Logging in to my email account, I saw that I finally had a message from the school I interviewed with in a town about three hours away.
As soon as I saw the name of the sender, I of course knew what the email would be about. It made my heart leap from a mixture of excitement and nerves.
What was I about to read upon opening the note?
The next thing that happened was my eyes noticed there was no paper clip icon signifying that the email contained an attachment. Wait - no attachment?? An offer letter email should have an attachment; how else can a candidate review the contract being extended and decide whether to sign?
YIKES!
Even more nervous now, I clicked to read the message. In it, my interviewer explained that he was sorry for the delayed communication. Then he informed me that he and his boss spoke and decided to ask me to join the team for next year!
Phew. What a relief!
I can handle rejection, but I love not needing to prove it.
After taking a few days to think things over, continue the dialogue with the interviewer, and review the contract he sent a couple days later, I accepted the position.
It's true I love where I am now, and it's also true that I'm looking forward to a new situation and new possibilities.
Life's good. Still.
