An employment opportunity has presented itself on the horizon. With my current job slowly, but surely coming to a end I need to find other employment. The idea of finding another job is not something I'm looking forward to for a couple of reasons.
1) My current job is about as cushy as it gets.
2) The pay and benefits are good considering what I actually do.
3) This has been a great learning experience and a great job to add to a resume.
The job that I am applying for is with an organization that I have applied for a couple of other jobs. I would like to work for them because of their involvement in helping the community. They offer several services that I believe my crisis counseling background would be well suited for.
The possible downside? I've heard from a reliable source that they are looking for someone outgoing. Now... I can talk about whatever on this blog. Most of you who read are faceless names. Those of you who I do know and who know me... Well... let's put it this way. I don't know that outgoing is typically a word used to describe me. I can be outgoing once I know a person and feel comfortable. But to be outgoing just out of the gates is not something I'm accustomed to doing.
I don't have the job yet. And obviously pay and benefits are something I will take into consideration. Yet, I'm worried about whether or not this 'outgoing' aspect of the job is something I can do.
My confidence is only recently starting to get back to a place where I feel capable with just about any situation.
I would say wish me luck, but it's not the interview that I'm nervous about. It's possibly getting the job and not being to actually do it.Labels: confidence, introspection, job |
