Well today is the day I am quitting the job I have held all school year. It's a call center job. Basically, I work part time hours, make pretty good money but the work itself is very grueling and hard. I've gotten used to being yelled at, sworn at, hearing horrible TMI stories about people's lives, and laughing with people as we have a fun conversation; all via phone. But I've learned a lot at this job. I've learned how to effectively talk on the phone with a complete stranger. I've learned how to handle different work place situations. I am definitely grateful to my wonderful bosses who took the time to help me keep this job while I've been attending school. There have been good and bad times and I am very grateful for all of them.
The reason I am writing about this is because I was able to get this job through the promptings of the Holy Ghost. At the beginning of June, last summer, I knew I needed to get a job that paid well but also had flexible hours. I had worked in sales before and wanted to work something similar to it. My plan was to go every business in my hometown and fill out applications. But instead, I felt prompted to get online and check out jobs on KSL. I found this company, emailed an application and was called in for an interview three days later. I got the job on the spot and have worked with this company for almost a year now.
Another way I have been blessed was that the company allowed me to take my work to school. It is very hard to get a job in the town where I attend school because it is a small town and there are a lot of students all vying for the same positions. But, this whole year, I have been blessed with a job that provides valuable work training, enough pay to buy food and gas, a flexible schedule and patient bosses and trainers.
I know that if we are doing and being what our Heavenly Father would have us do and be, and if it is his will, he will give us the blessings and the circumstances we need. I needed a job and I got one that fit with my schedule. I also prayed about when and how to quit this job so I could have sufficient time to study for finals and move out of my apartment. I felt a reassurance that it is time to quit and pursue a different course of employment. I am grateful for the power of prayer and the promise that the Lord will bless us when we are doing our best to follow him.
