Just about 4 weeks into Stage 2 of AM2011.
I had a job interview today. While I was nervous, I was noticeably less nervous than I have been at previous interviews. It was nice to see some progress in that area.
In fact, I've noticed a very significant rise in my self-confidence over the past couple of weeks. I can still see some room for improvement in being decisive, but there is already a decrease in my hesitation for stupid reasons.
Also, a friend was asking me a lot of questions about my job search and kept pressuring me to think about my answers. She did me a huge favor, and in the past my low self-esteem would just have made me rather upset that someone was pestering me so much and punching holes in the walls of excuses I had built up to protect myself. This time, I was able to see why she was asking those questions and realize that I was letting my fears get in the way of going after jobs I want. I was able to thank her for her help in seeing the excuses I was hiding behind instead of getting frustrated and holding a grudge.
