Why I'm Afraid of a Job Interview!

I have a job interview scheduled for this week and I'm Scared! Here are my reasons. They are:

1. I may make big blunders when I talk. I am afraid of most strangers. These strangers can judge me unfavorably because I don't talk much.

2. I don't feel completely qualified. I don't think I'll measure up as well asrepparttar other candidates.

3. I think my appearance will dis-qualify me. I can't do much about that.

4. I think that this whole process has been rigged and I don't stand a chance to get this job.

Here are some remedies: They are: I can talk and rehearse in front

Rebirth from the Ashes

Written by Denni Gill


The legend ofrepparttar phoenix can actually be found in several belief systems. It can be traced back to ancient Egypt when it was then known as “Bennu” or Bynw”, a symbol ofrepparttar 122945 sun god Osiris. Osiris was resurrected to life from serving as ruler ofrepparttar 122946 underworld. Whether this mystical bird is attributed torepparttar 122947 Chinese “Feng-huang”,repparttar 122948 Jewish “Milcham” or even an emblem of Christ,repparttar 122949 legend remainsrepparttar 122950 same…

After serving its life cycle,repparttar 122951 phoenix builds a nest and then byrepparttar 122952 sun andrepparttar 122953 friction of its own wings, is consumed by fire. It is inevitably reborn fromrepparttar 122954 very ashes. The phoenix is therefore symbolic of resurrection, immortality, and my personal favourite - triumph over adversity.

I has been said repeatedly that there are two types of people in this world: “marathoners” and “sprinters”. Both are ambitious at heart. They set a goal and will pursue it zealously. The only difference is that a sprinter expects to see immediate results and if they do not receive those results, they may get discouraged and give up all together. A marathoner onrepparttar 122955 other hand, can get side tracked, knocked down, and trampled on, but will refocus and redirect when necessary in order to meet their ultimate goal.

For example, a woman who had planned to lose thirty pounds in three months may be disappointed upon realizing that afterrepparttar 122956 first month, she has only lost six. She had obviously expected to see faster results. But if that same woman takes into consideration that she is more toned or has more stamina, she may alter her official goal. She may decide “I want to go down a few dress sizes”, or “I want to be able to incorporate fitness and nutrition into my lifestyle permanently.” Alongrepparttar 122957 way, she may miss a few morning jogs or go off her so-called diet, but above all, she is patient with herself.
