This story has aspects of success. Since I was on a gradual return to work after my disability leave, I am just slowly gaining a realistic workload. With excess time on my hands, I sent my resume to another organization just on a whim. To my shock and amazement, they are pursuing me and wanting me to come for an interview.
The part of me that has just survived finally getting back to full time work after being sent home due to my anxiety and then plunging into depression in response, my self image and even how people around me at work view me is as a bit fragile.
The job I applied for seems to be fairly high responsibility but it is possible I am really qualified as the labour market here has really tightened up and companies are facing the reality that huge numbers of employees are retiring.
My concern aside from I don't give enough credence to my qualifications is that it has taken me a long time to build up a support system, the lack of which contributed to my earlier inability to maintain employment. I can kid myself that much of my support now is coming through the computer and it shouldn't matter where I live. The job would require me to move cities again.
So anyway, a nice boost for the ego to be considered for this high level position but a tenuous self recognizing that maybe I need to play the cripple a little longer.
