Ugh.
I’m frustrated.
Today I had an interview for an English teaching position. It was at a different high school from the one Chicky and Rooster attend, but hey, it was an INTERVIEW! I was psyched!
I dressed the part and got nervous when I went in. The principal and another teacher were conducting it.
They quickly put me at ease, and I answered all of their questions.
As the interview progressed, I grew confident. They seemed to like my answers, made a lot of comments, and I left feeling very good about the experience.
Well, I just got a phone call.
The job was filled with another applicant.
Sigh…
Would it be bad to say I’m disappointed?
I honestly thought I had a shot at this one.
I thought I answered all of the questions correctly. I answered from my heart…that’s all I know.
The feedback I received from them made me believe I stood an honest chance.
Most people would wallow in self-pity, though, and I’m choosing not to do that.
I think I’ll allow myself a moment and treat myself to some kind of chocolaty-caramely delight (I’m making up words, but I’m not officially an English teacher yet).
And then I’ll go back to job-hunting…continuing to trust the Lord.
His plans for me are perfect. I know He will use this experience to bring glory to His name.
