dirty ethel rackham Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 You guys are the best. Thanks so much for the prayers and encouragement. This is the most hopeful I've felt in a long time. I didn't realize how much anxiety I have been carrying around this past year - the constant fear of not being good enough. My body doesn't quite know what do with this. 🙂 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommyoffive Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Ugh, I am sorry the job didn't turn out to be the one you want. I hope that it moves you closer to the job of your dreams. That is interesting about you doing better at your current job since you started looking. Like the pressure got taken off and now you don't have that riding on you all the time.

Catwoman Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I’m sorry this new job doesn’t sound like it’s what you’re looking for — I hope the next one will be better. One good thing about this latest one is that you’re getting good interview practice, and you don’t even want the job, so it’s ok if you made some mistakes you can learn from, so you will be even more polished in the next one (that might mean a lot more to you.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I'm glad you were able to get a real sense of the job and decide if it was right for you or not. I hope the next one is a better fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kassia Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Thanks for the second update. I'm glad you are able to step back and look at the positives - feeling better with your current job and good about the fact that you aren't desperate for a job now and can wait until you find the best fit. Hang in there - job hunting is tough and then suddenly it all works out for the best sometimes. You just have to be patient - easier said than done, I know. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Your mood sounds so much better. You sound in a much better frame of mind. Good for you for realizing you don't have to take the first job you can get. Best wishes on the future interviews 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grace Hopper Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I am really proud of you - it takes wisdom and maturity to listen to those intuitive feelings to know when something’s not going to be right. Many people would just plunge right along and then have to disentangle themselves later. The right job is coming! We will all rejoice with you when it finds you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KungFuPanda Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 What a roller coaster. I hope you find a better position. I’m considering jumping to another job myself but I haven’t gone so far as to set up an interview. I’ll just live vicariously through you for a while.

klmama Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Hoping you get the job with your former classmate where the people are wonderful! A long drive lends itself well to audio books, singing at the top of your lungs, prayer, hands-free phone calls, and just thinking.

Soror Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Thanks for the update. I hope the job with the former classmate ends up as wonderful as it sounds. I'm so mad on your behalf about them taking the new grad and training them when they wouldn't bother to do the same for you. As I said before I can only think it is ageism or maybe nepotism. You need out of there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I am glad to hear your update, Ellen. I am praying that the dream job works. For that long commute, would you be able to take the train? I find it makes a big difference if I can do my own thing on a train rather than driving.

She seems nice, but really green. And I happened to see this packet they have her working through ... a well-thought out plan of training her on everything she needs to know with lots of scaffolding. And I was pissed. I never got that much hand-holding or scaffolding, not even as a student. So many holes in my training that she won't have. Oh, wow!
