Well, I’ve had two interviews so far. The company I interviewed with yesterday called me last night to politely tell me that they had an overwhelming number of qualified candidates. I wavered a little in self confidence, but was able to pull it together and face the next one this morning. I was a little calmer, not being as green, and once I relaxed, it didn’t seem half as bad as I’d expected.
I have to do the long wait now, hoping that the phone will ring with great news. It has been interesting to see the bankers who were discombobulated last week when they didn’t receive offers, now try to jump on the consulting bandwagon. I can’t say that I blame them, as there is no use staying on a sinking ship. Many times this week, I’ve been glad that I worked all of my options and that I always cultivated Plan B. A lot of people are having to come up with a new option on the fly, and doing this when you’re in a panic and feeling kicked by the world, may not be the best choice. Many people are facing rejection for the first time and it can break you. Keep it together, people!
