Take delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4
God has once again put me to shame by revealing his faithfulness to me. The words of my prayer in the past few weeks have been more of a complaint than anything else, whining about how I never seemed to get any of the jobs that I had interviewed for, how I was getting worried, blah, blah.
Then, just last week, I saw a job posting on an online portal which I had applied to before (that post had been open for a couple of months now, although being advertised by different agencies and even the company itself). I never got a reply and I knew this was for that same opening since the JD was the same. Somehow, I just had this urge to be thick-skinned and try again. The recruitment agency responsible for the ad called me back and for some reason I never mentioned to them that I had applied for this job before but never got selected.
A day later, as I'm going for another interview, I get a call from my ex-colleague. She asked me, 'Hey, you looking for a job huh? I know the Marketing Manager that you're reporting to lah!'. Apparently, the agency had given my CV to the respective Manager I was supposed to report to so she called up my ex-colleague to do a reference check since they knew each other for quite some time now.
On the day of the interview, they only asked me 3 questions - why I quit without a job, what kind of job am I looking for and when could I start work. I was stunned.
Strangely, I had applied for this same position a year ago after the hoopla at Silver Bird but I didn't get it, ending up with that post in YHS. After one whole year and a series of seemingly coincidental events, I end up here again.
Although I'm on a 2 month contract for now, I truly believe and have faith that if it's God's will for me to stay here, it will happen. All in his perfect timing, not mine.

Just like the song.
