When It Rains, It Pours

Just when I was beginning to feel discouraged at my lack of job interviews, I got a call from one of the jobs I applied for. This happened while I was on my way to New Mexico, so Tim took a message and called me on my cell phone to tell me the good news. I then played phone tag with the lady who had called me and finally was able to talk to her the next day, after visiting the art museum in Albuquerque. I was afraid that she wouldn’t want to wait for me to get back into town, but she sounded enthusiastic about meeting me and we agreed that I would come to see her the morning after I got back. So I met her yesterday and the interview went well, but it was only an introductory interview and she said she’d be calling a couple of people back for a further interview and to meet with the CEO of the organization. I do hope she calls me back – this is a job I’m really interested in and I hope she thinks the interview went as well as I thought it did.

Then today I had an interview for another job. It was a tough sell for me because the job is in an area that I have no experience in, but they do provide training. My interview went quite well, I thought, so we’ll see how it turns out. And actually before I left for that interview, I got a phone call inviting me to an interview for a third job. That interview will take place on Monday morning, and I’m really excited about it.

It seems that my persistence at sending out resumes and letters is finally paying off! What a relief.
