So, Ive been looking for a new job for a long long time, and I just havnt been able to land one... Ive been to Bible College and want to be a worship director in a church. But then finally, after a lot of searching, a church finally showed an interest in me for an open position of theirs and its an INCREDIBLE job. They started off with 140+ candidates and its now down to me and one other guy. The job is located in Washington state and it pays more than twice of any previous job Ive ever had, and TONS of benefits. They are flying myself and my fiance up for an in person interview... for 4 days!!! They are paying to fly us up from this thursday morning until sunday evening. During that time, I have 13 scheduled interviews with different people/groups/committees. Every meal and every moment is planned to get as much personal time out of me as possible.
I am REALLY nervous! I really really really want this job. Its a great step forward in my career and life in ministry. It is quite literally my dream job. Due to the fact that my wedding is in 4 months it will help me get settled so I can support my wife and we can get our own place. Also we both have a lot of debt that this will let us catch up on. We both have some health issues that need to be dealt with and cant afford health insurance, but this job provides health insurance for both of us! My fiances father has also been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and since he was the main bread winner, they are about to be kicked out of their house due to foreclosure, their electricity keeps getting cut off, and the extra income will help us pay off their debt and keep them in their house.
At the end of the day, this is an incredible job and I am more than qualified for it. but it seems too good to be true... this job could quite literally solve all of our problems and give me and my wife an awesome new start to life, but Im just afraid that during the 13 different meetings Im scheduled to have, Im going to say something or do something to totally screw it up. I almost completely blew it on the phone interview... and also the thought that there is another dude out there that they are going to interview... I am going to really have to shine!
Ill try to keep updated as to how each day is going and each meeting, but I really hope I get it. Has anyone ever done something like this? where youve done an extended interview?
