I am not one to ask for vibes often, and have been thinking about this... But guys, I need your vibes, prayers, good wishes, finger crossed, lid candles, whatever you can send my way I take it


Here is the situation: After been unemployed since February, I am in the middle of an Interview process of what could be a wonderful for me
.
If you believe in destiny... this story will make you believe a bit more
. This will be a bit long, but I want to share what happen

This Company, a GREAT company, solid, always growing, multinational Company which I just happen to already love found me and sent me and email asking if I would be interested in applying for a bi-lingual position Portuguese/English. Well, the position was not that good, and I know that paying would be much less than what my last job paid, but since things are pretty hard out there, I decided to go for it.
Well, they came back to men and were interested in having me pursuing the application process, for which in a large Company like that it takes days of back and forth conversations, and applications, and questionnaires, etc. After all that I received an email saying that they would like to schedule a phone interview with me, and what time would be good for me - my answer was any time. This was on a Wednesday, I believe...
Comes Monday and I hear nothing from them... I think it's weird, but I am thinking they are still going to send it.
So, Here I am, at Petco, buying kitty litter, on Monday, my phone with barely any battery, when the guy calls me - "Is Carolina there? I am so and so from this and that Company calling you for our phone interview". At that moment I am like FREAK! CR*P! SERIOUSLY!
Well, I told him I never got the email with the schedule, and it must been caught in my yahoo junk mail, and asked how long he had for me - he said 1/2 hour, but we can reschedule for next week...
CR*P
Me: I am at the store, and I don't have my laptop in front of me, so this interview is not going to be as professional as I would like, but I would like to give it a shot at it today, if you are up to it... Let me just walk back to my car and lock the door, then we can talk, how about that?
He said ok!

We started to talk and when we got to my past experience, he actually thought I would do better in a much higher position - asked me if I spoke Spanish, which I do, told me to go to the site and check the position and get back to him - If I like it, He would like to refer me to it!!!!!
So, I checked, The position FITS ME LIKE A GLOVE!!! I have TONS of experience on it, and it is as though it was made for me!!! It is the perfect job for me!

So, I got back to him, and applied on the website again... Then went through a long phone interview that went WONDERFUL

and now..... this Wednesday.... I have the Live interview with the board!!!!


Ai!!!! AI AI AI AI AI!!!! Destiny - GOT to be.... Everything went a little crooked, all wrong, to become right, not counting they came to me...

I SO want this job you guys! It s not like I want it because it is just a dream job... I mean, this job was made for me - it is what I LOVE to do... I is PERFECT for me... It involves Brasil, It involves taking care of customers... I KNOW for a FACT I can do a wonderful job on this position.

I am so sorry for the LOOOOONG post, but if you can spare a prayer, or two, or three, or more.... or vibes.......
Send them my way.... I really want this, really really really.
I need to do well on this interview I NEED to....

Thank you!! Yeah! The Company is very well known, I also learned a lot about the position itself on the last interview... I will study a lot before I go, for sure.

It does sound almost too good to be true! But these things happen - I got a job once through meeting an old friend on the train, when I was out of work, and that position set me on my course for life. So go for it with all the confidence you have, and lots and lots of good luck vibes coming from here.

I know, right? That is what I was thinking.... After all this time... Going through SO MUCH of a hard time - I mean, not being hired because of not having an exact experience or being overqualified for a lot of positions... A lot of the companies in Sales Management wanting to hire you for free... Then a REAL, PERFECT opportunity literally knocks on my door... Through mistakes, junk mail, dying phones... It would be so unfair for God to just show it to me and then say it - Ops, just kidding!
We will see.... All I know is that for what I read on the job description, what I know about the company, and what I was told during my interview, I can do a GREAT job at it. The position is to do what I thrive doing, what I shine doing... I am good at it; that I am certain of. I have done it for the last 10 years and I can do it blind folded... LOVE it!

The one problem I have it, is that I haven't worked for almost a year, and being home for all that time has lowered my confidence a lot
That is what I am afraid of... I am not the same shiny bright person I was a year ago anymore... And I NEED to get that back for the interview. I need to resurrect that person ASAP! That Carolina needs to come back and needs to go with me...
God, When I was a Sales Manager I never went to a meeting that I wasn't successful.... I never went to a Job Interview that I didn't get the job.
And NOW I NEED THAT! But I am soooo afraid of not being that person anymore....
Being alone in the couch day in and day out not doing anything does that to you.... Applying for hundreds of jobs and not getting a response back does that to you...
I know I KNOW the country is going through a terrible time and all that... but my confidence is kind of low....

I don't know...
This whole thing is weird... Even though my confidence is low I know for a fact I can do this job WELL - VERY WELL.

So please please just send vibes that my personal confidence can shine through and they can see that....
Thanks guys, and sorry for yet another looooong post!

Good luck!

Dottie is looking for a job, too, so I know what you're going through.

A real confidence booster for me is to exercise. Anything to get the juices flowing, even running in place. Start out before you even exercise by breathing deep (in though your nose, out through your mouth) and telling yourself, through the whole exercise that you can do this, you are confident you can do this, you are no less than the other people doing this. Do it as many times a day as you can.
Good luck, I hope this is the one.
