i got a call about a job offer back in late may this year. i was not sure if i wanted to try and interview for it it since seemed like just another in a long list of jobs i would applied to. but in the end i decided that it was better than being unemployed, so i went for it. i won over the recruiter in the phone interview, and was hired the same day!
yeah i am happy i kept at it
congratulations! that is awesome. sometimes it is scary to risk rejection, but it sounds like it totally paid off in this case.
