Brigette Hyacinth, Bestselling author, and an International Keynote Speaker on Leadership/Linked In
A while back I was having lunch at a food court. The woman in the table next to me gets a phone call and then starts to cry. She is trying hard to stop but there was no holding back those tears. I asked her if she was okay. She said she didn’t get the job. She has tried everything and everyone and it’s been over a year she has been unemployed. Then she says, “I am in this deep dark hole and I don’t see a way out, I am trying to get out but I don’t know how to.”
The continuous rejection she endured had beaten her down. I took the time to encourage her. Then I told her to send me her resume and I’ll see what I can do. I forwarded her resume to some of my colleagues. She got an interview, was offered a job and accepted. Last week she emailed me so thankful with an update on how this small gesture changed her life.
“We can’t help everyone. But everyone can help someone.”
Agree?
