The change in my diet has helped to improve several aspects of my wellbeing so far. I have shed 19lbs since January 19th and this loss has helped to improve my back problems. My mood has been uncharacteristically upbeat lately. The mood improvements often feel somewhat alien to me. I will be bopping along in a good mood and then have to stop and ponder what is gong on and well, it just feels odd at times to feel good.
In other news, I hope that my financial situation will soon improve. I have two interviews coming up. One was scheduled for today around noon, but my contact person at the organization emailed me yesterday to postpone our meeting until Monday due to the bad weather that was predicted for Friday. The interview was scheduled back on Tuesday and I’ve been on pins and needles since then in anticipation. Now, I have longer to go before the interview actually happens. I have an interview with a construction company on Tuesday for an administrative position. The call for that interview came in today. It feels nice to have 2 interviews scheduled. The more interviews that I have, the more likely I will be to get hired somewhere...or so I hope.
The first interview on Monday is the one that I really hope will work out. The organization is a non-profit that works to raise funds for research on histiocytosis, a rare disease, offers support to people afflicted with the disease and helps to promote awareness of the disease. The position title is “development associate” and the entry-level job requires a number of skills that I have experience in thanks to my various office jobs and my experience with my town’s Halloween parade committee. Having a bachelors degree will also help. I think that this position would offer a lot more room for growth in the future and could actually come to utilize my psychology degree.
The interview with the construction company is for an office related position and I cannot really remember the details any more. I think that I may have found that job on CareerBuilder.com back a couple of weeks ago. I am not nearly as excited about this interview as I am the other one. This job does not sound as though it will be unpleasant, the office is not too far from home and at least it would pay the bills.
