I recently moved to Boston with my family. We moved to Boston to be closer to my husband Lou’s family. Once we made the move to the city I started searching for jobs in my area of expertise. For the last 15 years I have been a store manager at a popular local department store. I read the local newspapers and conducted online searches for any available Store Manager Jobs. I couldn’t find any job openings at the management level so I started applying for entry level positions. One day while I was at the mall with my daughter I saw a help wanted sign in the window of a popular clothing store. I inquired about the sign and was told that they were hiring for a store manager. I filled out a job application and left. I got a call for a job interview on the very next day. I want to the interview and was offered the job on the spot. I was so happy and relieved about my new job. It has only been about two months but I really love my new job and new coworkers.

Not Enough Choice
10.13
One of the most duanting and most challenging task that awaits you when you graduate is job search. When I graduated from Nursing School and got my license as a nurse, I had to pass through several training courses before I’d get higher chances of getting hired. And now, I’m still unemployed.
We end up applying for jobs that are unrelated to our field of expertise. We can’t stay jobless for the rest of our lives. Today, we need to be resilient. The only option I got if I stay committed to the profession is to volunteer in a hospital. The drawback is that volunteers don’t get any salary or an allowance. I decided to surrender the profession that I pursued and opted on jobs that can guarantee high salary.
Somehow, there’s a part of me that regrets not having to pursue Nursing. However, there seems to be not enough choice.
