My boyfriend had spent the past month interviewing and was in constant communication with recruiters. During this time, he received two job offers. Uh, lucky much?!
Last week, He had two interviews with his dream company which is located in *dun, dun, dun* Rosslyn, Virginia. This was so very unnerving because there was a high possibility that he and I were faced with a stressful situation: the lease being up at the end of the month, looking for a new rental place in a new state, packing and moving all before August 4th. HOLY CRAP!
Fourth of July weekend, My boyfriend's mom told us that she read an article that explains stress stems from how individuals perceive certain situations. I am not a doctor in neuropsychology, but there is a high chance that most individuals in our situation would have been stressed out too. Uncertainty was our problem and we were not equip to deal with it; no one is. There were so many things factoring in on the job in VA and we couldn't do anything until he received notice on whether he got the job or not.
The most terrifying thought for me was the prospect of becoming unemployed. I have student loan debts just like majority of American college graduates. It a vicious cycle: people continue their education to get a career but companies will not hire people with debt.
My boyfriend made the decision to take the job offer that allowed us to stay in Baltimore for the time being. If he receive an offer from his dream company today, he will take it. There is no question about it and I will support his decision. If the roles were revised, he would do the same for me.
Congratulations babe!
