So some of you may remember my recent trials and tribulations with my toxic boss who wanted me to fire an employee for no valid reason. Well I have been looking for a new job and have a first round interview tomorrow for an amazing job with an amazing company and I just want people to pray for me. I’m afraid it won’t work out and I’m going to be stuck in my shitty hell hole job.
Edit: Thank you for the kind words and encouragement everysmurf
Be careful because they may have read the story of Aeschylus, an ancient greek playwright who was killed by a falling turtle that had been dropped by an Eagle who had confused Aeschylus’s shiny, bald head for a rock. This is apparently a true historical account and golden eagles in greece do kill turtles by dropping them onto rocks.
Holy crap just got a call from the company I’ve applied for a job at and have made it to first round interview. Got picked out 81 applicants as one of 10 for phone interviews, Somehow made it through the psychometric testing now just gotta make it through the first round interview. Hello imposter syndrome my old friend i wish i didn’t have to talk to you again.
So a job that I applied for back when work shit was hitting the fan a few weeks ago, called me this week and I had a phone interview with them yesterday. Some how made it through even though I felt like a complete imposter. Today I have to do a psychometric test and not sure what to expect. The company is one that is a ethical employer and has a solid reputation, so i think the psychometric test is to make sure I would be a good cultural fit before the actual first round interview. Arggggggh so nervous.
News flash: most couples have zero in common with each other. Common interests are great and all, but they don’t make a relationships. Shared experiences and building interests together is really what counts. I would say there is probably a good reason why this bar guy and his friend are not together, despite how much they have in common. There’s also the societal notion that women and men can’t just be friends which is completely not true. Don’t get in your head about this.
Anyone got a recommendation for a place that does testing for a possible adult autism diagnosis? Have always felt there was something different about me and struggled to connect with people and make and keep friendships and keen to know if the cause is in fact something like autism.
Other people are not you. People learn at different rates. Maybe they have a learning disability that you don’t know about or maybe they struggle with anxiety and really slow because they are nervous. Also it’s a new job for them so it’s understandable that they have to get used to a new way of doing things. Patience and empathy are what’s required here.
