So, once again, here I am doing the blog thing. I have come to realize if this thing is going to work, I will have to abide by a few things:
1. This blog is for me. I do not care if anyone else ever reads it. This is not an attempt to go viral, make a side hustle, or turn in to a book. It is for me to write, ruminate, and capture memories I forget as I grow older.
2. I think that is it. Do not beat yourself up if you do not write every day. Write when you want. Enjoy it
3. Do not forget your password
So, what is today's entry. I have interviewed for four jobs in the past eight months. Actual in person interviews and was asked back for a second interview in each case. I have not received any job offers. I am doing something wrong. I am jealous of Dana who can walk in to any interview and be offered a job. I do not know how she does it, but she does. Every time.
She tells me to be confident, be polite, get them to talk about themselves. I dress in a tie, I am knowledgeable about all of these positions, but I do not get the job. I have e-mails thanking me for the effort imputing to this interview and how talented I am and wishes for my future success. Just not with their company because they found someone else to give the job to. The job that you wanted. I realize this has to happen it is just hard to dust yourself off, put on a smile, and start sending your resume to anonymous e-mail addresses wondering if a human will ever see it.
I dream of contacting the manager hiring for this new position and saying stop your search. I am the guy. However, until the, I am back to scanning job boards and looking for jobs that make sense.
