I believe wholeheartedly in the theory that everything happens for a reason and that you are always right where you are supposed to be. Fate. Destiny. Karma. I believe that I am ultimately in control of my actions and decisions, however, I also rely very heavily on my gut instinct. I've found that the more I pay attention to that gut feeling, the more I'm able to tell what action or decision is the right one for me. It hasn't let me down yet, as far as I can tell.
When I lost/left my job at the end of July, I was absolutely devastated. I was also hopeful and optimistic. The universe had a different plan for me and I had to find out what that was. I was lucky that the IT skills I have are in enough of a demand that there were many businesses looking for someone like me. For two months, I put in applications at every company that appealed to me. I would have been happy with any of them, I'm sure, but my real "whale" was Precision Castparts. The culture of manufacturing is in my blood so I was drawn to it. And, after three interviews over a month's time, that's the job I took.
I couldn't be happier. I knew I would come out of this in a positive light, but I didn't expect this. How random is it that they just happened to be looking for a Network Admin at the same time I was unemployed? It might have been random. Or it might have been my destiny. Everything happens for a reason. Believe it.
