I was really really hoping that I would be one of the people let go. I could get paid a severance package and collect unemployment while I searched for another job. It seemed PERFECT. So I waited and waited and waited…
This is how I was feeling towards the end of maternity leave.
About One month to go before I have to go back to work. I see an add on Craigslist for a trainer for Office 07 and Office 10. This is something I can TOTALLY DO because Ive done it.
I submit my resume and cover letter and just try to forget about it. That day I get an email asking to schedule a time for a phone interview. We schedule and a few days later Im on the phone interviewing. My experience so far has been that for every job Ive interviewed for I have gotten. So I feel PRETTY confident. We schedule a face to face interview and I am also to provide a mock presentation. I go to Target and buy a new blouse as none of my current ones fit...THANKS BOOBIES! And I dont bother practicng my presentation because I sat through it sooo many times and presented the software myself even.
I go to the interview and I think it went REALLY REALLY well. Im charming, Im honest, I look and feel good AND I find out there is contract position available. This could be EXACTLY what I was looking for! Now its time for my presentation. We go to the class room. I set up...its awkward as we wait for my PC to load. And then I start, then I stop, then I stutter, then I get lost, THEN one of the interviewers just leaves...then I ask to start over, and I do, then I get the ball rolling...They stop me. UGH!!! It-was-HORRIBLE! The interviewer tells me that Im not the worst that he has seen. AWESOME!
But I dont lose hope completely. I figure the interview will possibly save me, and maybe they will give me the benefit of the doubt and take a risk on me. Welp, today I was supposed to hear either way, and I heard nothing. I possibly screwed myself by being over-confident.
And I found out how much day care costs...Yikes...
