going into june..
Since late August, I have the busiest I think I have ever been and the most hard working. I spent 8 months learning, preparing for, and striving towards being a dental assistant. Now, school is over. I'm out on my own. And so far I haven't really had any leads. Is it me? or is it just coincidence? I was fully prepared to go dropping off resumes today and trying to make people aware of me -- but sometime between leaving here and mom's house realized that I don't have any experience looking for work. I have worked.. but not really in a "real world" sort of way. I suddenly felt overwhelmed and no longer felt confident in my ability to find work. I felt like there was something weird about dropping off resumes at places that I wasn't even sure needed employees... but that's how it works, isn't? or else, I guess, you call around.. I did a little of that, too. one office said that they might be hiring and took down my number. I told them I would drop off my resume. after that I started feeling a little better. I have a few places in mind where I think I might drop off my resume. I don't know why I'm so worried about putting myself out there. it can't get much worse than it is, being unemployed and having no money. It seems like this is just how life goes. You encounter things that make you uncomfortable or take you outside of your normal comfort and you suddenly feel panicked and unsure of yourself. but then, after you've delved in and gotten your hands dirty, you feel more confident and capable. I've felt like that several times over the past few years. Having kids, living on my own, having to do things by myself, going back to school.. so many things. Just when I start to feel confident with one thing another challenge comes up that shakes me. I'm sure I'm going to be fine. this is just a rocky patch that I have to push through.
