I left a job that I loved after the premature birth of my son. I ended up getting a new job but after 6 months we re located and I put in my two weeks. I took that as an opportunity to get back in with the company I loved. I filled out several applications and was invited to several interviews but no one ever seemed to get back to me. I have always been the type of person to land a job on the spot even if I was not fully qualified. Needless to say, it was very discouraging to me to have several interviews but no offers. I had a total of 15 applications with this company in various positions/departments. This week I got an offer and it payed more than I expected! Persistence and patience definitely payed off. Never stop trying and never give up on what you desire.
