Update 2 – GOD IS FAITHFUL

Jump to Comments

Just to back track a little, the Sunday after I met with Dept A (see Update 1) I really felt broken and wrote down a novella prayer request for my pastor and his team so that the various politics and issues and potential movement out of my current department at work could be brought before the Lord on an even bigger scale.

Sometimes, quantity really does help!  And, even better when that quantity is QUALITY….which was the case here.

So back to Wednesday.  Dept B calls me up and asks to talk to me about a job.  Example 1 of God’s faithfulness: I was too intimidated to apply for this position in the first place, and he called me.

Thursday brings about my meeting/informal interview.

Example 2 of God’s faithfulness: First words are “This would be an excellent move for you.  You come highly recommended and are very well known in this building.”  Editors note: I have no idea how I did not fall off my chair when he said that.

Thus ensued about 30 minutes of me being just wowed by the favor I was being shown by someone who essentially acted as if the job was mine to lose.

Example 3 of God’s faithfulness: My current manager saw me in the meeting/interview but did not ask questions so I was allowed to control how the potential application process was “shared.”

Example 4 of God’s faithfulness: I was too intimidated to apply for this position in the first place, and he asked me to officially apply.

Thursday afternoon, I applied for the position.  By Friday afternoon, Recruiting had contacted me to set up TWO more interviews – for Tuesday morning and afternoon respectively.

Example 5 of God’s faithfulness: The interviewees are both incredible women that I already looked up to and who were just amazing and totally put me at ease.  It was the 2nd greatest interview experience ever – the first being my “information session” with the hiring manager that prior Thursday.

I had a debrief session with the recruiter immediately after.  The process is usually you are pre-screened with the recruiter first but this entire process was completely backwards because of how I had been recommended by the hiring manager of Dept A.

Example 6 of God’s faithfulness: I knew within less than 24 hours after my interview that I HAD BEEN OFFERED THE POSITION OF ACCOUNTANT II!!!!

God’s timing is absolutely perfect, and this is such an amazing example of that.  Late last summer, I almost applied for an accountant I position in a completely different department.  I would have been unhappy, with less salary.

I’m now a part of an incredible department that has a wonderful reputation for caring about their partners and being committed to not only excellent work, but creating and promoting excellent partners.

Example SeventyBillion of God’s faithfulness: I was hired for my potential, not just my current level of experience and my new manager is completely committed to skyrocketing my career as far as I want to take it.

God has given me this gift and I cannot wait to do absolutely everything about this role so that it brings glory to HIM WHO IS FAITHFUL.

And, I could not believe more that this all came about because of the people who have been praying for me over the last few weeks.  God heard and more than answered your prayers.  I feel so incredibly blessed by you all!!!
