last night was so stressful! i had a job interview that went ok, but then driving home i really thought about the job and thought if i wanted it. Its a job working with people with mental disabilities and helping them to become more independent, which is great and would be rewarding, however i really want to work with children who have autism, this job is very far from it. I was scared that i wouldn't get another job interview, however, i realized it was my first interview and i shouldn't settle for a job because it would be easy. I have a offer to work at my camp this summer which gives me three months to keep finding a job. I took a big risk, i emailed the company i had my interview at telling them this job seems great, but it just isnt what i really want to do. It was so hard to decide and i was so scared i wont get another job offer. I have wanted to work with autism for so long and i am not ready to throw that out yet. I am proud of myself for not settling.
o and PS i sent my resume to 10 companies working with children with autism, and two have already emailed me back saying they will contact me in july for a interview. :) One company which is in Boston, whch the commute will suck, but it seems like a amazing company that is worth it, said they were impressed with my passion and excitement for this field of work , which is the two most important aspects in a employee they look for. Yay me haha
