So, I recently started this job, well, it's been almost 2 months now, and I'm liking it so far. I've been pretty tired and busy with it so I really haven't dedicated time to writing like I like to because I'm either working or kind of just resting about. Anyway, my post is going to really talk about this encouragement and positivity that came from both my supervisor and director... I worked overnights Monday to Wednesday this past week and my supervisor comes in the office and asks what my degree was in and if I had checked my emails. Long story short, she tells me to apply for this counselor position we have that just opened up like the day before. One, I've never applied internally before with a job and I LOVED THAT for some reason. Two, I didn't even meet the 6 months minimum requirement to apply but she encouraged me to do so anyway and then when the Director arrived for the morning, she told her about how I was applying for the position and then they said they'd both sign off on it. That made my heart smile SO BIG! To FINALLY get to the point (my bad), had my supervisor never said anything, I would have NEVER had the nerve to even shoot my shot. THEN, to top that boost of confidence, the Director was trying to think of roundabout ways as to how I would potentially obtain the position since I'm not even close to the 6 months needed. THAT FELT SO GOOD IN MY SOUL! I know it might seem like a small experience, but it meant the WORLD, to me, to have that kind of backing. It melted my heart to know that these two had all this faith in me to go for this position when I lacked ANY kind of enthusiasm to go for it to begin with for myself. They were so set that I take that chance that I started to take it more seriously and got my updated resume, transcripts, copies of my degrees, and actual application turned in almost immediately. I dropped it off to HR and my interview was the next day (which was yesterday). My interview feels like it went over smoothly but I'm just trying to put it to the back of my mind and put it in God's hands because whatever will be, will be. I'm honestly happy with either outcome: if I don't get that job, then it's not my time to assume such a role and I will still already have the job I'm currently in which I am satisfied with and enjoy, and I know I put my best foot forward and I'll keep growing and I'll be more prepared for the next time, and if I do get the job, well, that's definitely a perk in its own, and will serve as a stepping stone of what's to come next. So, thank you to my supervisor and the Director for believing in me and wanting to see me succeed!
