From Unemployment to Employment

[Dillon]

I start my first day at my new job later this afternoon which I’m pretty excited about!
I got creative over the last several months or 6-7 months of being unemployed and created a diagram that shows the number of jobs I’ve applied to, interviews and finally to a job offer. Yeah I’ve made several posts in the past in this forum of feeling negative towards myself about this whole issue and attacking my own self esteem and worth but at the end I’ve learned that persistence has been key especially in this job market. More importantly someone finally found my worth to be valuable which that is a great achievement for me.

Shouldn't the diagram read '22' for "no offers"?
