I have been actively looking for 2 months for a new job after being laid off in May without notice and have received a job offer! And not just one, I received 2 offers on the same day! I realize many have been looking longer but 2 months felt like forever to me! I was sending out at least 2 applications or resumes every single day since I was laid off, some days I even sent out 6! I was really starting to feel down about myself and like there had to be something wrong with me as I was getting calls for interviews and told that I was a perfect fit and exactly what they were looking for, but then I wouldn't hear from them again. Some applications/resumes weren't even acknowledged as having been received!

For those who are still looking and/or are having problems finding a job, don't give up! I almost did despite doing my best to remember to trust in God's plan and look what happened! If I can end up with 2 companies competing to hire me, you can too! DON'T GIVE UP!!!! Keep applying, make follow-up calls, send follow-up emails, even send a hand written Thank You note to the employer after an interview. It really does help!

I also wanted to thank everyone here for your support and encouragement during this process! I'm not sure I could have made it through without knowing there were otters like me out there, going through the same thing!
