It's been busy the last couple of weeks with many things going on. I applied for three positions in the Galway VEC. I was invited to interview for two of the positions. The interviews were last Thursday. I got word today that I did not get the job(s).
The applications were a form document which recorded much of the details of my qualifications but I included a copy of my CV and reference letters also. I did not learn how many applicants there were, or how many made the "short-list" for interview.
The interview panel was made up of three people. Two of them were officials associated with the VEC and one was the principal/director of the school in which the advertised position was available. Therefore the panels for both jobs had two people in common and one was different for each post. Both interviews took place in the same building.
It is a long time since I interviewed for anything so I do hope to get feedback from the panel to help me in improving my interview skills. But I did feel good about my chances for one of the positions, and I am particularly interested in learning from the panel about my performance in that interview.
After approximately eight weeks living at home I have been invited to interview for two jobs. In my book that is not bad going. So, being positive and looking forward to the "right" position coming up is what interests me now.
In the days when I was chasing acting jobs, rejection rolled off me like water off a duck's back. This isn't the case today - But It Will Be Tomorrow. I have a strong back.
It is human to question things and it is human to be disappointed and it is also human to get up and carry on. My position is out there and I will find it and it will find me. Perhaps more "water has to be shed off this duck's back."
And, if so, it will be.
