Life, they say, is all about timing. And lately, it seems like I've been dancing to the wrong rhythm (and I loveeee to dance to my own beat)
Back in August, I had the exciting opportunity to interview for a role with a #commercial real estate company in #Dallas. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances God saying (“not yet Sabrina”), I had to withdraw from the process -being professional. Despite this, I remained incredibly interested in the company through my research; I kept in touch with the recruiter, enthusiastic to learn about future openings.
Then… in mid-December, an email arrived from the recruiter. An interview request with the General Manager for the Assistant Real Estate Manager opportunity in Dallas was requested! My heart leaped! This was the opportunity I had been waiting for.
But... I missed it.
Lost in the sea of emails / SPAM, the message slipped through the cracks. I discovered it over a week later, a wave of disappointment washed over me guys. The role had already been filled I learned.
I was incredibly bummed. This was the second time a promising opportunity with this company had slipped through my fingers. It feels like a cruel twist of fate. :-/
But I'm not giving up. I'm determined to learn from this experience. This setback, while disheartening, highlights the importance of persistence and proactive email management.
To stay organized, I created a dedicated email account solely for my job search. This was a crucial step, this will help me centralize all my job-related communications and minimize missing important emails.
This experience underscores the importance of building and maintaining professional relationships. I will continue to network diligently, attend industry events; when opportune, and stay in touch with recruiters and other professionals in the field.
This setback, while disheartening, will not deter me. I will continue to polish my skills network diligently, and patiently await the right opportunity — I believe in God’s timing.
I'm confident that my dedication and perseverance will eventually lead me to the right path.
