Guest guest Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Today, I had a job interview. I was my first interview in three months. At the end of February I will have been unemployed 5 months. I left the interview devastated. The employer ridiculed my resume and came out and told me my 30 year career and experience was below industry standards for what is expected now and made fun of some spelling mistakes I made. He called me archaetic and wished me luck in finding a job. I got up in the middle of one of his sentences and without saying anything to him, walked out. I have been without a job now almost 5 months and really am in financial straights right now and to have him riducule my work history that I have always been proud of just cut way too deep. Not to mention the hugh disappointment of not securing a job today. I have been out driving around my neighborhood most of the evening as I could not bring myself to come home and sulk, it was just too hugh. I am home now and am wondering how I am going to react to this. The next 24 hours should tell me about any cycling. Think I will call my shrink tomorrow to see if I need to hop onto something else - like Risperdol for a few days to control any spikes in mood cycling. I haven't cried yet and that concerns me too. Just very numb. I am sure my dreams tonight will be horrendous. Dana Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 I had a similar experience earlier this month, except it was actually after I got the job. I knew from the interview that the woman would be very difficult to work for, but I needed the job so bad that I was just sure I could make it work. She treated me like an idiot for two days. I left at the end of the second day after she embarrased me terribly in front of two of her clients. I am afraid that I didn't handle the situation as well as you, because I had to tell her what a bad attitude she has before I left. The whole experience has left me afraid to even look for another job and because of my financial situation that is not an option. I have to find a job! Thanks for sharing your experience. It helps me to know that others are going through similar situations. We will make it through this.... Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 What a cool idea! Would be neat to know X number of steps = a walk across such & such state. I don't own a pedometer but if we agreed to do something like that here I think I could borrow my mom's. Mindy Music Unlimited - Access over 1 million songs. Try it free.
