I didn't get the job.

I was already depressed because of writer envy. Now, I'm even angstier.

This has reaffirmed my base belief that I am a useless, slacker 20-something with no marketable skills.

I am genuinely terrified.

I am going to cry, get cleaned up, and go watch a movie with my dad.

Has anyone heard from nonewwitticisms, by any chance?

When did you find out? And what was the reasoning?

Anyway, are we still up for Tennis on Monday? I'd like to at least try and continue the walking and stuff, that is if you still want to.

I found out today, when my dad gave me a postcard from the mail. It said 'thanks for your interest, but we don't want you. Good luck looking elsewhere' basically.

And yeah, I'm still up for tennis. :) Or walking. Either is good.

You're so not useless at all. You write great stories and make many of our lives a little bit better with them. Your stories make me happy. :) Please cheer up! You're going to get a better job eventually.

Oh... thank you very much for your kind words!

I know I'm being completely silly and childish about the whole thing. I guess I'm really just emotional and huge coward deep inside. *laughs* ♥

dude, do not feel bad. whatever anyone tells you, whatever you read, the job market rather sucks. there is fierce competition for anything not retail or service-industry related, for people with or without diplomas.

take, for example, my trouble finding -any- job last year, where i was unemployed for months. yeah, months. mitchan is still unemployed, in part because of her family situation being like the many descending levels of hell, in part because employers can be -insane- (she is one of the most competent people i know, and her inability to find a real job in the past year continually enrages and baffles me).

people who have masters in usable fields are fighting over jobs which pay $12/hr because there is so little out there, above a certain pay scale. jobs there are, yes. jobs that pay decently, no.

do NOT take their rejection as a reflection of you and what you are capable of. it's ok to be scared, being jobless with bills is -scary-, yes. but don't ever think you're less than you are because some suit didn't think you picked your nose well enough (or whatever).

*snuggles you*

To be honest, it didn't really hit me all that badly. I was just trying to think of so many other things and I was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Fortunately, I'm not jobless. And apparently I'm not moving after all, so I'll still be where I am right now. And my manager was trying to get me to stay anyway. So, it all worked out in the end, I guess. ^_^;

Thank you for the pep talk, though! Your talks always make me feel better. *schnoogles*

Although... I didn't pick my nose at my interview... do you think that's what he was looking for? :D

Have you tried a temp agency? I know it sounds lame, but this is like, my favorite job ever. Most have a WPM requirement that is, for a frequent computer user, ridiculously low. And then you get to bounce around from job to job, so if you hate one office, you're only there for a week anyway. It also means that, while you have responsibilities, you don't have TOO many, because they don't have a lot of time to train you, haha.

It's a fabulous, lazy, social job. You should check them out. :D
