🍁📎Writing My Way...📎🍁

Failing my first real interview

In the past I have been to a few job interviews that I could count on one hand. Some I passed, some I failed. Last year towards the end of the year, I got a call from my sister saying we had been called to go for interviews at a company I dreamed to work for. I remember being excited and afraid at the same time..I was unprepared. Afraid because I had a track record of failing them interviews.

At that time I had just started my new job. I was indecisive on whether I was doing the right thing , but I went anyway .

We rushed there because we had been told to be there on time. We finally reached there after taking a couple of wrong routes. What shocked us was the crowd that we met there. There were so many people, mostly youth both girls and boys. And they had come to do the same interview.

After the first round of tests which were written, oral interview was next. It was done in groups of between ten to fifteen people. We waited for so long for our turn to come and we came last. Till now I believe all the tough questions were directed to me which made me successfully fail the last round of interviews so I wasn't short listed but luckily my sister was.

I remember feeling so sad and anguished. Despite the fact that I didn't want the job as much as the other participants, I wanted to pass the interview and maybe turn down the job offer. It haunted me that I failed . I just hated that I failed it. I was bitter at myself and doubted my capabilities due to this incident.

However, what I learnt from this experience is that God knows what is hidden in the depths of our hearts. I say this because deep down I knew I couldn't take this job if I passed the interview but I just wanted to boost my ego by passing the interview. Although there were other factors as to why I wanted this job, I believe God knows what's best for each of us. I saw it as a failure then, but now I see that He Had his reasons for my not going through.

When i think of that incident now, it doesn't make me sad. My reason being God knows best!
