SO NOW WHAT?

For the last couple of weeks I've been focused on my QVC audition. Kind of putting the job hunting on hold til that was over with because it's such a big opportunity that I didn't want to screw it up. Well Friday I went down to Chicago and had my audition. And...it went pretty good!

For the most part I wasn't too nervous. It was more like a deeper nervous. I knew that this was a big opportunity for me and it's something that I know I'd do well at it and I didn;t want to screw it up the opportunity. I felt like Eminem in 8 Mile. Ok maybe that's a little dramatic.

So here's how it all went down. I was an hour and half early for my audition. I come to this hallway with this line of chairs. I sit down and start to just calm my self down and get ready. Telling myself that I can do this. That the people around me weren't any better than me.

I walk in the room with my big Rubbermaid tote full of pots and pans and set up. I gave a quick intro about myself and then began with my brief presentation. I only had 2-3 minutes to sell my product. At the end the casting director gives me a one sheet and a sweater and tells me to go out to the hall and prepare another presentation in 5 minutes.

I go into the hall and everyone looks at me like "what's going on with her? How come she's not leaving?" AFter about 5 mintues and some people asking me questions, I went back in with a few things in mind of what I would say to sell this sweater. I had a little Erin personality tossed in there and off I went. I think I did a pretty good job the second time around considering I had only 5 minutes to come up with something.

So what now? I have NO IDEA!! They gave me absolutely no info. No, "Hey we'll call you in a week"...nothing. So I sit here and wonder what I should do next. I know I need to keep looking for work but what? If I don't get the QVC job will the job I get be better?

I'm going to sound like my mom here but I guess I'll just have to pray. I prayed that I would do a good job and not blow it and I did. So now, I guess I'll have to pray that I have the opportunity to get the job. All I know is sitting around wondering and waiting is hard.
