Cover Letter Writing III: From Writing to the Interview

The dinner time movie for the boys today: Tangled. Pretty damn good. I like the big bad: Mother! (She knows best.)

* * * * * * * * * 

I got called in for an interview for one of the jobs I applied to. Not sure of the date yet, but I'm excited. I thought too much time had lapsed and that I did not get it.

I want it pretty bad. It would be a step up for me...along with  well a lot of other benefits and perks I really like about the position. It would also be a fresh start, post-separation and pending divorce. And yet, I feel frightened. Too many changes at once. I just moved. And I would have to start my boys at another new day care.

Most of my fears revolve around them, actually. I so want to do right by them. And yet, I know my current job won't take me where I want to go. I always knew it was a stepping stone. A big one actually. And here I am on the precipice of another big career step...and I'm afraid. The known always feels safer. More secure. Even if it's not.

Despite my fears, I plan to have an awesome interview and get this fucking job. That's the fucking attitude I need!

A change in attitude, like anything else, requires intention and practice. Positive self-talk and affirmations can be a powerful tool.

And....I would like to reiterate that I AM, in fact, an awesome cover letter writer.
