I recently moved from Atlanta, where I had an incredible job with a company who shall remain nameless, in Marketing. I was there for six years. I established incredible friendships and working relationships, and was promoted three times without even seeking to be promoted. My work spoke for itself and people needed me.
So why am I having such a hard time finding a good job here in Dallas? I ended up taking a five month contract position because I wasn't able to find anything permanent and now I am on the job hunt again. I've been on three interviews in the past two weeks and no call backs. One interview went incredibly well and the hiring manager really seemed to like me. I was there on Thursday, now it is Tuesday. Is it too early to be worried that I haven't heard anything back? I am starting to become a neurotic mess! I need a job! It isn't a money issue right now, but more of a, I need to find my place issue.
I am such a mental mess right now...

Hey Nestra!
Hang in there. You will find a job that suits you soon. Stop the neuroticism (is that a word?). It sounds corny but ... you have to like yourself before anyone else is going to like you. Not that you don't, I'm just saying ... Think about that strong, confident, funny, happy person that you were in your Atlanta job and show those interviewers THAT person. They will be all about you, I promise.
"Your place" will follow.
So smile, or I am going to have to go all Buffy on you!
Thanks girlie girl. I probably deserve a nice roundhouse kick to the ass right about now. Hugs and all that. Miss you!
