I started a new job in Dec 2014 after 8 months out of work. I learned a lot about humility and stress during those 8 months. There were many tears and nights of restless sleep as I wondered if I would find a job again. 5 interviews in 8 months is all I had, despite putting out well over 100 applications. That really took a toll on my self esteem. Thankfully I had friends to help keep my spirits up and other activities to keep me busy.
The new job ended up being Security again but unlike anything I have ever worked before. I work for a Non Profit Medical Clinic 3 blocks from home. The atmosphere there is like nothing I have have ever experienced. A wonderful group of people that want to be there every day. I am learning about other cultures on a regular basis and making what I hope will be good friends with co-workers. Paid holidays and PTO are great benefits also, which I have not had before anywhere. Looking forward to learning much more as I progress in this this job.
