  • Failed Again

    Another interview last week. Another rejection.

    I'm going to be at this horrible place forever.

    Just gotta keep trying. Eventually you'll get a bite. Remember, every interview is one more chance to get the hell out of your current job situation. Learn from the "No's" -- figure out what they didn't like (hell, send a 'Thank you' email tomorrow anyway, and ask them for advice on how to improve in the future! Get in the habit for any future ones; it couldn't hurt), and use those to improve for your next interview.

      That's what one of my co-workers does.....she's trying to move up to a Reference Librarian position, and got feedback at her last interview on what areas she needs to work on.

        Ok I hate to be the one do this but- you need to relax.

        I just got stressed out reading your post title and 2 sentences. I can't imagine how much anxiety and stress your radiating in person.

        I know you NEED a new job (not want need) but you need to try and center yourself a bit so you seem more desirable.

        My suggestion find some place quiet where you can spend 10 minutes alone and just tell yourself between big breaths that you are good at your job and you are a good hire. It might calm you down a bit.

          That's certainly true. I'm hoping I can recharge in the next week and not be as high strung and negative as I have been.

            Cool. It may not be easy, but you can pull it off! ^_^ This is an audition of sorts, after all, so Break a (frog) leg!
