I've been having after 9pm thoughts all day about what I'd do if I don't get this job, just because I haven't heard back from them straight away.

I need to keep in mind these things take time and there are still over avenues open if this doesn't come through

Yep. I applied for a niche job that I'd be perfect for and it closed a week ago, whyyyy haven't they called me? I'm getting a bit better at detaching, something will come up when it's meant to.

I have done the recruitment thing from both side and trust me - I know it sucks but it can take time!! Hold in there. Also I think it's ok to contact to ask about progress after, say week/week and a half. If it's a more senior or niche position it can take a bit longer to sift through.

That's how I feel sometimes. I know I can interview well too so I just need to get in the room with them and I can talk myself into the job.

You get thinking about how your life could be, apply for these jobs, then nothing happens
