I got hired at SM Hypermarket in April 2007. I remember i was so excited working again because in 2004 i resigned from my 14 year old job. So for almost 3 years i just stayed at home doing nothing...( i think i wasn't meant to become a "homebody" because i dont cook, i dont do household chores, im used to having a househelp making life easier for me, in other words...i was soooo bored... & course, i dont have money, thats the sad part there. Its so tough because i looove shopping). Then, i prayed.....Lord give me a job that i will truly love & will compensate me generously. That was my specific prayer. The bible says that when we ask God for something, we should be specific. I recited the prayer everyday of my life. Then 1 day, my previous boss called me up offering me my old post & since i dont want to turn her down, i obliged. But i never stopped from praying that the Lord will give me a job that i will truly love & will compensate me generously.
After seven months, a good friend of mine from SM asked me if i would like to join Hypermarket. Me opening daw !!!.....she set me an appointment with Mr Robert Kwee, the Executive Vice President. And after that, i got interviewed by no less than Mr. Herbert Sy. So you can just imagine how i felt then. I remember my interview was scheduled at 2pm, i wasn't able to eat lunch because of excitement.
That was 2 years ago....looking back, i am amazed. GOD indeed answers prayers. Just be specific, never get tired of asking him. He will surely answer. It may not be NOW, but the answer will certainly come.
Amidst all the news about recession, news about jobs getting harder to find, don't get discouraged. To the graduates of 2009, i ask you to say the same prayer.......
Lord, give me a job that i will truly love & will compensate me generously.
But im also asking you to check out the website of SM Hypermarket. You just might find your place to work (you may not have a good friend working at SM hehe)... we're opening 6 branches this year so we have a lot of job openings. And we're not just looking for cashiers & baggers. we're also hiring HR managers, Selling supervisors, IT, Accountants etc etc...
For now, my prayer is "LORD, THANK YOU FOR THE JOB THAT I TRULY LOVE & WILL CONTINUE TO COMPENSATE ME GENEROUSLY. Really, GOD answers prayers.
