Just thinking about doing a job spell and buying the ingredients landed me 3 interviews and casual work???
I don’t know if I’m just being silly and I genuinely don’t have a clue about how any of this works or what I did, but I’ve been looking for a job for the last 3 months. I’d wake up every single day and my morning routine was browsing on linkedin, applying to between 5-20 jobs per day. For three full months I’d wake up to multiple job rejections and complete silence.
I got to the point of desperation, where I felt like no matter what I did I couldn’t get a job.
Here’s the strange part:
I had a look on this subreddit for a job spell, found one that looked promising, and watched the YouTube video for instructions but I didn’t have some of the ingredients. I had my piece of paper ready to describe the job I wanted as part of the spell, but I wasn’t sure what my ideal job would be. I called one of my close friends to cry about how dire my job-seeking situation was.
Around 15 minutes after this:
-
I get a call from a recruiter about a job I was sent a rejection email for asking if I was still interested. The hours I wanted were an issue but said I was a really good candidate and wants to send my profile to other stores who have the hours I wanted.
-
I went to the store to buy the ingredients and just as I was about to checkout, I get a message from an agency I used to work for asking if I was interested in doing some freelance work with them over the weekend.
-
The next day I get invited to an interview
-
The following day I get invited to another interview
-
The same day I get invited to a third interview by a company who also sent me a rejection email.
All of these interviews are on 3 consecutive days.
Months of complete silence and all of a sudden I have all these interviews and work for this weekend. I don’t know if I manifested this or if I’m noticing patterns where there aren’t any.
Any thoughts on this?
