I’m Still Standing…

Well it has been a while since I last graced you with a post. I have been busy pursuing employment opportunities but I still have not received any positive news. I did get three phone calls last Tuesday (after nearly 3 months without a single response) all within a 20 minute period setting up three phone interviews. The first phone interview went well and I may get an interview for that one, the second went very well and resulted in an interview this Tuesday and the third phone interview went well until the immortal words ‘I’m sorry I think you are over qualified’. The interview which resulted from the second call went well, it was a 2 hour group interview but they called me last evening to say thanks but they are going in a different direction. So I am back to square one with no prospects and an unsure future.

It would not be so bad except that I apply and do not hear back from a majority of the companies I approach. I guess I am getting a little depressed especially as I get closer to my birthday and of course Christmas. Without any real positiveness in my life at the moment I just have not felt like posting or being social. I just wish people would stop telling me to remain positive and that something will come along. It has been almost 18 months and all I get are ‘you are over qualified or we are going in a different direction.’ What direction do I have to go to get my foot in the door. Unlucky in love and unlucky getting a job, not a great combination.
