Gained Employment Reflection

Friends & Family.... I am now employed. Phew!

Yesterday I accepted a position with Pacific Natural Foods Company in Tualatin. I will be a Consumer Services Coordinator, providing support to all product related calls. This position is heavy on Nutrition and product knowledge in order to provide the consumer with thorough and confident information related to the products they are purchasing with Pacific Natural Foods. In turn, I take all of the product and consumer information I've collected and share this with Marketing, in order to better serve our customers.

I am encouraged by this job, as it will provide less work-related stress and I am not having to compromise with salary (as I assumed I might have to do in order to gain employment). The overall personality of the company is down to Earth and professional. The ideals of a healthy life, sustainability and productivity all appear to be evident within this organization, leaving me eager to contribute my gifts and talents.

On the other hand, I am a bit insecure about myself after losing my job with Providence. In my efforts to go over and beyond, I was cut down and let go. This left me feeling completely helpless and foolish. In my time of unemployment, I have rebuilt a lot of myself and gained much of my confidence back, but a small part of me is still fearful of failure.

Unlike many points in my life, I am going into this current chapter with a renewed sense of who is guiding my steps and ordaining all things to be. I don't yet understand it, but I acknowledge that my very existence is in the hands of God and all things work to the good of those who believe. I hope this new job will allow me to be a vessel of His love and graciousness to all around me, including myself.

Wish me luck!
