I made so MANY mistakes and they still hired me!!!

I made mistakes...a lot of em. Ready for this? I initially sent my resume through in a garbled, unreadable format. I insulted the HR person with a joke I told thinking I would impress her with my witty banter. I failed. I don’t think I maintained good eye contact because I was a nervous reck. Then just for good measure, my potential boss saw my mom waiting for me post-interview (please no judgement). Yet through all of this and after what feels like forever, I was offered a job. My point. You can make a lot of mistakes, but when someone believes in YOU and sees your potential worth then those little things don’t matter. Good luck everyone!

Hell, we ALL screw up sometimes. This just goes to show you that mistakes don't have to be the end of you. Employers know we are human and they obviously saw something in you that was greater than your silly mistakes. They liked you and what you had to say so maybe you just felt like the mistakes you made were worse than they really were.
