What It Is Like Waiting To Hear Back From A Job Interview
Museumhack.com

So you've just interviewed for a job you were super excited for. Maybe you thought you nailed the interview, or maybe you thought it went absolutely horribly. Either way, waiting to hear back whether you got the job or not is one of the worst feelings in the world. Here is what it is like waiting to hear back from a job interview.

You get so nervous that you keep biting your fingernails down to the nub.

Every time the phone rings or you get an email you're convinced your life is over.


"No this is not a good time to call I might be getting called anytime in the next few weeks by my future employer so don't speak to me again."

You cannot focus on anything you do especially in school so you doodle like there is no tomorrow.

I mean at least your notebook looks pretty cool but what exactly happened from 1700 to 1800 in Europe...? The doodling took control and you lost 100 years of history.

You're constantly looking for a sign as to whether or not you might have gotten the job.


"Well it's raining so I definitely didn't get the job because the universe wants me to cry endless tears. Oh but that one person complimented my outfit so I probably should wear that on my first day to work."

People ask you how your interview went and you start mumbling or speaking in gibberish.

"I nodt inkr sdlne gurble gurble gurble. Iloset goty on sfmk nlah... So what do you think?"

You've decided that instead of telling people you didn't get the job you will just go into hiding.

There are either two outcomes of your job interview and either way both call for reason to celebrate.

Employment Scenarios

1. Congratulations you got the job! All of your hard work paid off and you're finally living your dream even if this job is just working at a Portillo's and getting to eat extra fries. Next time, try not to worry so much because it all works out.

2. Sadly, this job just wasn't cool enough for you. But do not worry, there are so many more amazing jobs out there just waiting to be discovered. So go eat some ice cream and begin the new hunt tomorrow.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
