Lost My Job and Doubting Myself

[Bones]

Thanks,everybody!

One of the unusual things about this job interview was that I was given "homework" to do with the request I send it back by a particular deadline.  That has never happened to me before.

Hey, Bones - I know exactly what you're going through. I lost my job 3 years ago and have not been able to get back into my profession since. To top it off, my attorney is to blame for most of it b/c he did not do the legal work I hired him to do. Now I have to face bringing charges of malpractice against him - and I may not be able to do that either. I have resorted to selling real estate and am about to go broke doing it.

Don't give up! Just let the feelings work their way through you - don't fight them! Know this: all these feelings will pass or fade in intensity. I know you can't see past your pain right now. PLEASE - just let the pain happen, notice it, allow it, and I promise you it will pass.

I'm trying one day at a time.

I've just been informed that my second letter of reference has been sent.  Now I need to wait and see when it is received by the medical school and await their decision.  I did get feedback on my "homework assignment" and was told that it looks "promising".  I understand that they have to be noncommital at this point so that they don't accidentally give me false hope.  The waiting part is so hard...trying not to get my hopes up so that I don't get hurt again.

Bones,

The "promising" comment sounds good.

I know how you feel about not wanting to get your hopes up.  Needles and pins.

Good luck,

One of the reasons I am struggling with this is because when I went in for the job interview, I was still battling the aftermath of a viral infection and I was still not feeling well.  It's hard to be upbeat, energetic, "selling myself to a prospective employer", putting my best foot forward when I still physically felt as if I wanted to stay in bed and rest.  (I felt the timing couldn't have been worse when I got hit with what was suspiciously like the Noro-virus.  Nasty!)  I'm still trying to rest and recuperate even now.

Good luck Bones...

and what ghastly timing for a viral infection. Ugh.

I was recently asked to provide a THIRD reference letter and I managed to accomplish that.

Now I have to do the hardest part and wait.
