This is me: take it or leave it

Butterflies

So, I have butterflies in my stomach right now. I'm starting to apply for what I call "post-college" jobs. I did my first application on line today and still have to upload my resume. The position is in Indiana and I'm applying for the same position in Houston also (I'm willing to relocate anywhere right now). Its for the FBI as an Intelligence Assistant. I'm more than qualified for it and now its just a matter of waiting. It "closes" (they stop accepting applications for it) on Monday and it can take a month or more after that to hear anything from them then there's more paper work to send it, a poly graph test (lie detector), urine analysis (pee in a cup, please), then possibly interviews (yep, that's plural-they rarely do only one). So, I was really excited when I first completed the application and now I am just nervous. I'm taking my resume to work tomorrow and one of the employees there is going to look it over and give tips and stuff before I send it out. What if no one wants to hire me? What if I can't find a job in what I want to do? Right now all I can do is wait and trust God that He will lead me to the right job in the right location for me and Elisabeth. Even though I'm a little nervous about it and have butterflies in my stomach, I'm going to let Him do the worrying. Its time to let go and let God.
I will keep you updated on other jobs and what/if I hear from them! Wish me luck the job search begins!

    Well good luck with the job hunt.

    It sure can be nervewracking.

    For those who stay updated and look at comments.....It was a no go on teh first couple jobs I applied for. The field is very competitive and they look at hundreds of applications daily. So, I'm looking into a few more options and seeing what happens.
