I received a very nice rejection e-mail from my job interview. I kind of figured I would, so I didn't have my heart on the line and am not really disappointed. We never spoke of salary, so I don't know how much money I am not making.
The positive side is that I know I can speak confidently about my experience and my philosophy in this particular field. It was interesting to learn a little about this company and that particular industry. I am telling myself that I should not be afraid of job interviews because that one wasn't scary at all. I do need a job because money is a big problem, rather it is the lack of money that is a big problem.
It would be nice to go on more interviews. Kind of. Okay, I'd rather not go on interviews, but if that is what it takes to get a job then that is what I must do. After all, an interview is just two people checking each other out. I am interviewing them, the company, and its culture as much as they are interviewing me. I wouldn't want to work in a place that isn't a good fit as they say.
I just need one job where I fit, where I can thrive, where I can earn money. Just one.
I felt darn good talking about my accomplishments.
THAT's what I liked about the interview.

Job Interview Resistance
I had a job interview Thursday morning and did NOT want to go. I thought about calling it off and was looking for ways to rationalize why I canceled the interview just in case anyone asked. Getting out of bed, completing the application, and getting ready was like running in water against a strong gush of wind.
I am so glad I went to the job interview. I felt very comfortable with the hiring manager and very comfortable talking about my experiences. When the interview was over, I was very surprised an entire hour had passed.
This past afternoon I have a great sense of accomplishment and relief. As a plus, the sun came out.
Right now, I am not concerned about getting the job. I am just happy I pushed myself and had a good interview. Sometimes events are better than expected.
And no, I don't look like anyone in the photo.
