Well the high of my interview didn't last long. Yesterday I got the dreaded "thanks but no thanks" e-mail for the Flight Attendant position. A few deep breaths and a few tears of disappointment and I'm moving on.
It's funny to think that this whole thing will one day be a little part in the story of my entire life- "I had interviewed to be a Flight Attendant, but..."
As corny as it sounds I can't help but feeling that my life is already all written in sort of a ghostly outline and laid out in front of me, all I have to do is live and the reality will fill it in - I can't stop it, my life simply is going toward whatever lies ahead. That's not to say that I can just sit back and let life happen, but every job I apply for and don't get, every interview I bomb or do well at will push me further towards a future that will inevitably arrive. That future may be marriage and kids, it may be the career of my dreams, or even never realizing my full potential. Whatever the case, each and every thing I do now will lead to something down the road.
My lovely Sarah - I'm sorry to hear about the rejection. I remember every single letter, call, and non-contact I had when I was job hunting my first year here in Madison and it sucks. It was, without a doubt, the hardest time I have ever been through in my life. Forget schooling, parents divorce, diabetes - job hunting was THE WORST. I will say it was the most character building time in my life, but I just wanted to yell "I get it already! I'm humble, lesson learned, can I please just land a job now?!" I only disagree with you not reaching your full potential. That I know you will do. And all I know is whoever does hire you is going to get the most hard working eager employee in the history of their company. Head up chica :).
