A Tiny Speck of Light
Two weeks ago as I rolled up and down through all the ad job sites I could find, row after row of jobs seemed to mock me with “not for you.”
I had almost reached that place where you begin to wonder if you’ll ever be employable again –well past that “picked last” feeling of younger years. I was on the verge of desperation and just when I finally decided to give in to the thought that perhaps a career change was in store, a thin glimmer of light pierced the dark corners of my depressed mind.
I received a call from a well-known-top-behemoth-of-a-company inviting me to apply for an opened position on the “client-side.” I am not talking a million-dollar company big…I am talking billions mega size.
As I eagerly read the job description I am hopeful and utter a mantra, “let this be for me, let this be for me.” Ok, wait, it dawns on me as I type it that it sounds pathetic. But hey, I was desperate.
The description fit like a glove and soon I was picturing myself in this new position. I seemed to have wowed my caller with my witty responses, my insightful experience and my eager interest.
I hope to hear back this week and perhaps my next entry is good news…but if not be ready for a hail of either angry obscenities or pathetic depression.
