The Divine Intertwines

"....my first ‘real’ job came when I responded to an ad from a marketing research company looking for an administrative assistant. I had been on the search a little while and had a few interviews under my belt. But there was something significant that would happen where I first recognized the Divine Intertwining in my career life. I showed up for the interview, and there were two other candidates in the lobby. They had been chatting it up and creating attachments with each other. I instinctively knew not to do this and held my space. The two owners of the company let us know that we would interview all together in a conference room. We were startled and had to adjust quickly to this idea and new development. Once inside the room, I took a spot on the far side of the table from the other two candidates and answered questions as best I could. But it was when I floundered on an answer and allowed myself to fall and get back up to answer it the way I wanted to, that I felt found myself letting go and getting relaxed inside. Something overcame me and I let go. I was in a room holding my own now along with two other competitors for the same role. I was authentic, accepting, and allowing. Not competing. Not matching the other two candidates’ energies. And is where I realized I was there for ‘me’. I could let this go. By the time I arrived back home, there was already a message on my answering machine. I was hired. And, they especially liked how I handled my snafu in the room and the resiliency shown."
