The possibility can be exciting, but it can also feel unsettling,...
God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. 1 Peter 4:10   Every person brings something different to the workplace.

Searching for a job can be a challenging time of your life. Your days can suddenly revolve around applications, CVs, interviews and emails, while your confidence seems to rise and fall with every response. One day you feel hopeful because you have found several promising vacancies; the next, you are wondering whether you will ever find the right opportunity. While we may pray about our job search and genuinely trust God, we can still feel...
There are few things quite as discouraging as searching for a job and hearing “no” again and again. You spend time polishing your CV, filling in applications, preparing for interviews and praying that this might finally be the opportunity you have been waiting for.

Job interviews can feel intimidating for almost everyone, and it is completely natural to experience nerves and uncertainty.
