["I had been unemployed for a long time until earlier this year. I originally wasn't sure if I was going to even interview for the position I did, but I'm glad I decided to. I got a call in late may from a merchandising company. I went back and forth in my mind after being rejected from many interviews over the past couple years. In the end I went for it, the interviewer liked what I had to say, and I was hired the same day! I've been working there ever since.", "Congratulations!  That's awesome.  Sometimes it's scary to risk rejection, but it sounds like it totally paid off in this case.", "Yeah I'm happy I kept at it :)"]
I'm about to switch careers, so I'll be doing the interviewing thing soon. It's scary.
I got a call about a job offer back in late May this year. I wasn't sure if I wanted to try and interview for it it since seemed like just another in a long list of jobs I'd applied to. But in the end I decided that it was better than being unemployed, so I went for it. I won over the recruiter in the phone interview, and was hired the same day!
