After 3.5 months of being unemployed, following a 19 year IT career, I was given a verbal offer at one of the world’s biggest financial institutions.

2 days later, HR rep called to confirm salary, which was nearly $10K more than I was expecting.

Obviously it doesn’t mean anything until I get the written offer and clear the background check, but there’s finally hope!

800 applications and 8 interviews later, as someone who’s both physically and mentally disabled, and facing imminent homelessness… I was able to do what I thought was impossible!
