The story of the time I lost a job through a “thank you” card
Once upon a time, I had a menial job working for a very large company. I don’t want to name names so I’ll just make something up. Let’s say the company was called “Stationwide.”
So I originally interviewed for a company who did hiring for Stanionwide and they brought me back in for a second interview.

But a couple weeks later, the position opened back up and I started training. It seemed like fate.
But four weeks later, my assignment was terminated. That was really disappointing. I had never experienced anything like that before. While it wasn’t performance based or because I had done anything wrong, I was done. If you’ve never lost a job like that before, it’s rough.

This spring, I started taking graduate classes at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in their Master of Divinity program. Trinity is located in Deerfield, Illinois which is a suburb of Chicago.
