Starting Over

I finally took my own advice...Learning to start over. This has been
one of the hardest decisions for me to make, taking a leap of faith in myself.

After searching for a job these past 3 months I realized
finding employment wasn't going to be that easy. As a matter of fact it just
wasn't happening for me. All the experience and education that I had didn't
make a difference. I had sent out resumes to every company in town and posted
them to all the job boards on the internet. Every day I checked my emails to
find “Thank you for applying but we are unable to offer you a position at this
time." Why??? Because for every job that was open 30 to 40 people
were applying for it and with odds like that I knew I didn't stand a chance.

Well the bills were starting to pile up... (They still are)

I knew I had to do something or I was going to lose everything that I had
worked so hard for. I started researching online for virtual work opportunities
and that's when I discovered that I was in real trouble. For every
"legitimate" offer I applied for, I now have a fake check that
they sent me. Unbelievable, how could these people think that I would be such a
fool, that I was going to fall for that. (Anyways, we'll save that topic for later.)

I had just about given up when I was going
through my e-mail and I seen the link for Wealthy Affiliate. I don't know why I
clicked on it because at that time I had no positive thoughts at all, but I
did. At first I was SKEPTICAL, no way is this legitimate, but, I signed up
anyways.

When I got to the Wealthy Affiliate website I was shocked,
this wasn’t like any other website that I had been on. But still being very
skeptical and cautious I proceeded with the free starter membership. For the
next 3 days I explored the community website, made full use of the training,
and discovered where I belonged.

Thanks Wealthy Affiliates for all your support and I
am so excited to be a Premium member on my way to a brand new career and a
bright future.

Kudos,

Darlene Mabry
