My life's about to change

As of 2:45 this afternoon, my life has changed big time.
I accepted a full time job.
My first full time job since my late 20's.
I've been a SAHM for many years now and although I've had a variety of part time jobs over the years, being a mom was always my priority.
I'm not gonna lie, being a mom is still my priority, but the kids have all flown the nest.
And so, I'm back in the work force!

Looking for work after years of being a SAHM and working part time jobs is ROUGH.
It really made me feel like crap when I would apply for jobs that I KNOW I can do and then I don't even get a call.
Not even a single peep.
Then when I did get calls, I would find myself interviewing with a 20 year old kid.
It was not very much fun.

I would look at most jobs and think "I could definitely do that job" but I don't know how to prove that I can do that job.  On paper I am not very impressive.

Anyway, someone hired me and I said yes.
And next time I am looking for a job, I will have something at least a little more impressive on my resume.
But hopefully I will love this job and they will love me and I won't be looking for anything anytime soon.

Now I'm trying to come to grips with the idea that I will soon be wearing "business casual" every day and leaving the house by 7:30 a.m.

Yay

Kinda

P.S. Who am I kidding? OF COURSE they will love me.  Ha!

  3. They will love you! Working stinks but pay checks are awesome. I hope you love it. Congratulations!

    Also, I got fired from a job right after I graduated college and I looked for a job for a year. I had about 100 interviews and never got even one job offer. So I was good enough to get an interview and then everybody hated me. That was a major hit to the ol' self esteem! At least you got hired! 😂

    1. That is awful! I already have no self esteem, that experience would do me in!
      So I guess I'll just be glad I got hired! 😂
