She worked two jobs and hated it. She never got enough sleep and felt stressed out constantly.
Then one day, someone told her about their job and he whole world changed; the loved what they did. Loved the people they worked with. Loved their boss. Loved their coworkers.
And best of all, it sounded like a job that Molly would be really, really good at.
Was this company hiring? she asked.
Her friend said that they were, and told Molly to e-mail her a resume.
So Molly did just that and a few days later, she got a call.
Can you come in for and interview? the person on the other end asked.
During her interview, Molly thought about working in this office. She thought about the people who might be her coworkers and what her job would be like and what her days would be filled with.
The number one thing about this job that appealed to Molly: it would be making the world a better place.
She had always wanted to make the world a better place, somehow.
Can you see yourself working here? they asked.
Yes. Yes she could.
Then there was another interview.
And a job-shadow.
And a third interview.
Throughout this experience, Molly learned more about the job- how it would help people and make their lives infinitely better. How there was a high need for communication and interaction with others on this particular occupation.
Molly liked that.
The people in the office were nice, friendly, and had good senses of humor.
Molly liked that, too.
So when they offered her a job, Molly of course said yes.
She was very excited.
She couldn't think of another job she'd rather have.
And it didn't hurt that they were paying her more than both her other jobs combined.
Molly adored her job.
It was the happiest she'd ever been.
Until yesterday.
Her boss called Molly into her office.
We have to let someone go.
We're not making enough money to pay the whole staff.
You were the last one hired.
We're sorry.
*Poof*
There went Molly's awesome job.
And her awesome paycheck.
And her awesome ability to help others.
So the question is....
Where do I go from here.
Because I'm not sure.
How does this story end?
