I thought I was done posting until after Christmas but we have some good news. After 48 applications (only 2 jobs posted) my stepdaughter was called yesterday for an interview and got a part-time job! Woohoo! She moved in with us on October 10th. She started looking for a job the end of October. It was difficult at times to keep her spirit up but we taught her how to not lose hope even when it feels hopeless, as eventually hard work and resolve will get you through. She starts on Saturday. A very nice Christmas present indeed.
May all your dreams be answered this Christmas!
That's great news! Tell her congratulations! My daughter started taking commissions online a few days ago and has had 5 so far. OMG, she's actually making money! Woo hoo!! Let's hope 2015 is a prosperous year for us all. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is so talented, I am not surprised. I agree - to a prosperous 2015!
DeleteThat is great news. I bet she was feeling discouraged having to wait so long.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
She was getting discouraged - needs to get out and make some of her own money!
DeleteGood news indeed. Adds to her resume too. Happy Christmas.

Thanks Joy - you too!
DeleteWonderful! Your post gives me hope :) Hope the rest of your Christmas holiday is just as positive!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane - yes, one cannot give up hope. Things can change in a heartbeat.
DeleteCongrats to her -- and good for you! It is very tough when you are looking and those around you aren't helping with your mind set.
ReplyDeleteLets just say we were all relieved. I am tired of her looking for work too lol.
DeleteWhat a thrill for your stepdaughter and for you, her cheering section. An early Christmas present in the form of a job. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThanks Terra - you too!
DeleteCongratulations to your step daughter. There is always a job out there for those willing to work at it. You have taught her well.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you all!

Thanks Ruth! I really think she has an idea now how hard it is sometimes to get work - something a kid who grew up in Alberta had absolutely no understanding of as there is so much work there
DeleteThat's so great. It's hard for young people when they can't find work. That is a huge problem in Powell River. - Margy
ReplyDeleteMy neighbor is now working in Alberta construction and flying back every 3 weeks. Last year he worked in Powell River and commuted to work from here. Hopefully things get better soon for everyone in BC
DeleteHow wonderful! Congratulations to her. What a great way to head into the New Year!
ReplyDeleteIt really was a nice surprise!
DeleteCongrats to daughter!!!!! Yay!!! That really was a great gift.
ReplyDeleteAnd in case, I don't make it back, happy New year and may all of your wishes come true in 2015. Mine consist of alcohol and gambling.
I am not a great gambler but with you on the first one lol:)
DeleteWell done to your daughter, I like good news.
