"I have confidence in... oh, help."
Jan. 27th, 2011 05:49 pm*gulp*
I have a job interview tomorrow.
Actually, I feel like I'll be under a very fine microscope because he says the entire staff will be meeting me and asking questions, because they all weigh in on the people that get hired (since they all work together closely on their projects).
I'm nervous.
I haven't had an interview in months and months. My chest feels all tight with the anxiety of it all. I know it's only pressure that I'm putting upon myself, but... there's just so much riding on this.
For over a year now (since my Unemployment benefits ran out), I've been living off the money I saved up while I had a job, before the layoffs were final. Unfortunately, that money's almost all gone now. So I really need a job. It's getting to that dire sort of point where tough decisions and discussions will have to be made if I don't find something soon. (Not that I haven't had to make tough decisions and allowances already. *snort* But it's even worse now, and it worries me.)
On top of that, I've been attending school for web design, and this is a web design position, so it could be of great benefit to me to get this job. I could learn a lot and expand my skills. But... I'm so new to it all, I'm afraid I don't have enough skills built up yet and that the sites I created for my classes won't be professional enough to get me the job. I only have a few sites to show them, and they're not especially 'businesslike' in style.
Then again, the guy knows I'm still a student, and he still wants to interview me. So maybe that's something positive. We spoke on the phone for about 20 minutes today, and he knows I've only been doing this since July. And he said that the people on his staff have a variety of skill levels, so he didn't sound terribly concerned.
And if I don't get it, I've already applied for other jobs and there's always a chance I may hear from one of them.
But I'm still nervous. I can't seem to help it.
*trying to breathe through it*
