The job interview went well and I was excited about the propspects - until they called today to tell me the job went to another candidate. Such simple words to dash ones hopes. I was highly qualified for this job; it is exactly what I have been doing for most of my career. The person who got the job may also be highy qualified, but why her and not me? What was her edge? It's hard not to let this stuff get me down. I've been looking and appying for almost eighteen months. I've been either ignored or not selected at least forty to fifty times in the last year and a half. I'm tired of feelings of inadequacy; I'm tired of feeling rejected or ignored; I'm tired of the chipping away at my confidence in my abilities. I'm tired of being tired.
It"s getting old and so am I.
