When life gives you lemons...
I was feeling down & slighted for being told by a Talent Acquisition rep.that I don't embody the values of the org I had applied for a CSR position in/was seeking to rejoin: courage, innovation & trust. I almost emailed back to the Acquisition team that I did, bec why would I not have been part of the same org back in 2023 (Oh, & I gave proper notice of separation), but opted to let it slide. I did not email back. I thought maybe going back wasn't 'in the cards' for me, after all. I was feeling so let down, even thinking the interviewer may have had a younger age bracket, mindset, & set of skills in mind... And that maybe God was redirecting me to something better. So I just let music & online browsing remove the incident from my mind, then I came across a Facebook post from a colleague who stated she's been struggling to survive the Big C, and has counted the years she felt she was overcoming the odds. At that point, I felt that my own "disappointments" were quite trivial. Other people are going through really major life changes and setbacks...yet still seeing the positive side to it.
