A CHARM TO SECURE EMPLOYMENT

In this day and age one of the most soul-destroying situations that can happen to a person is also one of the most common - to be made redundant. Another is not to be given a chance to show what you are capable of in a working situation. The following charm may work wonders in securing the faithful practitioner a satisfying position, but will only do so if you are willing to go to as many interviews as you can manage.

On a Sunday take a clean handkercheif, preferably green in colour, and lay it flat with one of the corners pointing toward you. Place three cardamom seeds, a bay leaf and a sprig of rosemary (or a teaspoon of the dried herb) in the centre.

These herbs are believed to surround you in self-confident and attractive energy. The cardamom seeds are traditionally believed to sweeten your personality and bring out your natrual eloquence. Bay leaves are the ancient Roman symbol of succes and triumph while rosemary is a herb of achievement and mental alertness.

Tie the corners of the handkerchief together with a length of string so that you have a bundle of herbs small enough to carry with you to employment interviews.

Before each interview hold the little bundle and touch it to your forehead, hold it there while you close your eyes and visualise yourself walking into an interview room, radiating confidence, imagine yourself captivating the interviewer with your personality. Visualise yourself being in a position to pick and choose jobs at will.

Carry your charm in your pocket or purse to all your interviews and be sure to accept any rejections as a sign from the universe that the job was not right for you. When you come across a job that is perfect for you, your success bundle will help you get it.
