The first day is the toughest. I have sent resumes over emails or job sites, and no news. So I thought I would try the old way. I printed 5 sets of my resume then drop them off to a few companies I know whether they have any open position or not.
The first drop, I was welcomed with a sincere smile from an employee. It seems that a working environment is a happy place. That smile made my morning.
The fourth drop, the owner was present and instantly we had a quick chat. Very nice and warm person. It takes my hopes up and put a smile on my face.
The last drop, the owner was sitting at his front store. He excitedly took my resume with a big smile. I smile more.
I am happy receiving those kindness from strangers. It might seem small and easy to forget. But these small sweet things that keeps me going.
Have a good day, my friends!
