I was engaged in my daily job search, and an ad seemed to appear suddenly. It was about a job that was within walking distance of my home, and I found I met all its requirements. I thought it was just perfect for me.
"I want that job," I whispered to myself, and then tried to gather some confidence. "That job has my name on it. "
Anyone who has been out of work for a period knows how badly job loss can affect one's self—esteem. One moment, I was an important person in the company; the next moment, thanks to internal restructuring (内部改革), I was deemed surplus. It was quite a shock. I began to question my ability and myself.
But now, for this perfect job, I pulled up my resume and composed what I hoped was a perfect application. As I pushed "Send", I closed my eyes and told myself with every ounce of certainty I had, "I've got this job. " Luckily, I received an e—mail inviting me to an interview. I was delighted!
"I know this is my job," I spoke the words to my reflection in the mirror on the day of my interview. I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel a bit nervous, but I knew that I was going to put my best foot forward and make a great impression.
It was a beautiful summer day, and the sunshine seemed to energize me. I was led into a conference room where the department managers greeted me. They had my resume in front of them and took notes as I answered their questions. What I had seen in the office appealed to me, and I could already picture myself sitting at my desk. A sense of belonging filled me.
By the end of the week, the desired call arrived, and my dream became a reality. I accepted the job, and my heart jumped for joy.
