But I have two job interviews and I am seriously on the cusp of throwing up, especially the one that is out of state and is a dream gig.
I need alot of prayers please!

Well that was a crapshoot, apparently I had to be at the location to do an interview but there's no way I can get the funds to fly out or take time off. Oh well, sucks because that would have been a great move for my "career".
Now I gotta try and ace the Friday interview. I'm kind of cocky about it because I think I can do really well.

Alright today is the day, 35 more minutes. I'm fairly confident, but I am trying so hard not to be cocky. I really need prayers for the latter right now.

Just got back. I kind of surprised them with knowing as much about the company as I do.
But looks like they did alot of interviews yesterday. I know I did better than a co-worker of mine who applied, because the interviewer told me.
I have good feeling, but I hate being this cocky. Like I act I got the job, it's terrible. My ego is way too big. I need to get humility, humility, humility.
Sent a thank you note as well.

Dear Achronos,
I hope you are offered the job. Can work on humility if you do or if you don't.
Love, elephant

Didn't get it. I was next on the list and if they have an opening 3-6 months from now I'll get a call with an offer and no interview.
I really needed this. Now I am sunken more into my depression.

Every negative thing that happened to me during my employment career, a job was "eliminated" in early 2004, at my favorite position I worked, I was politely ("You're a nice guy, but I have to open up some of these jobs for my people") dismissed in 2007 because I was affiliated with the wrong political party, these and other negative experiences resulted in me landing a low paying job which I only worked for 10 months because the employer unexpectedly offered a "but out" to employees in 2009 who had exactly the seniority in the retirement system that I had. I consider it a an unsolicited gift from God. My pension is based on the average of the three highest years of salary I earned, the favorite job I mentioned was where I made more than I ever made, and I worked in that job position for 3 years and 6 weeks. You never know what seemingly negative experiences can end up being quite the opposite.
You know you need humility, I was quite humbled by the low paying, clerk's job I had to accept (there were no other options after a 6.5 month job search while I was unemployed) in 2008, and 10 months later, I hit the lottery so to speak.

I had a job interview last monday and still haven't heard from them despite the wonderful hopes up they gave me. I know exactly how you feel! I tell myself that maybe God didn't let it happen because there is something better out there  . Try to stay positive and work towards your next step. Lord have mercy! May He grant you the desires of your heart! |
