So the last month has been a serious emotional rollercoaster. Searching for jobs, going on interviews (dressed to impress of course) and generally getting my hopes up. Then there was yesterday's interview.... I fell for a job interview that was actually for selling insurance. So, I wasted 2 hours of my time discussing this job, supposedly being selected for the next round and being generally cohersed to accept this "dynamic" job. The worst part? They almost had me convinced! I am not that person. I do not go to people's houses and sell them insurance! I do not like walking into new places and meeting new people! Who are we kidding? I don't trust people, nor do I like people.
I have officially decided to forget that and to remain loyal to staying at home and collecting unemployment. You can fool me a few times, but then I will refuse to participate and get caught again. I'm not as dumb as I may look!
So now my focus is my husband and kids and getting healthy and fit. Now I have to figure out how to not be bored when my husband has jobs to go do.
Oh and as an added bonus, an hour after writing this I received a call back from that insurance job. They really liked me and wanted me to come back for a final interview!! I had to explain to him that I was not comfortable with the position and going to people's houses. Of course he wished me good luck on my future job search. Having to turn down a final interview absolutely killed the go-getter in me!! Arrgh! That bothered me all night. However, as much as it flattered my ego, I cannot pay $400 at the time of hire and then another $600 for a total of $1000 to get licsenced to sell insurance!! I shouldn't have to pay to get a job. That's ridiculous!
I think I almost could have taken on the job, aside from the money thing, it was the location change that made me the most uncomfortable. I can meet new people, I can discuss insurance and blah, blah, blah; but I have to do that out of an office. I can even travel to different offices. I guess the office setting is my security. Besides, how unsafe would it be for me to go alone to someone's house? This would be evening and weekend appointments. Not cool. I know I made the right decision, but it still kills me to back down from a challenge. I would have been so good at that job....
Gotta keep going on, pick my head up and not stress over this.
