“My mom is truly my cheerleader every single day, but she was especially my most important supporter when choosing a career path. Before landing my dream job, I faced many ups and downs. I remember advancing very far in the interview process for a position with another company and ended up not being offered the job. My mom motivated me to keep moving forward and reassured me that I would end up where I was meant to be, and she was 1000 percent right. Thanks, Mom!”

“When I was applying for jobs during my last semester of college, my mom took the time out of her day to talk me through my anxiety. I’m extremely neurotic, so every extra day I had to wait for a callback or a response to an email was another 30 minutes she stepped away from her work desk to calm me down over the phone. She read every cover letter, along with every single version of my résumé. I made her absolutely crazy, but never did she stop helping me.”

“My mom is always sharing the stories I write on social media and giving me constant encouragement about how proud she is that I’ve found my dream job. She’s totally my biggest cheerleader — in fact, she still wears a shirt that says “cheerleader mom” from when I was an ACTUAL cheerleader in high school.”
