July 23, 2020 – The Interview

Soooooo, I had an interview today!

As many of you know, I ended my 13 year career at AT&T last December. It was bittersweet. On the one hand, I knew it was only a minor setback and that I would recover quickly, but on the other hand, what if I don’t? Uncertainty sank in and I had periods of just wondering if things would turn around for me.

Then, COVID hit. That is when I realized I was not supposed to work right away. I was right where I was “supposed” to be…being the support system my girls needed educationally as we navigate through e-learning and everything else that was being thrown at us. I dived right into being a home-school teacher. While some days were challenging, the entire journey has been a blessing. I got to be with my girls…conference call free. And there is nothing like being with someone where you are 100% present, no distractions. #Winning

As COVID numbers are increasing again and us making the decision to do e-learning in the Fall, I had given up on my career and the thought that I could have one right now. Then, an email from a job that I applied for months ago came in and interviews were being scheduled. #SayWhatGod

Fast forward to today, interview day! I think it went very well! While the questions were complex, I feel like I gave them the very best of me. Now, usually when I think I did well I did bad and vice versa, but something about getting off of this meeting had me worry-free. I felt like I was already a part of the team. Now…I wait!

The beauty through all of it, even if I don’t get picked, I will be ok. I will not doubt myself or my ability to do the job. But what I will do, is know that it was not meant for me…because whatever is meant for me…is for me!
