Interviews, they suck ass Options

[sin]

Right now, I’m sitting here and the tears are running down my face. I won’t be getting this job. I dressed up and looked rather nice (in my opinion). I wore a skirt, pantyhose, and heels with a nice mint green button down dress shirt and matching jewelry and coordinated makeup. I stood tall and summoned up all the bravery I had in me, but that wasn’t enough. I even showed up to the interview fifteen minutes early. The first thing, when I walked through the door, was I looked down at the sign in sheet and saw one of my old supervisor’s names listed with “interview” written right next to it. That dashed all hope I had of getting this job, and all of my confidence as well. Her name was the last name I expected to see written on that paper. I feel horrible.

Talking to my friend Daniel was really helpful. He just happened to sign onto msn this evening and we talked for a bit. It made me feel a little better but I still am worried I won’t get this job.

Here’s the conversation between Daniel and me in case you’re interested.

Daniel: whats up
nic: surprised to see you online.
Daniel: i know
nic: just sitting here, i happened to look at msn and see you on.
nic: whats up?
Daniel: so what did you think of the interview
nic: i think i could have been a whole lot more confident and "sold" myself better if i hadn't seen pat's name on the list when i signed in.
Daniel: Do NOT worry about that
nic: that was a real downer
Daniel: you did great thats all i can say, k?
nic: thanks, you made me feel better.
nic: i came home and cried.
Daniel: WHY
nic: because i was upset! i was thinking, "pat has a shitload of education and experience on me. all ive got against her is personality." and thought also that if pat applied for the job, there were other people i know that are more qualified for it than i am. i was really discouraged. thats just my thinking, you know me. the everlasting pessimist.
Daniel: Well lets just say this, you have nothing to worry about K. I gave an excellent reference. It is up to the others to decide. Because i was a reference, my vote doesn't count. But my reference does.
nic: do you have any idea when a decision is going to be made?
Daniel: they should make a decision by friday
