🐩 TREE 414: Use this one weird trick

It got me a shiny new job!

One.

I manifested a new job for myself. It pays 33% more than my last job. The benefits are excellent. The working conditions are perfect for my family situation. Because I know how to manifest, all it took was a single 30 minute interview.

And
applying for the job twice,
rewriting and redesigning my CV,
building a portfolio
and a landing page,
four phone calls and more emails with three recruitment agencies,
reading hundreds of job alert emails,
driving four hours to Bristol for an interview then driving home the same day,
driving four hours to Bath for an interview then driving home the same day,
three other Zoom interviews,
two more Zoom interviews cancelled by the employer,
making 46 other job applications,
receiving 16 rejections,
getting blanked 30 times, and
more hours than I care to think about
across four months of intense job searching.

Here’s the hard truth. There was no way to skip those four months and go straight to the fateful 30-minute interview. I didn’t know the interview was the one until after it happened. Any of those other applications could have led to a fateful interview. Three times, I thought they had. I spent hours prepping for interviews for jobs I didn’t get.

That’s the deal. You don’t get to know in advance. So show up fully every single time.

If you too want to manifest something awesome in a mere 30 minutes, now is a good time to revisit The Boring Ol’ Materialist’s Guide to Manifesting.

Two.

A mythical being of wondrous beauty.

Three.

I’ve been enjoying FOALS’ new album. I recommend that you do the same.

Thank you for joining me for weird week.

Be sure to read tomorrow’s super excellent FIELD GUIDE. It’s likely to mess with how you think about things.

Get manifesting!
