Emotion: anxiety
Problem: job crisis
Situation: I am frustrated, as I am looking for a job and despite sending in multiple applications and reference letters, employers have not even acknowledged receipt of the materials submitted, much less expressed anything suggesting that I am under consideration for the position.

user: Hello

assistant: hello, how are you doing and how was your night?

user: It's been tough. I've been looking for a job for months, but feel like I'm getting nowhere.

assistant: I'm sorry to hear that but if i may hear your you clearly, what you are saying is that you don't have any job for a long time now

user: Well, I am fortunate to have a job, but I am seeking a different job because the one I have does not pay what my skills are worth. It barely pays enough for me to pay my essential bills.

assistant: ok, that is a bit of relief have u check for job vacancy in your state

user: I have, but there are few decent jobs out there. Most available jobs are in locations where one can not drive safely or their personal safety is at risk.

assistant: oh, safety is everything. have you ever consider changing your location. i once change my location to pursue my goal and it pan out well

user: Last week, I submitted an application package for my dream job. I have over 15 years of experience and the employer offers housing (which I have seen before, and it is quite nice). I have heard nothing at all. I would have to relocate 4 hours away, but I would do it in a heartbeat for this job.

assistant: wow, i pray that work out. i believe it will work out

user: What makes this job so special to me is that it is not like a regular job: it is at a conference center resort owned by my church denomination. I have attended religious retreats there and am now in the process of seeking a new confirmation into this church because it is a different church than that of my childhood. Working there would be ministry, not typical work. And because the majority of staff and guests are from one of our sister churches, one is working mostly with friends and building long relationships.

assistant: wow, that's a big deal. i know you might not be the only one fighting for this position but i trust you will get it

user: Thank you. I believe there are three things in my favor: I know the job well, as I became friends with the person I would be replacing, My pastor wrote a glowing reference, and I was also able to get a reference from the person who trained me for my current (related) job fifteen years ago.

assistant: even by working there, you will surely meet new friends. do you know many people from the church?

user: We worked together for almost 13 years before she retired, but who would be in a better position to assess my skill than my trainer/work partner? I know a few of the higher ups from the area churches, and a handful of families. I know half the core staff I would be working with daily and think of them as extended family.

assistant: you just have to be patient and don't push it too hard so that you won't look desperate

user: The benefits are nice, also, such as staff are provided meals prepared by the banquet chef and his team when at work. And though everyone has a role, the office staff support each other well and work as a team.

assistant: wow, banquet at work. that is a wonderland stuff

user: At the risk of preaching religion, I believe God may be calling me to serve there.

assistant: that is definitely a dream job. God is everywhere just put your trust in Him. He never sleep nor slumber

user: When off duty, staff are encouraged to enjoy the facilities and mingle with guests. There is an Olympic sized pool, field games, a gymnasium, an exercise room, and if off duty, one can attend most any of the events on the campus, unless designated as a private event.

assistant: wow! Olympic size pool. Keep praying. the job is yours.

user: Because my job is to sell repeat business, it is essential that I get out and meet guests and make certain that their needs are met, but it usually comes in the form of serving snacks at intermission and saying hellos as one passes. It would feel like a family reunion, but in a family where everyone gets along.

assistant: that is good, i work in such place where everyone is like a family.

user: The music events year round are outstanding. They have many well known names in Christian music as well as speakers who are well worth hearing. To be able to hear these messages at no cost makes the job priceless.

assistant: i can feel your excitement.

user: As I said to my pastor, just to work somewhere where people say thank you and ask how you are doing rather than criticize every move would be such a blessing. And since I work nights already, I am more than happy to cover the office overnight to attend to guests who have locked themselves out, or have other concerns. I used to live on site at the motel where I work now, and on my days off, all I did was make keys and walk the grounds to ensure safety. At this facility, there are beautiful benches to sit and watch the moon and stars and enjoy the sunrise or just take a moment. There are covered gazebos and a couple buildings have deep covered porches for days when it's a bit rainy or the sun is strong. And we're across the street from mountains and a river. The campus is simply beautiful.

assistant: we are trying to make impact and survive which is what you have been doing with your current work. but sooner or later you will get your real job.

user: I pray you are right. I feel as though I have been running on a hamster wheel, but it has brought me to this. Fifteen years of directly related experience, with about another 15 to 20 years of customer service, call center, and customer facing work.

assistant: I hope and pray everything happens the way you wished. you have been working hard. I will put you in my prayers

user: Thank you. I don't mind the work, but it would be nice to also have appreciation, that is what makes the current job difficult is that I feel taken for granted. Thank you

assistant: You are welcome. Do have a nice day
