#18. Apply for full time jobs

Along with my epiphany [that I shouldn't wait around while life passes me by] earlier in the month- brought on by a slight panic over turning 25- came the realization that before anything can get better, I have to take the risk of putting myself out there.

*aka*

If I wanted a better, full-time job in the field I am educated in, I would have to...

APPLY.

Ok, doesn't sound scary- and certainly not enough to draw out such a paralyzing fear, but to a slightly introverted book worm like me- it can take a whole morning to build up enough confidence just to drop off a resume.

After all, I may be stubborn- but I also get nervous in many social situations.

[what can I say? I'm an enigma.]

Trust me. Applying for jobs is a ★big deal★

So when a friend I have in the field let on to a possible opening at her center I pulled on my big-girl panties, painted my nails, printed out my resume and drove over to talk to the center's director.

Much less drama than I envisioned.

Maybe the key to getting through these stressful facts-of-life is less about preparation and more about just doing it.

Who knows?

Now it's a waiting game for my current job to come to an end and an interview can be set up for this new place (hopefully!).

Wish me luck!!

On a further note:

I am fully aware that placing all my hopes on one, single, job opportunity is ... not the brightest.

I am dropping off my resume at another center on Monday!

☆This number on my list is one that, though officially checked off- should never be thought 'done' & should be continually pursued until such time that my goal [a full time job] is achieved!☆
