How I have gotten my job and current internship
From Job Rejections to Unexpected Opportunities: My Journey to Success
I was looking for a part-time job in Nashville, but I was having a difficult time because I kept getting rejected due to my experience. One day in August, someone posted about a job opening at Overbrook Catholic School for an assistant volleyball coach. I reached out to her, and she told me to contact the person responsible for filling the position. I did, we had an interview, and I got the job. I felt honored to be selected.
A few months later, a staff member from my university informed me that I would be starting an internship at HCA Healthcare in November, and I loved it.
That is my success story.
