Waiting to hear back after applying for a job.

You think you found the perfect job.

The stress and anxiety.

The "will I get it or will I be rejected."

Do I still want it?

Yes, I still want it.

Checking the posting over and over.

Will I get an interview?

Yes or no?

Maybe?

Will I even get a rejection email?

Will I have benefits?

What is the salary?

How much money can I make?

How can I spend my money?

Will they call or email today?

Will I be waitlisted?

Waitlists are the worst things on the planet.

I really want this job.

I hope I hear back soon.
