Praise Report: Update to the following prayer request from a couple of weeks ago.
So after the disappointment of the job cancellation, I continued my job search going on several interviews with no luck. The interview requests were slowly trickling in and I was really beginning to get worried.
A recruiter contacted me about a similar position with the same company where the position was cancelled. We discussed my background and she felt that I would be a great fit for the role and wanted to submit me to the hiring manager. Before ending the conversation, I mentioned to her that I had interviewed for a similar role with the same company through another agency and that the position was cancelled.
Two days later, the account manager from the agency called me and said that he had spoken to the hiring manager for the "cancelled" position and that she wants to offer me the job and that I didn't have to interview again. I was shocked, confused and ecstatic.
He said that the agency that I had dealt with was not a preferred vendor and tried to apply to be a vendor with the company but was denied. In hindsight, I think they were trying to subcontract my position but it must have fallen through with the company they were trying to subcontract through. They told me that another agency would be reaching out to me to process my paperwork and not to mention them.
So since that didn't work out, they tried to apply to be a preferred vendor but was denied. So they lied to me and told me that the hiring manager decided not to bring anyone on at that time.
Well I accepted the position on a Monday, all of my paperwork was processed by Wednesday and I started the following Monday. When I started, of course my new manager and I discussed what happened.
She told me that the agency was asking her for all of these requirements, etc. Things that were out of the norm. So she then stopped hearing from the agency and decided to call HR and that's when she found out about their status. They had not followed up with her or anything, just stopped communicating with her.
She then went through another agency and interviewed another candidate. She hired him, but for some reason, it didn't pan out (Look at God!). And here I come beboping along..
It has been a long journey, but I'm here now (1 week) and I know that with the chain of events that happened that it was only Him.
He wants me there for a reason.
The job that I have to do will require a huge undertaking and will stretch me out of my comfort zone. I am nervous but relying on His strength and guidance to steer me through.
Thank you ladies for your prayers.
Sorry so long!
