Last week was a rollercoaster for me. First I was hopeful and crazy excited, then very sad and disappointed.
I had this job interview. And it went pretty well, as far as how I handled it. I spoke easily and with confidence. I studied my questions and wore a simple, pretty dress. I took my time and only stumbled through a few things. I was still nervous so there were a few awkward silences. Overall it was successful though and I drove away from the meeting feeling really good, like I might actually have a shot this time!
This particular job opportunity hit home for me, big time. It was for a museum (being a art history major, this was *perfect* for me and my education/experience!) and the hours were full-time seasonal/part-time non-seasonal (hello Violet time!). The grounds were beautiful and the buildings/exhibition spaces were incredible. I think I fell in love with the idea of working in this amazing place. I knew that I could do the job and that I would LOVE to do the job too. I wanted this job so much, I was literally dreaming about the things I could do in this position. I was SO ready to start this new thing I could feel it in my bones. I suppose I kind of set myself up for a fall but I was too excited to control my imagination.
The deadline for the employer's response came and went. I knew I did not get it and of course, expected the "thanks but no thanks" letter, which came promptly. It was a huge rejection for me and my ego suffered so much. I cried and whined and felt a pain like heartbreak. I know I know, it was just a job. But I saw my future in it and it was something I found meaning in... finally.
I hope I stumble upon similiar again SOON and that I get another chance to possibility do something worthwhile.
I won't settle and I can't give up.
