Around and Around the Job Wheel Goes
I’ve lost track of how many interviews I’ve been on this year and I won’t ever try to count the number of resume’s I’ve sent out. The sheer numbers boggle my mind. What I have gained through the whole process is a better sense of what working environments I would feel comfortable. I scope out every place like an eager spy hoping to catch the favorable eye of one manager or director that would show me how to be part of the company, rather than simply an employee.
But, the ceremony of dressing up in what I consider t be uncomfortable clothes and acting on my absolute best and unnatural behavior gets old. Especially when you aren’t rewarded for your efforts. Keeping a positive mindset is very important because nobody wants to hired a jaded prospect. But maintaining high standards of what you want out of a job and what you’re capable is tough.
One must always be careful not sell themselves short due to desperation. Integrity is important.
