After 7 months of job hunting I finally had my first ever interview on Wednesday at a law firm for immigration services. I applied for an entry level position. Everything went great. They seemed to really like me and I was sure I was going to be considered. I live 5 minutes away from them, the attorney (the one who interviewed me) and I went to the same high school (except he graduated in 1997 and I graduated 2 years ago). Although I did not nail very well the interview questions he reassured me not to worry about them because he knows I have never been employed, and plus the job I applied for was entry level. I was interviewed by 2 people and one of them was also a crazy cat lady like me lol and she seemed to really like me as well. After the interview he wrote down my name, and said "You're the first person I interview, and I'm doing interviews all week. we will keep in touch HOPEFULLY by Friday". When he wrote down my name I assumed that maybe he was making a list of people he may consider? Now today, Friday comes and I did not get a call. Maybe because he has not made a decision, or he still interviewed a few others today?.. Or maybe I'm just not goin to get the job because there are better candidates? I'm actually really bummed out because I was really looking forward for this job. I know I shouldn't draw in to conclusions just yet. After all he is an attorney and may be busy all the time. I guess it bums me out because after looking for a job since may and never even been given a chance to be interviewed I finally got a chance on Wednesday and everything seemed reassuring. *sigh* I've been stressing so much looking for a job, and it's really hard finding one nowadays. I'm gonna wait until Monday to see if maybe I'll get the call back. I'm still holding on to a little bit of hope. Have any of you ever been told "we'll keep in touch by (day)" and not haven't been called the exact day but still have gotten the job? I could really use a little encouragement.
Also, I need to find a job as soon as possible before Christmas because if I don't, my parents will force me to go out of town with them for 2 weeks and leave my cat behind. I seriously do not want to leave her alone for 2 weeks. I'm very attached to her and I worry way too much, I feel like I can not be away from her for that long. I'll start to panic and think that something horrible may happen to her while I'm gone. That's another thing that makes me stress out even more.
