A New Start

I'm starting over. I've deleted all of my old posts because I'm starting new.

For the last 3 years I've been in a state of professional instability. There were lay offs left and right and I've been waiting for it to finally happen to me. The company I work for sold my division to a new company that is a branch of another major company and we knew not everyone would make it. Around October I found out I'm not going to the new company but instead they want a few of us to stay to work on a specific product. Many of knew that meant we wouldn't have jobs at some point so I began the job search.

On February 27th the call came that I will be part of the "resource action" meaning you wont have a job soon. My last day will be April 30. The hardest part in all of this is asking for help because I don't do so well with that but I had to suck it up and go to my parents and explain what happened. I really felt like a failure. My mom said, "Monique its ok. If you need to move back home just let us know." After that we found out the house my roommates and I were renting is being sold and they were giving us until May 1st which was about 61 days. I'm going to be 29 next month and I'm moving back home to stay with my parents until I have a job.

A week after I got the notice I found the perfect job which I applied for and even had an interview last week. I was so nervous and I still am. I was told they would notify us of their decision in a few weeks as they had other people to interview. I'm trying to remain positive and keep the faith. I am a Christian and I'm waiting like I was told to and I have faith that God will bring me through this without a problem.
