A Glimmer of Hope

So. I received an e-mail asking me for an interview. This at first was very exciting. But then I got nervous. I realized I probably need a portfolio with some samples of my work it in. I am suddenly very overwhelmed at the possibility of this interview. But then I stop myself. . .

Do not let yourself get overwhelmed in the moment. If you are asked back for an interview, take a few minutes to think... Hey, they saw something in me that they like... your searching has not been a waste. You have a real shot to actually get a job here and that is exciting. All of the hard work you have been putting forth is finally paying off.

Do not forget to congratulate yourself. Especially if you have been working at something for a long time. Sure its not a job, or an offer, but it is one step closer to what you want. Your final destination!

Do not get over confident. Yes it is good to be grateful, but also don't take this moment to get cocky. Do acknowledge that you have done good hard work, do not stop yourself from continueing that hard work. Brush up on your information about the company, get questions ready to ask the interviewer, and continue to send your resume out to other companies. Do not put all your eggs in one basket.

I am excited that I got an interview, but that still means hard work ahead. Stick with me.
