To shamelessly ask you to pray/manifest whatever you do, my dream job?

As the title says really -
interviewed for my dream job last week, and was called last night saying I was an ideal candidate and that I was more than appoint-able, but there was someone else with a little more experience than me who scored the same as me who they had to offer the post to first - but he’s unsure if he wants it.
it’s a very niche role offering services at a regional level (south east based)
not only is it my dream job, in terms of the work I’d be undertaking. Ita a raise and would allow me to leave H, who has a bit of a temper and I’d love to be able to buy him out the house. The seniority would also mean Monday to Friday working, and weekends and bank holidays at home for DD, ability to take AL in school hols, and the ability to work a bit more flexibly to attend school events which I don’t currently have
it would absolutely change my life.
the chap has until Friday midday to make up his mind and they’ll get back to me at 1400 on Friday.

wibu to ask for any support or well wishes that would hopefully lead to the chap getting a better offer or realising this job isn’t for him!

thanks for listening to my ramble

Good vibes, other candidate is hardly ingratiating themselves being unsure.

I am sending no vibes. It is impossible to send vibes. What a silly request.

And yet you have successfully sent negative ones. Well done 👍

DramaAlpaca · 24/09/2025 16:46

Good luck, hope it works out for you.

Cheers Beth. 😂

I'm a really lucky person and always get lucky on manifesting and I am sending my vibes to you, ignore the nay sayer, I'm believing in you.

Sending positive energy - lots of luck OP

Eyes, legs, toes, fingers, arms - everything crossed for you!

So I think he's going to have a conversation with his family tonight and they'll point out why it's not ideal for him - after all, if it was ideal he wouldn't have to think about it. So he'll let them know tomorrow and then they will CALL YOU!

And then we can all get excited with you and think about lovely things like what you're going to wear on your first day, and how long before you'll be able to get rid of NotDH and how brilliant it will be to be able to attend some fun school stuff at Christmas for your DD. Manifesting, manifesting, manifesting!

I'm about to leave the house to go and grab a pizza and a glass of wine to bribe myself to finish my application for a brilliant role... closes at midnight tomorrow and it would be amazing... but it's a bloody long application form, hence the bribing!!!

It’s Jewish new year today so whilst I’m not particularly religious, I am traditional and it’s a special time for ‘prayers’ … have sent my good vibes up there for you - sounds like you really deserve it and I love all your focus on the positive aspects it will bring…

(was going to say fingers crossed but would be slightly ironic within the context of saying it’s Jewish new year 😂 but really hoping this comes through for uou! X )

Ohhh as a witch!! Apparently I’ve got you the job… also how rude to let him decide it should be the interviewer that decided…

TickyBooo · 23/09/2025 23:03

Fingers crossed for you

Taurielwasntinthebook · 23/09/2025 22:59

Good luck OP… sending good luck vibes aplenty…. Please send them right back to me too as I’m in a similar boat! And also been having the ‘you were perfect but someone just scored slightly higher’ feedback.
The right job is waiting for us!
