This is to make myself do something.
I hate calling people. Hate. Especially to possibly be shot down. I honestly don’t know how I’m going to react if I get rejected. Sometimes, I just start crying, and I didn’t know until the tears started that the conversation was a crying-risk.
I can not emphasize this enough: Calling is good.
Good for you, good for the job hunt, pretty much just good all around. I know it’s hard, but try to remember: if things don’t work out, it could easily be a blessing in disguise.
I recently started a new job, and I love it here. In the process of finding a job, I thought I had found where I belonged. I was wrong. At the time, I took it as a major disappointment that things didn’t work out. Now, I couldn’t be happier. I also found out a few things after the fact that made me extra glad about the way things worked out.
You’ve got people in your corner. Just remember that, and you oughta be alright.
