The perks of being a jobseeker

The eye-opening time came for me by a Facebook post. I've been struggling to find a job related to my field here in Germany for quite a long time, but I wasn't giving up. I was taking online courses, I was learning the language very hard, I was practicing it at my part-time job, with new friends. I felt I was eventually going to make it.

Then I read it.

A seemingly non-relevant post, not attention-seeker, a very harmless and even nice one. A contact of mine to whom I owe my own awe.

It went (and I am paraphrasing): "Just when I am about to embrace my unemployed life, start making holiday plans and stop feeling miserable... one of my applications bears fruit and I start a new job on Monday!"

Awe.

Someone writing about their one-week unemployment.

And here I am.

Wishing I was that lucky.

Just FYI, I still haven't given up.

AND she totally deserved it.
