Last night, I was almost going to not show up to my job trial that I had today, because I was actually that scared, yes scared. Afraid to make coffee, something I've done hundreds of times, and know I can do. Afraid that I might mess up.
I flicked through the book my lovely flatmate had lent me a couple of weeks ago and on the page it said:
"We're talking here about inner strength that makes you attractive when you walk into a room and causes others to say, 'who's that?' They're not asking because of your physical appearance but because your presence has impact. This is not pride, it's just healthy self-esteem based on God's opinion of yyou. It's what I call God-esteem! When you have it, it affects the way you talk to others,apply for a job, perform a ministry, or even how you pray.."
Retrieved from, Believe That You Can by Jentezen Franklin.
I completely believe that through this text that God was speaking to me, assuring me and this gave me a peace, and I slept soundly through the night.
The next morning I woke 10 minutes before my alarm, something that happens to me quite a lot, fortunately. I felt a teeny bit nervous but no-where near as scared as I had the night before. Thank you Lord!
I got to Luciano's Esspresso early for my first job interview and they asked if I wanted a coffee. Stoked! Then I heard the familiar sounds of one of my favourite bands, The Cure. So far so good! However, the questions asked in a job interview always confuse me and I usually go "Uhhhh.." For example: "What has been you biggest achievement so far and how did it make you feel?"
I winged it and said that completing the 9 month course at Ruben Blades Hairdressing School was, and that it made me feel happy. :D
The rest of the interview was pleasant, and we talked easily, and I'm hoping and praying that this will be a great success.
So then I biked to Ilam to do my long awaited job trial. This is the thing that I was terrified of, and when I got there and greeted everyone the first thing I had to do was make a flat white. I am thankful that the coffee machine was a WEGA, which I am used to using, and it was very nice and new. Anyhow my flatwhite turned out good enough, and my milk got complimented, luckily!
I then was shown how the touch screen system worked and got to wrap up a few knives and forks, then got to serve some real life customers! Yay!
Two hours later I left feeling relatively optimistic about the whole experience and wondering why I had felt so scared in the first place! Haha.
Also hoping and praying about this job too. ;)
Gotta go!
Love from Gem.
