I wish to interrupt this scheduled break to announce that Sylvain has, after a year and a half, landed a job. He got the call for an interview just one week after his employment insurance ran out.
I am so proud of him for being willing to enter a new field with all the learning and starting over that entails. The coolest part is that he and I now both earn our livings at not-for-profit organizations/companies and also both volunteer for non profits.
I am also proud of him for the equanimity he displayed while unemployed. No, he was not immune to the beating one’s self-esteem begins to take as the result of weeks looking and not finding, resume’s sent without calls for interviews and interviews that are not followed by the good news call. Nevertheless, he never stopped saying, “I am not worried. Everything is going to work out in the end.”
He has been offered a job by the one employer he most wanted to work for.
Thank you for all your good thoughts over the past many months.
Excellent news Kelly !! :)
Thanks for interrupting the break to tell us.
p.s. Please pass on my congrats.
