My “real” job is a temporary job at the moment. I used to work for a company and resigned due to various reasons last year and in February they offered me a temporary position (more money than my previous position!) so of course I accepted!
My contract expires in July, so I am always keeping an eye out for a permanent position – more for the security of having regular income than anything else. I hope to eventually give up working for someone else so I can continue working on my own business.
Anyway, today some positions were advertised where I work, one at the same level I am at now, and another is one level senior to what I am doing now, so I have decided to apply for both.
My thinking is this – what’s the worst thing that can happen if I apply for these positions?
They could laugh at me and tell me I am dreaming, I could totally stuff up the interview, or not even get to the interview stage at all! There are probably plenty more horrible things that might happen, but these examples will do for now.
It’s on that basis that I’ve decided that I have absolutely nothing to lose (except my dignity, which I actually gave up when I gave birth to my first child), so I’m going for it! I’ll keep you updated on my progress!
