Nervous about interviews part 2

2 Replies

So today I went to 2 job interviews. The 1st went great even if I didn't get the job. (Optimism and not oh woes me).....The interviewer was my old co-worker I first started in auto 8 years ago. At the time he was a Master Mechanic and I was a service basic tech. So 8 years later I came not knowing he was there and we looked and recollected. "oh wow small world"

Since we had a history together already it paved the event at a more comfortable level. Which helped with me going in and "just doing it"

You never really adjust to the pool temp quick unless you jump in rather creep in. Same thing. This man didn't know I was in a wheelchair. He didn't know of my brain/neuro disorder. It really helped keeping me very "grounded" and present. At those times I forget I have a disorder. So after that I left with a smile knowing that God gives, you just have to be receptive to it. Because life is tough for us. I/we don't want to wake and find us still having this. But it's here it's fact. It's life and we should appreciate living.

The 2nd didn't go very well. I saw that he was all about the money and how the dynamic of how auto repair is and should be rather than the superficial way I've worked at and yes it's money making but there's always more crap laid on the great floor you see. "Too good to be true" But as for me interviewing and feeling adjusted to strangers and employer I was thinking "yah im in wheelchair so what" LOL Give me a tool and a vehicle and ill diagnose it and fix it.....Done it more than 3 times already like this so whats the problem?LOL But see thats my confidence I hope people read and say "you know what Im just gonna try it"

I know its tough. I thought and pondered before this but you know it didn't help and the interviews went real well ilregard me not being hired.....thats why they call it job searching dude.LOL They dont care and you shouldn't either
