Today, I'm grateful for MANY things (my husband, sobriety, home, etc)...but what I came on here to talk about is the fact that after four months of unemployment, I finally have a job interview! I go in Thursday morning to interview for an administrative assistant position at a church near my house. I'm SO grateful for this opportunity. I'm also nervous, as I haven't had a job interview in ten years (the last job I had, I worked there since 2004), and this is my first interview after graduating college.

I just keep telling myself that even if I don't get THIS job, getting out there and interviewing is a great first step in the right direction especially considering the fact that before I got sober and was at my worst, I spent literally months at home in my pajamas doing nothing but getting wasted all day.

Good luck on the interview Mrsbee!

Thank you both!!! I'm really excited, as I've been pretty much a hermit all winter...it'll be nice if I can get a job both for the income and the fact that it'll keep me busy

I just got back from the interview....it has literally been TEN YEARS since I interviewed for a new job, since I was with my previous job since 2004. I must admit I felt very rusty and nervous, and was required to reproduce a document using Microsoft Publisher at the end of the interview. The woman interviewing me was very nice and seemed to approve of the reproduction I created, but I'm a perfectionist and this is the first interview I've ever walked out of feeling less than stellar and not at all confident. I'm trying to stay positive, but there are 20 applicants for this position and only one job opening so I feel like I'm going to obsess over this until I hear from them. I guess I have to look at it positively and remember that if nothing else, at least I'm back in the game of interviewing.

Thanks again to everyone for the support and kind words
