If you are morally clean you can stand in anybody`s presence.

I heard this statement last night during a combined mutual for boys and girls. We were taught about how to prepare for job interviews and dates. What a great night! Have you ever felt that you were at the right place, at the right time listening to the right thing? These were my feelings last night. About 6 months ago, I got my employment authorization. Many things had happened since then. But I can tell that I have applied for many jobs in several different areas, I got some calls inviting me for interviews but I still wasn't find worthy to be hired for any company.

I went to Business School in Brazil and got a Bachelor of Arts in Office Administration. I spent 4 years of my life preparing myself to become valuable for any company. I had great experiences in my internship programs. I worked really hard to have enough money to provide for my loved ones and also offer them some entertainment and saving for my future. I had worked in 3 different companies. The economy or market, in Brazil, wasn't so good at that time. I couldn't get the job of my dreams for so long, also because I was engaged and waiting to immigrate to US, my VISA would arrive at any time. These situations, nowadays, reflect in my resume negatively, I guess.

After spending hours completing tons of applications online, getting the chance of being interviewed and not getting the job, I can`t deny how frustrated I am. There is no way to control these feelings so easy as we talk. We need to put into it a lot of efforts to remember who we are and don`t forget our dreams and goals.

I was sharing my feelings with my husband this past week. He told me something really simple and true: “Don`t feel this way. Satan is working on you”. Those who know me will understand that. I`m a religious person and I believe that as much as there is a God who loves us, inspires us, guides us and wishes us the best, there is an enemy of all righteousness who attempt to destroy the plans of this God. And he will be close to tempts us, makes us feel unable and powerless, even unworthy. I need to “sell my fish” with more creativity. Understanding, myself, that I have most of the skills required to develop a good work. Remembering that being morally clean I don`t have to be afraid in the interviewer`s presence. I don`t have any bad thing to hide. I have lots to share an some couple of more things to learn.

Keeping myself morally clean and not being afraid of what the future has to reveal me, this is my goal.
