Trying to get a job is a full-time job, except you’re not making any money doing it. 

The longer you slave away at the job applications, the cover letters, and the seemingly endless interviews, the less money you’ll have by the end of your journey. As time goes on, an unemployed person’s savings inevitably dwindle, putting pressure on an already high-stress situation. That’s why, when you’re nearing the end of the line, a successful job interview becomes more and more important, with your entire livelihood riding on a single day’s success. 

The guy in this next story was just trying to get to the city on time to make it to his big interview, but when he realized he had spent his last dime on bus fare, he panicked, knowing he had a long way to get to the office from the bus station. Luckily for this prospective employee, he was sitting next to a kind stranger to whom he started chatting. Wouldn’t you know it, after only an hour as bus-seat neighbors, this kind stranger fronted the cash for the man’s cab fare, wishing him luck on his interview before sending him off. 

At the time, he didn’t know it, but this one act of kindness would karmically come back 10-fold, showing up when he least expected.
