Today has seen so many defining moments. The unexpected happened. I went to one manpower agency which asked me to undergo an interview this morning. The interviewer, who for the first time (according to her colleagues) was running late. She came around 15 minutes past the designated time - apologetic and remorseful that this morning of all mornings, she got caught in a traffic jam. As we were having our conversation, my mobile kept on ringing. When the interview ended, I immediately called the number appearing in my missed calls. It turned out that the person on the other line is the Filipina whose email, requesting me to forward my CV, I just saw this morning. She saw my classified ads herein QL. Since I was near her office, I was told to come for the interview.
Behold! The position available is one that I have been longing for - having similarities with the job I loved most back home. I was told that I would be given an offer letter. The interviewer even quipped that "QATAR LIVING IS REALLY GOOD". Yes, indeed! QL gives opportunities to people like me who would have gone through the rigors of hopping from one building to another in search of a job.
Had the interviewer for the manpower agency arrived on time, I wouldn't have been able to drop by that office and missed the opportunity.
When I arrived back at the office, I was praying that my boss would already notify me if I'm included among those who would be laid off from the project or not. Surprisingly, after my prayers were said, he calle dme to his office. He informed me that I will be laid off from the project but that he is highly recommending me for a post in the regional office that our company will be setting up here in Qatar beginning on April 1st.
I asked what if I find another job? He said that I can be transferred under new sponsorship. Otherwise, if I find nothing, I have his word that I can be arranged for the regional office.
Indeed, God works in many ways!
"the darkest moment is always before dawn..." Indeed!
