Hey Ya'll! It's been ages! Literally it felt like I haven't blogged in so long. To update you on life, nothing changed. Still job less. Still looking and searching and the process of it all is becoming second nature to me. I thought that I had a chance to be able to finally find a stable job; unfortunately, when it was my turn to spin the wheel, it landed on 'lose turn' aka door was closed aka I'm not the winner of Hell's Kitchen and wasn't able to get my door open. Coming into the interview during that day, I was really nervous yet excited at the same time. During the interview, I felt confident answering all the questions and I would constantly get affirmations that I was answering the questions well with the panel saying, 'good', 'excellent'. At the end of the interview we even got a chance to laugh it out and talked about dogs! It didn't occur to me till after the interview that I should of distributed my freshly revised resume and references to the panel in order to show urgency or a sense of taking control and going ahead of the game; then I noticed that they already had a copy of my old resume that I submitted so I was being polite and observant and hesitated to ask them if they would want a new copy. I knew then that 10 points was taken off even in the scale of that minuscule detail. Then the weekend (Friday-Sunday) came (the interview happened Thursday), and I didn't occur to me to EMAIL the panel and thank them for the opportunity they've given me to be interviewed by them in order to show consistency and the desperate cry to hire me until late last night when my friend told me about it. SO I rushed in producing a decent email and was able to do it last minute. I knew after sending the email that I had already lost: Another ten points off and I'm out of the game. Katniss killed me with her archery skills. I finally got the confirmation when my friend notified me that she got the job offer and right then and there, I bled to death. Yes, I left out the part where it was between me and my friend fighting for the same position but I knew that when said that she knows the panel from past experience, that she's going to get the job just by walking through that door; coupled with her massive experience with Office of Student Life, her resume alone was enough to shoot right through my heart. In all seriousness, I was really proud of her and that I know that the panel made a very wise decision by hiring her. I know that she's going to contribute a lot to the Chancellor's Office and be able to just rock the Events Assistant position! It's going to take the entire day for me to get over it and just think about what's to come. I know that this is not what God planned for me and I know that there are going to be better things ahead. Overall, it was a learning experience. I had a wonderful time after the interview by reuniting with my Merced Family and was overwhelmed with love and positive vibe of them really wanting me to get the job. And for that, I appreciate and thank them for the support. So today is just an ordinary day. I'm waiting for that rejection email to come in and really just be the flower to my grave. LOL. There. Done. It feels good to have finally let it all out. As for the reader(s), thank you for your time and effort for reading such a post. Ya'll are very good listeners, I must say. Till my next entry, have a blastin' DAAAAY! :)
