Working stiff
Yesterday I submitted my resume to this amazing company. Now, I’m terrified. What if they don’t like me? What if no one in the office likes me? What if I screw something up and look like an idiot? Worst of all, what if they don’t hire me?
This is why I stay at jobs much longer than I should. I think it’s my hatred of change coupled with my fear of looking dumb. But this time I have no choice. This is the company my sister works for and when I say it’s awesome, I mean it’s awesome. I have been jealous of her forever. You mean, you have bosses that don’t constantly berate you? And they don’t blame you for their mistakes? And you are offered health insurance? Omigod, you get a lunch break!? My standards are very low.
All my fears aside, this is a great opportunity and I have an excellent referral from my sister. It would also be nice to have actual co-workers. And did I mention, lunch breaks?
But most of all, I think my excitement and anxiety is overflowing because today is Wednesday – my most hated of all days of the week. Far more than Monday. Wednesday is the day when I’m trapped at my desk for upwards of 18 hours, slaving away at the computer, answering EVERYONE’S questions (how they managed to publish newspapers before my arrival is beyond me), being given ads most designers would have a week to work on and being told to finish it within the half hour, working on legal notices that require undivided attention but I have to make them while working on 20 other things because that is my job…. ugh. I can literally feel my blood pressure rising. You know that feeling, when you can sense every drop of blood in your body pulsing through your veins. Yeah.
until the NFL Draft!
Good luck!!! Hope you get it!!
Fingers Crossed, sending positive vibes!
I am sure that if you feel the interview went good then they felt the same way. your gut feeling is usually the best. I wonder what the Boston job market is like, I am in Dallas, TX and we have a ton of corporate headquarters down here. Maybe you could check us out if you dont get it.
Angela, good luck to you. sounds like a good opportunity and better for your blood pressure
Good Luck. Hope you get he job. But don’t break down if you don’t. There are so many oppurtunities availabe. For now, meditate to keep yourself relaxed. Thanks.
Natural anxieties. I hope you get it
It’s been a couple months. How did everything turn out? Even if the job did not pan out, I hope you gained some insight in to their company, and to whether you would apply again or not.
