I recently applied for a job interview and this morning I woke up really down thinking about how disappointed I will be if the job offer goes to somebody else. A little voice inside me asked me,"If you already have doubts about getting the job, who do you want to trust you"? Immediately I came off that negative thinking. So, whatever the outcome, I am ready!!

If you trust yourself, you should not have any doubts. Whatever will be the decision, just accept it with all of your heart. Don't worry because there are still other opportunities. Always be positive. Don't let negative thoughts rule in your mind. Instead, let those positive ones dominate in your live no matter what. I hope you will get it! Good luck to you my friend.

Hi there Manaleli!
I think I would not expect much if it were me. But, I really don't like getting disappointed so I do that. I do pray that I get the job but I just don't expect much. Good luck though, I hope you get the job.

I know how that goes! I doubt myself even when I know I did the right thing! When I know I did that I keep telling myself to stop with the guilt! I am alot better then i have in the past but I still struggle with my self-esteem! Growing up with a verbally abusive father didn't help!

Good for you!
I hope you get the job you desire.
But are you unemployed, or you just want a better job?
Because if you are unemployed you shouldn't apply just for one job.
You should apply to as many jobs that suit yu, to e sure at least one of them will take you.
Also, about neative and positive thinking. I know it is important to have a pleasant thought about everything, but meanwhile you can take into consideration the negative part also. That way the dissapointment will be less painful.

Yes.Positive thinking makes life cool.If we have negative thinking then we can not do anything.We can not move forward in life.First we need to trust ourselves.We have to keep in mind that we can do anything and we are far better from others.And also some hope should be there.Then only we achieve anything what we want in life.

Hi friend!
That should be the attitude needed for you to get the job, that is, being optimistic. Please remember that most companies right now hire the attitude. Meaning, most companies hire people with an attitude that relentlessly pursues solutions. It's the attitude that believes that a good result is possible despite instances or events that appear to the contrary.
I used to interview job applicants before and I usually chose or prefer those applicants who seemed to have a positive disposition in life and those that are willing to learn more.
Good luck and happy myLotting! (,")

Be ready! that is the attitude we must have, when awaiting for a decision.We do not need to think of negative things while waiting and we cannot think high for ourselves because it might turn out to be a disappointment. Come what may, you did your best so just be ready for the results.
