after years of working in service/hospitality for shit pay (literal back breaking work for a clumsy gyal like me), what I’ve been manifesting has happened and I got an offer today, sooner than they said I’d hear back. It’s been a really grueling experience trying to find a position in this market, and I felt so behind my former classmates, for whom the jobs just seemed to land in-lap. But now I have one too. I was afraid I bumbled through my second round, but it worked. I’m more than rusty on the kind of intensive research and writing I was doing in school that I’ll have to whip back out for this particular job, but their training program is also intensive and thorough and I even get somewhat of a one-on-one mentoring relationship built into that. I can’t wait to sit down and use my mind and education, and I’m praying that my imposter syndrome won’t wreck me too hard. but i’ll be paid more, get to rest my body/sleep better, and take a huge step towards my longer career trajectory. it hasn’t sunk in but i think more than anything i feel relief. Now to go thrift some business casual tops because I really and truly have nothing. also, what do I pack for lunch??
