood exactly what that meant and it made me a little uncomfortable. But I shrugged off every thought that would make me change my mind against going for this one. Josephine said it was an appointment to see the general manager of an insurance company. There couldn't be anything wrong with that. Besides, the ladies had been very nice to me. I was sure they meant no harm at all. With that encouragement I left the house....
