Easter had always been a time of fresh starts for Sarah.
New dresses. Fresh braids. Family lunches that spilled over into evening laughter.
But this year, things were different.
It was Monday. April 14th. The start of Holy Week. And Sarah hadn’t had a job interview in three months.
She had just finished wiping her son’s cereal off the table when the email pinged.
Her benefits were about to run out.
She stared at the screen for a long time.
🧠“Maybe after Easter,” she whispered to herself.
That’s the thing about job hunting. It isn’t just about CVs or applications. It’s about hope management. It’s about keeping yourself going when you’ve already been told “no” more times than you can count.
It’s about staying the course when everything inside you wants to pause life — just for a little.
But Sarah didn’t pause. She reached out.
She had heard about Justintime Resourcing from a friend at church.
“I’m not even sure I’m ready,” she said on the call.
“You don’t have to be,” our team replied. “You just have to let us help.”
✨ We did more than rework her CV.
We gave her mock interviews. Prepped her confidence. Matched her with a company looking for someone with her exact strengths. A role that aligned with her personality, not just her experience.
And that Friday?
Sarah had her interview.
On Good Friday.
“I kept thinking about how everything Jesus went through led to something better. Maybe this was mine.”
🕊️ Sarah started work the following Tuesday.
A care home in Leeds needed someone who could manage both admin and empathy.
She fit like a glove. And today, she tells her story to anyone who needs reminding that a delay is not a denial.
💡 Easter reminds us of something powerful:
That light follows darkness,
That breakthroughs come after breakdowns,
And that sometimes, the thing you’ve been waiting for shows up just when you were about to stop looking.
Looking for your next opportunity? Don’t wait for the “right moment.”
Let’s start fresh — together.
