person A: I had been unemployed for a long time until earlier this year. I originally wasn't sure if I was going to even interview for the position I did_comma_ but I'm glad I decided to. I got a call in late may from a merchandising company. I went back and forth in my mind after being rejected from many interviews over the past couple years. In the end I went for it_comma_ the interviewer liked what I had to say_comma_ and I was hired the same day! I've been working there ever since.
person B: Congratulations!  That's awesome.  Sometimes it's scary to risk rejection_comma_ but it sounds like it totally paid off in this case.  
person A: Yeah I'm happy I kept at it :)
person B: I'm about to switch careers_comma_ so I'll be doing the interviewing thing soon. It's scary.  
person A: Good luck!
