The Past and The Future

Well it was a fun filled Friday for me. With my phone interview, dropping off papers at my old job (for the job that I had the phone interview for), and a preliminary interview with a recruiter for another possible job.

"So how did it go?"

Well to be honest the phone interview could've went better. I fumbled a few questions that was asked of me, mostly dealing with why I wasn't currently employed. It's possibly one of the worst interviews I've ever had. I think a lot of it had to do with the briskness of how the New Yorkers do things. About half way through the interview I realized that the interviewee liked short sweet answers. No long explanations needed. Once I realized that the interview went much better. All in all, I don't think they're still that interested in me anymore. To be honest I'm not really that concerned about it either. I really didn't like the idea of working in New York anyway.

Dropping off the paper for the New York job at my old job was... well it was hard. I honestly didn't want to do it. I kinda just want to leave what happened there in the past and not revisit it in anymore. What made it even harder once I got there was how friendly several of the people that I saw were to me. It seemed like several acted like they really missed having me around. Oh well. It's in the past. I did get the papers to the correct people though so I guess in a little while I'll hear from the New York people.

The good part of my day was the preliminary interview with the recruiter. It went exceptionally well. Will I get the job? Nope. After two hours of talking with the recruiter she decided that 1) this job was to much of a step down for me because I was over qualified and 2) I just wouldn't be happy there. I'm guessing that she knows what she's talking about in both respects. She gave me a lot of new leads to look up and l'm pretty sure that I made a good enough impression that she's going to try her best to find me a job ASAP. Hopefully something will eventually turn up. She really was what I needed that day. I had felt myself slipping in confidence and slowly sliding into a self depressive state for the last several days. She picked me back up and gave me the confidence to believe that someone will hire me eventually. She even helped me craft a good answer to why I was let go from my previous job so that I wouldn't have such a hard time like I did that morning.

I just hope that I don't have to wait much longer to find a job. I'm getting pretty stir crazy here.
