I recently applied for a job and from 17 applicants, I was one of seven shortlisted.
Interview details were shared and whilst daunted, I was ready to accept the challenge.
As interview day drew close, I was tempted to withdraw, but they say do something that scares you, and it did.
To have to go to a different place, meet different people, be open, engaging, professional and mindful that you are promoting what you can offer, do and be in a competitive scenario.
Tasks, exercises, group discussion, socialising, presentation and final interview.
Down to the last two…. in the process the realisation that I still had more to give, plans to bring to fruition and student success to celebrate.
I’ve been scared enough for 2017.
No one was appointed, but the experience has not been in vain! π€π€ππ
