Initially, I was confident that I would be able to secure a new job right after my break. Little did I know that it would be harder than I expected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the last three months of 2016, I went for many interviews was not successful, despite having a lot of work experience. I was discouraged. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Earlier this year, a headhunter arranged for me to go for several rounds of interviews with a foreign bank. After the final round, my headhunter informed me that I had secured the job and would be receiving the employment letter soon. However, to my disappointment, I was told a week later that the bank was reassessing their decision to hire me, and that the position was to be decided in a few weeks&rsquo; time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although I was very discouraged, my Cell Group and Men&rsquo;s Accountability Group encouraged me and prayed for my situation from the start. They told me not to give up but instead, to trust God for a miracle. They also reminded me that God would provide not according to my timing, but His. In my desperation I heard the Holy Spirit tell me that He would never forsake me, and will give me something better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As I waited for the bank to get back to me, I got an interview with a large corporate. The interview went smoothly despite me losing my voice on that day. The company offered me a large salary, without me asking for it. A week later, I got the job! Praise God for His timing and His divine provision. Jehovah Jireh!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Your Story. His Glory.
