i just submitted my application for my dream job. the job i thought i would have to wait five or six years for. it is still a long shot, but i have spent the past 2 summers working for this company, and i KNOW that people there (at least in the dc office) like me. it's rare that they hire fresh psych phd's... they usually wait for people to have a bit more experience (read: publications), and i am definitely short on the publications. but God is in the business of small (and sometimes not-so-small) miracles, and if that's where i'm supposed to be, i have no doubt that the doors will open. [deep breath] did i mention that i really want to work for them? and that i'm incredibly nervous? what if i wrote something stupid? what if they're offended that i said that few of their researchers approach family research projects thinking about relationships? what if they hate (or laugh at) my writing samples? [deep breath]
i really procrastinated submitting my materials as long as possible, but eventually it had to be done. and honestly, three more days - or three more weeks, for that matter - wouldn't really change what i have to say. i'm just nervous putting myself out there... and waiting for a response. [deep breath]
