The buzz of anticipation and hope

The hardest part about job hunting is finding a position that you would love to have. I know, you're thinking to yourselves, why is that the hardest part? However, it's at that moment that you get so eager to apply and so anxious for the position, that your fingers slip around the keyboard and your heart starts pounding the moment you click the submit button. It's not so much that you're nervous, but that you are so excited about the position you can hardly wait to apply . . at least, that is what it's like for me. I just submitted an application for a job that I would love to have! I've barely just applied and already the buzz of anticipation and hope is keeping me hopping around the room like a child before Christmas day. So I return to my first statement, the hardest part about job hunting is finding a job you really want, because the moment you hit submit you're giving so much hope and anticipation into a position you may not get. Granted, if the position doesn't work out, there will be others and I have to remain positive that there WILL be others. Better yet, if I don't get the position, that means it just wasn't "the one." But it's hard to willingly set yourself up for possible rejections over and over again. In-fact, it's kinda like dating, you kiss frog after frog until finally one turns into a prince. So I suppose if I look at job hunting the same way, I can remain positive. Afterall, I found Robert, which only means eventually I have to find my charming career too. . . right?

Copywriting Internship

Well I had my interview for the internship today and it went well. I'm already scheduled for a second interview this Friday and I'm really excited about the opportunity. I just have to get past the next phase of interviews, which, there's apparently three people I have to talk to. I also have to pass a mock writing assignment which has to be done in 45 minutes. YIKES! But I'm still really excited and hopeful. It's with a great company and the internship can last for however long I want it to. There's no end date and if I'm good at what I do, they said they might, might, MIGHT hire me for a full time position. So I just have to go in and work my hardest and see what happens.

The only thing that makes me sad about it is Robert isn't here. If I got offered a full time job what would we do? He's three hours away and I miss him terribly. It wouldn't be fair of me to ask him to leave his new job in seven months. I know he'd never ask me to leave mine either. That's one of the remarkable things about our relationship. We truly respect eachother's needs. We'll see what happens if I get the internship, and later, if I got offered a job. Right now it's hard to be apart, but when we're married we've promised to move back in together. So, despite the fact I have to get the position first, I'm definitely thinking about what would happen if I was offered a career as I don't want to start married life without him here.

Job hunting

Well, I decided not to take the opportunity I was offered. It was a great job offer, and I would have loved, loved, LOVED the work. However, it didn't pay enough to afford all my bills, which is the only reason I didn't take it. Don't get me wrong, I stand by my statement that the job is more important than the pay, but I have to make enough to pay my bills, too.

As for Robert, he's found a great job opportunity that will really take care of him. I would say more on here, but based on the harassment we've been receiving, I'm going to leave out the job name and where it is. You can always get in contact with me if you want to know :-).

So the job hunt continues. I'm determined to find a position I love. . . at least, most days if not all;). I really haven't been unemployed that long anyway. Just since April. But finding the right job means a lot to me and hopefully, I'll find it soon.
