Another Friday the 1 and another less than stellar day... but I'm hanging in there in every sense of the word!
When I didn't hear anything from the AWP about my resume submission, I decided better to be safe than sorry, so I gave them a call to inquire within.
Thankfully I reached the contact person immediately and she opened up my email and examined my resume, pointing out a few needed corrections and making them for me herself.
"This is a good resume and I'm going to submit you for this position. It was smart of you to call."
Apparently her in box lit up like a pin ball machine with responses to the listing. There were 58 submissions in all and I was a fortunate one out of a total of three people that she was going to submit for consideration.
"You may get a call today," she said. My whole body started to tremble with anticipation. I never would have imagined that I would reach the point where a day job would make me quake with excitement. The pay isn't even that great, but it's a 9-5 or 10-6 job and they're even forgiving of those who need to go on an occasional audition here or there. Also, there's health benefits! Right now, this is my dream job!
Throughout the day I kept fantasizing about getting this job and what it would mean to me: being able to pay my bills &rent with more money left over at the end of the month to put away in a saving's account and pay off more of my debt. I'd finally be able to call up my parents that I got a "real" job. In the meantime, I'd still be able to keep auditioning for shows and if and when I got a gig, they would hold my place for me by hiring a Temp!
I mean, could this job be any more brilliant?!?
Unfortunately I didn't hear a peep from anyone today in regards to setting up an interview and so needless to say this put a real damper on my mood today. I returned to my telesales job feeling quite deflated and to top it off, barely managed to make a sale all day.
Tonight after my shift, which usually ends at 7:30 on Friday, I unwittingly volunteered to man the kiosk inside the theater
Ah well - I'm not giving up hope yet. I think I may give the AWP a call on Monday morning just to see if they have any other clues as to what I should expect.
In the meantime, I'm going to try and enjoy my weekend...yes! another weekend has arrived

Sometimes people who are filling positions are not in as much of a hurry, and they get busy doing other things. So when you are waiting to hear from them, you get the idea that the job was filled by someone else, but, really, it isn't. So stop by and let them know that you want the job.
