Today, I had two interviews with places that relate to my Human Services field. However, it's no big thing, but they are both in two different populations as one works with individuals with disabilities and the other involves working with adults who struggle with mental illness and/or other co-occurring disorders. I think they're both amazing programs it's just that my degree literally consists of working with children and their families. I chose Human Services, though, because it's a broad field with a variety of careers and populations to cover should a person burn out of the position their in. Outside of all of that, though, I was definitely anxious about these interviews because I haven't done one in years and even so it was only one that I've ever done. I felt pretty confident once the nervousness passed and I think they both went well. Honestly, even if I don't get offered a position for either place I feel good to have stepped out of my comfort zone to get to place of putting in those applications and to have been offered an interview in the first place. This weekend was TERRIBLE and caused me so much emotional turmoil that I almost didn't want to go through with today. I am glad that I decided to put the bullshit aside and put my best foot forward because I did really need this. I needed this for my self-esteem and confidence boost. I just needed this for so many reasons and, even though my heart is still recovering from the weekend, I feel more prepared to take on the world than I was before.
