Well, today’s the day. My first job interview in 2 months. The job I’ve really wanted since I learned about it months ago, but spent at least a month thinking the opportunity had evaporated. Now, I find myself sitting in Charlotte at the wee hours of the morning awaiting my plane to go meet with the decision makers.
Travel hasn’t been easy. Blizzard 2009 that whipped up on the east coast over the weekend isn’t helping my cause. Nonetheless, despite some altered travel plans, lots of stress and incessant checking of flight status’, I should be on my way shortly.
Funny enough, my blogosphere pal, Julie, also 28, also unemployed, is ALSO in Baltimore today for an interview. I’m telling you this can only mean good things for 28 year old, unemployed Julies. I mean, really, what are the chances? We land at BWI – hopefully – at about the same time. Hopefully we’ll get to grab a cup of coffee and discuss how much we miss shoe shopping and take our minds off of the impending interview.
That’s the thing about interviewing when you are completely unemployed – there is a whole new level of stress. It isn’t just will I get the job, but it’s will I ever again buy a new pair of shoes? Will I have to move in with my parents (gasp!). Will I ever get to go on vacation? Will my roots look atrocious forever?
Send good vibes my way at about 1:00, I need them… and remember to throw in some additional good vibes for JewliWeb too.
