Jonah's Story of Patience & Persistence
Christian HELP • June 16, 2026

Jonah is a 24-year-old recent midwestern College Grad and new resident to Orlando. Jonah landed at Christian HELP in mid-January after applying for 50+ roles in the Industrial Engineering field with few positive results. He privately "pined" to work in a university setting in some capacity.

With Christian HELP's guidance, Jonah immediately revamped his resume, refined his Networking skills and enthusiastically participated in as many job fairs as one man possibly can.

Ironically, it was at one of the CFEC events that Jonah engaged a recruiter from a local university in a lengthy conversation. Jonah learned there were no roles available for him at that time. However, an Admissions Specialist II position would be opening soon. They were scouting to hire a young, recent grad with positivity and charisma who their students could truly identify with.

Strongly encouraged after that interaction, Jonah scoured his Linked In connections for those he personally knew who were employed at the school. Turns out, Jonah had a former classmate now working there. He broadcasted Jonah's resume to the proper parties as soon as the job was officially posted.

The rest of the story? Jonah interviewed twice for the Admission Specialist II role and was offered the job! Is God good or what? Jonah started in his new position in late April and loves it! Patience and persistence bears fruit and for a good reason! (See John 15.8)
