I got a call last Thursday from a staffing agency based in
New Jersey. They wanted to submit my resume for an interesting position with an
important cause for good pay. I said “Of course” and immediately brushed it off.
I had no expectations of hearing anything back except “No.” Sitting in my car
after the call I realized this is what giving up looks like.
No one was more surprised than me when I got a call on
Friday when I got the gig. I remember thinking, “Wait. Is this allowed?”
Because the universe has a sick sense of humor, I finally got a call from one
staffing agency that kept me busy last time but let me down this go around.
They wanted me to do an interview next week. The same week I was supposed to
start the new temp gig.
There’s a lot of training that still has to happen and I
only vaguely understand what’s going on but I really like the cause and change
the nonprofit is trying to do. It’s something I can absolutely get behind but I
lack a lot of relevant experience. I
was pretty shocked when my manager gave a suggestion that this could be permanent.
I think the interview might be helping my cause. I have no expectations going
in but it would be nice to have more time to think about my situation before
things went from a depressing 0 to an immediate 60.
At this point, I’m just hoping for something good that I won’t
royally screw up.
