So remember that first interview I posted about? I don’t have category experience so the HR screen has screened me out for now. They interviewed me because I had an internal referral so I guess that’s something?
But it is disappointing. I actually WANT to work. I read a lot of postings on social media about people who phone it in. People who don’t show up for interviews and when they do, they make crazy demands or worse yet, bring their parents! I cannot for the life of me wrap my head around that.
So I’m kind of gloomy today. Add to my disappointment that I got my packet about my severance and it’s a recipe for being out of sorts today. Thankfully I’m resilient and I’ll be right back at it – but I’m taking a minute to have a personal pity party this morning. Just a minute though!
Because I don’t think I always interview well, I’ve been looking at some resources to help me. If you’re on the job search, check these out!
