she was laid off over a year ago when the lawfirm closed.
From September (last year) until April she sent out over 200 resumes, had 8 interviews. There were two job offers from all of that - but fell through before she could start. One company had a sudden hiring freeze, and the other closed their doors.
In April she went to work through a temp agency. It was a six month position - no benefits. Originally this temp job was to end in mid-october, but they extended it to mid-December.
She continued to send out resumes to find something permanent and with benefits.
Three weeks ago, out of the blue, she receives two phone calls from two different employment placement agencies - she hadn't been in contact with either of them in months.
The first agency says they have a job opening, wants her to send them her updated resume - she sends it to them. A couple of days later a 2nd agency calls her - same thing, they have a job opening and want her resume.
2nd agency sets up a preliminary phone interview with employer, this led to 1st interview, a week later she has the 2nd interview - and yesterday morning she received the offer letter - she starts in two weeks. Full time, decent pay and benefits. YAY!
She gets a call from the 1st agency yesterday afternoon, saying the position they wanted her for had been filled. She was curious and asked what the job was --- :rofl: - it was for the very same job!!!
