Tension!..Just for the sake of giving it a title

P.S* Peeps.This is not a post in any way.I am just looking for a way to relieve myself of tension.

Please do not mind me!

In the last one year now i have been doing an entrance level interview with the Equitorial Trust Bank(ETB). The time difference between each interview is usually very long and depressing.On several ocassions, i have given up on the search for that particular job offer.

Again after about 7 months, i was called for the final stage interview.I have been waiting again for the last two weeks to be called. Only for me to receive a call from one d peeps i did the interview with that she had just gotten her offer letter. I was happy for her yet distraught at the same time,y..because i have not received any such call.

I have been calling quite a number of people who did the interview with me and the response i get is in the affirmative. Oh dear!..i want this job so badly.I am almost at the point of a panic attack.

I am freaking out, my palms are sweaty, i am so anxious.My spirit keeps telling me to relax but i can't just seem to put myself up to it.I don't want this opportunity to pass me by, i so need this change.

Oh God! Please help me.

P.S* I warned you oh..this is not a post oh...i can't even concentrate on doing blog rounds.

I called their HR a few minutes ago, i spoke with someone i knew who told me they were calling in batches.I hope she wasn't just pysching me.She told me they would call soon enuf.
I still need God's overwhelming peace rite about now.

I remember a friend of mine that was in this position 3 years ago...and everyone was getting their call...and telling her that she did not have connection that's why she wasnt called...

My dear, my friend was called last, and she was given a position higher than all of them...

God has a job for you, a great job for you...and even if this one those not come true (which I doubt)it will be because he has something better for you out there...and He wants you to take out some time to prepare for the position He will give to you...

The first shall be the last and the last shall be the first...

Take it easy Love.

don't worry love. believe all this stress won't add 2 anything. it won't make d call come sooner, or later. u r just working urself up 4 nothing. just find a way 2 relax. pray, play, anything 2 take ur mind off it. & yeah, they could b calling n batches so don't sweat it. it's all good. God is wit u

NaijaBabe said...

My dear, take it easy. If it is yours then it shall be, just be patient. You have waited this long, surely a few more days or weeks wouldnt hurt. I hope you do get it though...good luck.

Emilia said...

I have bn in a situation like not fun at all... I did not get the position was sick the whole week couldn´t eat, depressed cried you name it I did it but now I have moved on and am over it... But I hope you get it for sure and that it turns out to be what you really want
No matter the outcome you can handle it

first time here...

erm, it doesnt look too great but i suppose like you said, it's in batches.

ok i'll stop now! how can my first comment on ur blog be even remotely negative? no oh!!
i'll jus say this; if it's meant to be then it will. don't stress yourself dear. will send up a prayer on ur behalf- now calm down!

Red Sapphire said...

Thanks alot guys..didnt expect this handful of comments this soon.Added to the info got is that..everyone called so far is for relationship management(MARKETING) purposes.No training required for them, that for us(just found out it aint me alone) for the operations dept, we would have to be patient.I hope i didnt shoot myself in the leg by saying i wanted operations....i hope not!
Kai, i guess i should be thinking in this direction now that once i get my letter, i would dedicate it not only to God but to you all that have found a way to console and help me.
Thanks ya'll ..FFF.Naijababe,greyamethyst,emilia,badderchic and geisha song.

Pray, pray and more prayer and just when you think you have prayed enough...pray some more. But don't forget whatever God's will is then that's what will happen. I pray for the best outcome for you love and that the waiting time is not too stressful for you. Its the waiting that makes you go crazy!

What's for you cannot be taken by anyone else.

Miss Definitely Maybe said...

Gem, the letter will come,
might not be today
might not be for this particular post
it might not even be for a similar position
But the letter will definitely come.
And it will be for a better offer
It might not be better in terms of salary, prospects or whatever but it will be the best offer for YOU, the whole you.
I know you want this job badly and have prayed about it till you are hoarse. We serve a faithful God his hand is not shortened that it can not reach. I dont really want to be preachy but God says he will not give you a stone if you ask for bread but neither in his all incompassing wisdom will he give you a snake just because you asked for it (no matter how badly). What no eye has seen or ear has heard is what the Lord has prepared for those who love him....okay I better stop im being preachy now.
9yrs ago when we first moved to this country I badly wanted to do nursing coz that was the 'top' immigrant career back then. I went for several interviews and couldnt get a place coz they said why would someone with 4 A plus A levels want to do a diploma in nursing you are over qualified. I cried and was angry with God...fast forward six months later I applied and obtained a minority opportunities scholarship from a magic circle firm to study Law at the best law school in this country. Im now in a profession I love making more than what I could ever make in the nursing profession...okay what im just tryingto say is in his time God makes all things beautiful..so dont stress too much. I will be praying that that letter comes today but if it doesnt come today dont stop checking your letter box coz sooner or later an 'offer letter is going to come for bigger and better things.....(soory for the long comment but I hate to see you stressing)

Red Sapphire said...

I want to say i am much better today than i was yesterday.Your comments are more than enuf to gear me back to life.I take them seriously and i deeply appreciate them.I am still praying and thanking God at the same tyme.I know this is his will for me and i am unshakened about that.I will wait and steadfastly believe in Him.He(God) wants me to relax..and so will i.I appreciate all your comments.I can't thank you enuf.
The most amazing part of it all was that after i prayed to God for peace.I still can;t express the kind of peace i encountered.I am grateful to God and u my fellow bloggers.
Miss definitely maybe,LG,Sirius,Ibiluv,parakeet and buttercup..thank you all so much.
I am going to share my testimony with u soonest.I am believing Him for that.
