Today marks an awful day in my life last year(December 16, 2008). On this day I was called into a conference room by my current manager and representative from HR informing me that they no longer needed my services at medium size Semiconductor Company. I was shocked after all I have done for the department and the organization to steer them in the right path of Project Management. This was a result of 70% workforce reduction. I have learned through this experience that things happen for a reason. I found myself struggling financially because of this experience. I am still struggling to locate an employer that will allow me begin utilizing the great attributes that I have built up from my education. I am still trying to keep things together with my family, and the assets that I had the time. Without the beautiful lady(inside and out) on my side these days I am not sure how I would be able to deal with the storm that I have been facing. Most importantly, Jehovah Jiren has been there for me through all of this mishaps.
What I have learned through this horrible experience. that the fight will never stop in me until I reach the peak of success. Currently, I am working in a survival role where I am involved in reacting to SAAS failures such as transactions for consumers trying to purchase items online. Sometimes monitoring the applications as it may be going through mainteanance. I am thankful for the opportunity as it allows me to look at Information Technology at a broader level. I also believe that it aligns me for my target Job Opportunities with my target employer. Without me networking with friends and family, I would never come upon this opportunity. As I am writting this blog, I need to get ready for work, but I knew since this memory is fresh in my mind; I had to write this blog.
The morale here is that things happen that we cannot control, but it's how we handle/face adversity.
Enjoy-
AO
