After My Husband lost his job, we felt a relocation from Oakland to Los Angeles held some promising employment options. Everything about our move to a new city seemed right. We'd found the perfect new home. Friends and family had pitched in to help us get on our way.
And yet, when we arrived in LA, we both struggled to find work. We seemed to spend every moment pounding the proverbial pavement. We researched companies. We networked in our fields. We sent résumés. But employment eluded us.
I was worried and started to question our decision. Maybe the move hadn't been right. Maybe we should have waited longer. Maybe we'd waited too long. These doubts plagued me and I had trouble sleeping.
