[NFBP-Talk] Update

[Connie Scheu]

Hi Sadie, 

I’m so glad I had a chance to visit with you at last year’s state convention. You really impressed me as being very confident, capable and tallented. I am sure you will succeed with this endeavor. I hope to hear about your success in the very near future. 
Enjoy your new apartment, too. Sounds like an exciting new life. 
By the way, I had a masters degree in social work and a state license but ended up working for the Social Security Administration; certainly not what I expected, but it all worked out for the best. I’m sure it will work for you, too.

After at least 200 job applications, many interviews and trips to Pittsburgh for them, I have finally been blessed with a job. Although I am excited, this line of work is not something I even remotely saw myself doing when I graduated college in May.

In order to take this exam, I had to complete countless hours of rigorous coursework, practice examinations, and countless hours of listening to material. I am beyond grateful that I am able to start my next chapter as soon as I get my license approved by the state.

Although I know I am capable of sales, I’m just not sure I’m going to be able to make a living doing this… I’m confident in my abilities, but this is just a difficult business. Without income until I meet the threshold, I’m definitely in for a challenging couple of weeks, especially with moving expenses.
