Everything happens for a reason

It was my first time to try my luck in a BPO industry. 15 minutes before our first round of interview, we were given a piece of paper on where the basic operations of the bank was outlined. I guess, I read it twice.
Now, my turn came. We did a few brief exercises to test my ability to communicate with random customers until he asked me about my own understanding of the word "discretion". I had a mental block. I felt that the interviewer really liked me but because of that, I failed to get the job though he advised me to re-apply again after three months.
The funny part was that I completely had all the answers in my mind the moment I set my foot off the building. That answer was really considered a piece of cake but just an hour after that, I got a job in its competitor with offices just next to it.
Because of that experience, I come to realize more that indeed everything happens for a reason.

Sometimes, no matter what we know, our mind can go blank for no known reason. I'm glad you got a job and hope you'll be happy with it. Congratulations.

Who needs discretion when you can have destiny on your side? Embrace the serendipity, keep those clever responses at the ready, and trust that the universe has a hilarious way of putting things into place. Cheers to your unpredictable journey and may laughter be your faithful companion along the way!
