So I show up for the interview, my gosh this place is exactly 42 minutes from my house, 50km on the nose. Wow, there are over 50 employees and they have an $8M budget! now i am scared, i came from a $1M budget with 5 staff - how the hell can i do this? Then the voices of my sister and my husband, my strongest supporters came into my head "Nic, be yourself, stand tall, they will love you" so i did.
I was myself, i laughed i spoke i listened, and 45 mins later i felt that i could have done no better. I was the first interview of the day "now the rest of you have to beat me" i thought - yep i thought i nailed it!
2 weeks later - no call, 3 weeks later an email arrives - 'still making our decision', then i get told they are calling my references. And man, i am lucky to have the greatest people as my references.
2 weeks later, another email . . . . sorry for the delay. UGH. Then one day, I am driving with Deano to pick up my car and the phone rings - it is them - this is it! Hyperventilating, i pick up the phone. "We would like to offer you the job, your references were outstanding" WOW HOLY woot woot - could it really be. Then i got scared - AGAIN. but it only took me 2 seconds to say, YES, i will take it! Then they offered me more money that i would ever get where i was - we would be able to pay our bills! i would be closer to home, i would save on gas, i would have my life back - yes that it what it felt like - a new lease on life.
Now i have to tell the boss . . . . . . . .
