When was the last time you know you felt sorry for yourself? The last time I felt sorry for myself was when I applied for a new role at my work. I was seeking a promotion when I saw that they were looking for a new Tier 2 agent. I have been working as a Tier 1 in the company for one year and a half so I decided that I was ready to apply for a promotion. The process consists in two fases: The written assessment and the final Interview. I managed to pass the assessment, but when I got to the interview with the managers I was so nervous that I forgot all my english. ( I am a portugueses native speaker) Although I knew how to answer all that was being asked, I couldn't find the proper words make myself clear, and sometimes I'd finish a sentence feeling that something was missing. The interviewers remained in silence waiting for me to finish what I intended to say. As a result, I finished the interview feeling a bit of frustration because it wasn't as great as I thought it would be. Even though, I thought I still had good chances because I've always been a good agent with great results. Of course I didn't get the promotion and I was blaming everyone else, trying to find excuses for my failing when in fact I was the one to blame. If I had prepared myself better, things could be different.
