Hey everyone... I havent been around in a few days... Dunno why... just havent come online much... I'm really stressing this whole 'unemployed' thing... I have an interview today and I'm getting kinda nervous... I really need to be working and I'm just scared that this is gonna be like every other interview I've been on... wish me luck... or some other kind of encouragement.... I'm sorry... I dont know what I need or want right now... I guess Im just really lost... have you ever felt like that... as tho you're not really living your life.. you're just watching it go by.... that's how I feel right now...

I think it's normal to stress over things like that. Just prepare yourself as best as you can.

Good Luck and hug a kitty before you leave. (Okay, you may want to hug kitty before you put on your interview outfit..
)

sucks interviewing for job after job and not getting chosen, feels like rejection when in reality it's just a competitive thing. Too many people out of work. I've applied for crappy paying jobs before only to have someone way over qualified beat me out of it, a bummer feeling. It takes awhile but you have to hang in there, focus on the positive things in life.

I know how that feels like... but dun give up and continue to feel confident about yourself. If you dun get chosen for a job, it's not that you are no good but just that others are slightly better... hang in there!

Keep plugging on - things will come good. Life's not just passing you by - you're trying to do something about it. You're determined and you persevere - you'll get something.

Sending loads of vibes your way.

Good Luck today!! Just remember how you feel on the inside will show on the outside. Go in to that interview feeling confident and comfortable with yourself.

Also I know that feeling of being lost -- all I can say is that you are not alone.

Hope it goes well today!! Julie

The comments that I have about the United States' current job market are best saved for the IMO forum.
But I will say that it is always darkest before the dawn and, at some point, your life will take on a whole new, happier meaning

I know you are stressing about being out of work. Something will come about eventually, I'm sure. Don't get discouraged, hard as that might seem right now.
Best wishes and good luck.

Sorry to hear you're troubled Liza. I know if you stay the course, a whole world of possibilities exist in NY.

I know how it feels when you keep applying for jobs and don't get them. Keep in mind that you WILL find a job and it will probably be better than the ones you've applied for so far.

Thanx for the words of support everyone... I have a second interview on Friday for the position I interviewed for yesterday... I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much because I really can't bare another let down... As Adrian says... 'you cant be disappointed if you have no expectations...' Anyway... I'll let you all know how it goes... Thanx again...

Liza, I think you're great by the way, and always so positive on the Boards. You will do great on Friday!
Do channel that into your esteem and your job search. But let me tell you...this past year has been so unsettling for just about everyone I've spoken to. People have had many of the same ambiguous feelings....that fuzzy vague stuff that nothing is moving forward for them...a LOT. I have too! it's how I feel right now.....as I didn't get the job I went out for and now everyone is scratching their heads, like they were so sure. It's a very vague time for me right now too. BUT: positive atoms are positive charges which set positive actions to change everything!!! Don't lose your faith.
