I had been contemplating a job change since the past one year. Had put up my resume on various job search portals, given it to quite a few consultants. Even went for a couple of interviews which for some reason did not turn out the way I hoped they would.
Then I stopped trying for some time and today, im few days away from joining my new office. And how did it happen - in the least expected way.
I had gone to lunch with a colleague, who received a call from a consultant. He was not interested, so passed on my details to her. Well, one thing lead to another and very soon, I had a new job on hand.
Amazing right. After trying for so long in so many ways, it finally worked out in the most unexpected way and on the most unexpected day.
Life does that very often, doesn't it. You keep trying very hard for something and then when you are least expecting it, when it’s the farthest thought on your mind - Bang - it just falls in your lap.
Some of the closest and best friendships I have made have also happened this way - in the least expected way, on the least expected day, with persons I least expected to be an acquaintance, leave alone close friends.
It's nice when life surprises you in such ways....
