English is not my native language and my english skills are not good enough to write such a long text flawlessly. So I wrote my text in German and I used Google Translator to help to show the meaning of the text for you. Please excuse a few mistakes.
"When I look back, there are certainly some situations in my life, which would fit the topic "Hindsight is 20/20". But first I thought that I had to lose a job first, that I can now work where I belong and feel really comfortable.
I have to explain that for health reasons I learned a new profession again in my mid-30s and didn't find a new job for a while. I was alone with my 2 young children often, because my husband worked on assembly and was only at home on weekends. That didn't make the whole thing easier.
However, a lecturer from my training recommended me to an employer and I was actually selected and hired after my application, interview, and trial work.
It was a huge change for me, as I had never worked in this industry before. I had to become an organizational genius with my children, to have always someone for them, since I had no regular working hours and sometimes had to work very early and other days very long. But I enjoyed it, even though it was really hard sometimes.
But I enjoyed being part of a team again, needed and valued, even though it was really tough at times.
After two years something changed within the company and several jobs were lost, unfortunately also mine. I was infinitely sad and cried a lot and could not imagine that I would find a job again so quickly. How did I miss my job and my colleagues.
After three months I heard from a small company in the neighboring town they were looking for someone in the job that I had learned. I applied, introduced myself and was ultimately accepted because I persisted and kept asking.
I have been working in this company for 13 years now, have regular working hours, a work area that I manage independently and very nice bosses and colleagues. My work is appreciated and I feel completely comfortable. I only have a 15-minute drive to my office and was able to look after my children again in the afternoon or wake up early in the morning.
If I look at it retrospectively, I am really grateful and happy today to have lost my other job in 2007. Otherwise I would not be where I am today."
