More on Job Counseling

It facinates and surprises me that my clients trust me. They trust me with their futures. They come into my office and expect to leave with some kind of hope. It doesn't seem to bother them much that I am this young white girl that could pass for a kid. They assume I know what I'm talking about. For the most part I do, but there are times when I kind of have to make things up as I go.
It's encouraging to me though, that people have heard of me! It's true! I get people calling me and coming to my office saying things like "You helped my friend find a job, can you help me?" I even have people request me as a job counselor when they are put into required job search by a case worker because they've heard of little ol' me! Just yesterday I was talking to a collegue from another agency telling me that he's heard several of his clients talk about me, about how I find so many people jobs. What a reputation to uphold!!! Yikes!
Sadly, I have to turn people down. I would love to be able to help them all, but it would be impossible. I really can't take much credit for the number of my clients who've been placed in jobs, because for one thing my clients ROCK and I believe in them. Maybe they can sense that, and find a confidence in themselves they wouldn't have otherwise. And another thing, I credit the Almighty Sovereign Holy and Good Lord for any success I may have. He blesses me so much!
I don't take lightly the responsibility He's given me, to be entrusted with futures. And to have so many people place so much faith in my ability to do my job.
