Mainly posting for reassurance and to get this off my chest because my family is getting sick of me lol
I’m a manager at a major retail store. I’ve worked there for 10 months now, ever since a job I was offered in my field was canceled due to corona virus. This job was for my state government and I was very sad when it slipped through my fingers.
Now I’ve had the opportunity to interview for 3 more of the same job with different government officials. The first one I was rejected from (major bummer because I had interned in this office before and had someone who currently works there rooting for me).
The second one I was asked if I’d consider a similar role in a different office, I said yes and they haven’t gotten back to me yet but they’ve been slow in all their communication before this. I think there’s a good chance I’ll be offered this job.
The third one I’ve had three interviews now (the last being with the actual government official). At the beginning of the process I was told there would be at least 2 interviews with this person. This job is my second choice (the first being the one I was rejected from). The same person who was rooting for me in the first interview has connections with this person and has “put in a good word for me.” This person thinks I’m a good fit for this office and that my chances are high. They never said this for the first job.
Here is where my anxiety is coming in. I called out of work for the 3rd interview because this government official is very busy and I didn’t feel I could ask for a different interview time than what was offered. The interview went AMAZING but I’m trying to manage my expectations because I’ve been disappointed before. He said he loved my answer after almost every question and at the end of the interview said “great job today.” They said they’d follow up within a week.
At my current role I’m well respected and known for never calling out, so every one was very sympathetic when I called out with “food poisoning” for the first time ever last week. My concern is that I will need to call out again next week for a 4th interview with this government official. It would be absolutely worth it as I am desperate to leave my current position AND this is the entry level job for what I want to do with my life. I guess I’m just looking for someone to tell me that it’s okay if I have to call out of work again next week. I’m nervous they’d become suspicious or that I’ll lose my good reputation if I don’t get this job after all.
Mostly I’m just super excited by this opportunity but fearful for the response for me calling out of work again. Eek!
