please send prayers/thoughts/pigeons

[Hopalong]

Hi all,
Last Weds I had the very positive interview for the job I want (& need) so much. They'd said the next step would be a 2nd HR interview "early this week". I didn't hear anything Monday or yesterday so I'm getting anxious about it. IIt's Wednesday so now we've gone past "early"--I guess I'd better write them a little email... Scared. So much is at stake for me now.

It may still be fine, it's just a big slow organization...or they may have doubts, or I may have serious competition. (Which there is for plant-watering jobs in this town.)

I don't know what the situation really is and need support...invisible arms across my shoulders.
So I'm calling up my small but powerful army of VESMB (our board's acronym) friends...

Toss us a prayer? A thought? A pigeon?

(They should hire me. They really should. I'll work hard and happily for them and do a great job.)

thanks,
Hops

Hiya Hoppy

I work in recruitment and sometimes it's a nightmare to get a manager's availability... it could be that they are in meetings or something like that.

No news is good news.... keep your fingers crossed.

And I'll cross my fingers, toes etc etc.

Love H&H xx

Hi hops,

They should hire me. They really should. I'll work hard and happily for them and do a great job

Absolutely! They would be very blessed to have you.

Hops, I'm going stop and reach out with the rest of your friends and hold you tight. Prayers for you now and always. seasons

HI, Hoppy (one tiny vowel away from Happy!!!)

Just replace this:

Scared. So much is at stake for me now.

with this:

They should hire me. They really should. I'll work hard and happily for them and do a great job

in that smart brain of yours!!!!

Everytime you think the worry/catastrophy/oh no thing......dump it! and replace it with the YEAH!!!/I am GOOD/power stance!!!

 It's ok to be scared, but don't stay there (focusing on that).  Accept it, then move into visualizing the good stuff! 

BUT putting SSSOOOO much stock in the outcome is a set up for pain.

How about this:  "I see myself at that job....I am doing great things."
However, getting too attached to that outcome does not leave room for a BETTER possibility to come along.
So add this:" if I don't get this exact job, it just means another/BETTER opportunity is just around the bend!!!"

It's ALL good, Happy, I mean Hoppy!!! ALL systems are go!!!
(sending this all to you, BAM!!  did you get it?)

A good prayer for times of need:

"Is there any Remover of Difficulties save God?
Say: Praised be God, He is God!
All are His servants and all abide by His bidding."

Hi Hops:

I hope they hire you.  My thoughts and prayers that they will.

Maybe the fact that they haven't communicated yet is a good sign that they are really considering you?

It's been on my mind but didn't want to bring it up,
wanted to see where you are at with the whole thing.
All my best wishes and prayers for you, Hops.

thank you thank you thank you!

I've been waiting much more peacefully than usual, and I know it's because I feel so much support.

I truly appreciate it, all of you.
Keep those thoughts and doves flying, and I'll keep you posted.

(Might take a while...but I'll hear one way or another.)

Hugs,
Hops

Mum, thanks for this wise advice...consider it heeded!


TT: Are you in England? Is "pigeon" used like "duckie"? Ooh, I hope so. I love learning new terms of endearment and I love Anglcisms.

And thank you Sela, Trying to Cope, Storm, Penny, Sheela, ReallyME, Moonlight, Seasons, MovinOn, H&H--it's an armada!

I was thinking about this earlier.  You could always give them a ring today and say something like you were expecting to hear earlier in the week, and while you appreciate that they are very busy, see if they have any info for you.  You could also confirm your availability to them if they require a second interview and pass some dates and times.  This shows that you are pro-active (what a buzz word!!, or maybe it's just a UK thing!)

Still got everything crossed... it's quite difficult to walk or type
