So I don't know that anyone read my blog earlier and saw the post I had written about my life being up in the air, and not in a good George Clooney movie way. I deleted it cause it's not exactly the case anymore.
I got my answer. The full time job I had an interview for last month sent me a thanks but no thanks letter. Apparently I was in a pool of 60 qualified applicants and the whole pool's experience and education exceeded their expectations/requirements... and my app was good enough to get past that initial 20 second glance and get a phone interview. That's pretty darn good, especially when you consider this is a job that I didn't think I had any shot at but wanted to stick my hat in the ring anyway. So I'm pretty proud of myself. I'm doing the right thing and I'm on the right track. I've just gotta get past the phone interview to the face to face, and then the offer...
I'm bummed. But surprisingly enough I'm really OK. Seriously. I'm fine. And I'm not saying that because I'm trying to convince myself it's true. I'm saying it cause I'm in shock that it IS true. I thought I'd be really upset with a rejection. But instead I'm just like "Hm. Bummer. Ok whatever."
I think part of it is the fact that I heard from Natchez. Not only have they offered for me to come back for the summer, but they gave me a raise! I won't say how much but it's a really REALLY nice offer. AND my friends from last summer are coming back! AND I already have friends down there! AND I don't have to go through the waiting period of a background check this summer, which took seriously half of my time last summer - 5 weeks, cause it's good for 3-5 years, I can just start when I get down there. Granted it's not a permanent solution. But heck I am not gonna get a better offer on an internship than this! So yeah I'm happy!
So I decided to accept Natchez. Doesn't mean I'm giving up applying for full time jobs. Still looking. Still hoping. But I can't put off a decision on Natchez and more than likely I'm not gonna find a job right after graduation at this point, so better to have something lined up.
So that's my life. I'm pretty good with it.
How are you?
