After much anticipation, and several days of intense deliberation, the time has finally come for us to announce the winners of the Hired Hall of Fame Job Seeker Story Contest! Selecting a winner wasn’t easy, as everyone’s story was inspirational in their own way. When it came down to the wire, however, the committee agreed that Angela Y.’s story was the overall winner of this particular contest.
Angela Y. is from Stillwater, MN, and she shared with us her victorious job search experience using Local Eye Site to conquer her job search. Angela wrote, “I had moved out to New Mexico but wanted to come back to the Midwest. I stumbled upon Local Eye Site and found there was an opening at a clinic I had wanted to work at since I graduated from Tech school 15 years earlier. I applied, and they hired me and back I came. THANKS LOCAL EYE SITE!”
Angela’s story is one of many, but it is unique in that she was able to return to a place she had only dreamed of returning to before using Local Eye Site to find a job that would take her there. Her story inspired us by reminding us that even though it may seem difficult to find a job doing what you want to do, WHERE you want to do it, there’s always a way if you work hard enough to achieve your goals - and Local Eye Site can help make that happen. Thank you, Angela, for inspiring us and other job seekers out there to stay the course and keep pursuing your career dreams!
Now we don’t want to forget our other contestants with excellent job search stories! Here are the Top 5 Entries for the Hired Hall of Fame Contest:
Amber L. - Winston-Salem, NC
“Well, I had lost my previous job and was in desperate need, so I started my job search. I didn’t have internet access at home, but the library wasn’t far away, so off I went! I searched for what seemed like hours when I came across localeyesite.com. Suddenly, there it was – the job of my dreams! I submitted my application, uploaded my Résumé, and pressed send. Exactly 4 months later to the day, here I am, in Ophthalmology and happy!”
Dr. Tyronne F. - Largo, FL
“My story began when I visited the localeyesite.com booth at the International Vision Expo East. The friendly staff took the time to demonstrate how easy it was to use the website. I did a quick search and was surprised to see an availability in my hometown in Florida. From there, I connected with the recruiter, Denise, for National Vision, Inc. Unfortunately, the licensing process in Florida is lengthy and the position had to be filled right away, but she kept me informed and currently I’m set to work upon licensing! I encourage everyone to check localeyesite.com for up-to-date job postings!”
Esul S. - Charlotte, NC
“I was hired for the best company I have worked for yet! It is a huge company but I work in a smaller branch where I see contact lens patients, perform imaging tests and help out with the doctors’ workups. I love this office and couldn’t be happier with my coworkers! Thank you LES!”
Devendra S. - Houston, TX
“Local Eye Site gave me a big leg-up into the field of Ophthalmology. In short, LES is a like the Google of Ophthalmology Jobs online.”
Kathryn C. - Southeastern US
“I had become bored and unchallenged in the clinic setting. I was a daily “checker” of LES’s job board, but even the task of job hunting had become mundane. I had seen a promising post on LES for a few days but the constant daily searching had broken my confidence and I didn’t apply. One Friday afternoon, I had enough! I rushed home, crossed my fingers and applied. One week later, I found myself in NJ for an interview! The job was mine! Thank you LES!!! I have my passion for eyeballs back and I LOVE my job!!!”
