This has been a grueling journey but my efforts have finally paid off. I'm really happy because it's a job that I really wanted in my desired field and it pays more than the other jobs I've interviewed for. The endless hours spent applying sending resumes, driving and even flying to other states for interviews, and numerous times editing my resume has made me appreciate this opportunity even more than if I got a job 4 months ago.
