Just grrrrrrr. If you actually read this blog, or my other one (http://adam.gerstein.net) then you might know that I'm unemployed. I was laid off over a year ago and I'm still trying to find work.
There is some work out there. And I'm actually seeing - rather than hearing about - signs that the economy is actually improving. But it doesn't seem to matter. I've interviewed for many many many MANY jobs, and nothing seems to come of it. I've applied for 100 times the number I've interviewed for. Nothing. Not, to quite Douglas Adams, an electronic sausage.
I've determined that I suck when it comes to interviewing. I've also determined that I get incredibly nervous when I'm interviewing, and that's part of the problem.
But what really gets me is that there is no way whatsoever for a person who applies for a job and doesn't get it to get any kind of feedback. I want to know why it is that I didn't get the job. Was the other person more qualified? Cuter? Less intimidating? A better lay? Well, except for that last one, I guess - that's just too much info.
But what the fuck? I've got all this experience, and a will to work. A strong will to work.
Hell, at this point I think I just might be willing to KILL to get work.
But it doens't matter one bit.
