Woo, got a call back for the job I applied for. Interview week after next. Still feel numb about it but it's something! Not getting my hopes up but it'll be good practice and a relief to shut up my brain that thinks I'm unemployable after 7 weeks of bumming around
That's awesome, I really hope you'll have some good luck with this.
Is it a good role?
It's so-so. Pay could be better and I don't know what the org/team is like, also would be a bit of a drive away - but the experience level is just where I'm at, varied tasks, and a good foot in the door in local gov. If I got it I could see myself doing it for a year and moving on
Tell brain to shut up! This is the universe telling you that you are fully worthy of a good and great employment experience. That having been said, though, I wonder if this job is exactly right for you long term. Thinking of it as a good stepping stone seems pretty sensible to me. And no real need to weep if it doesn't happen. There most definitely is the right job out there for you. Might take just a tad bit longer to find it.
Brain is really a bit too loud and overbearing sometimes, even when it's in a fog, rude thing. Am legit feeling fairly casual about this job though - no hard feelings if it doesn't happen. I'm not really pushing for my dream/forever job at the moment, just an inroad to local government so I can expand my options and bide my time a little. A contract role would be ideal, but so far it's all been permanent 🫤
I do need to get my arse off the couch and stop eating into my savings though, so if nothing pans out by March I might chase up some low-stakes temp field work.
