My aunt and I *both* got full-time jobs within 24 hours of each other!

She lives in Colorado; I live in Michigan.

She's been without permanent full-time work for the last five years; I've been without it for three.

She has a master's degree; I have a lot of experience in my field.

During that time, we have worked part-time and temporary jobs. But despite our qualifications, we were both without permanent, full-time work.

Guess what?

On Thursday evening, I got a job offer!

On Friday morning, she got a job offer!



It's been such an ordeal, but there is hope!
