I returned from the interview, and sitting here trying to compose a nice and gracious thank you letter. I am trying to do something to increase my chances of getting this job. Can I sacrifice some goats? After long enough time of unemployment a confident professional (can you believe I was one once upon a time?) starts to doubt seriously why anyone would ire me.

People seen today (employment unrelated):
- a mounted Mountie
- a cute snuggly Muslim couple
- a pharmacist who is, probably, a lost twin of the head of the Rome office of W&H (Ilona?) – well, slightly less flamboyant and not evil, but the way she talks – intonations, accent, gestures…

Don't be down on yourself, the job market sucks right now. I know so many bright, talented people that eithrt don't have jobs or who have them but should have something much better. Good luck!

Thank you, It is just sometimes I feel that everyone is able to find a job, but me. Hence getting depressed. A lot of friends - in similar circumstances did find jobs.

Sacrifice the pharmacist.

You think so? She was nice enough. ::sigh:: How crazy is that I am seriously considering it? ::is ashamed::

It's probably too late by now, but - I hope it went well, and good luck with the job.

In general, though? Be positive (but not ridiculously so), as honest as you can reasonably be, and sacrifice the pharmacist. :-D

There is still hope - till Friday, anyway, when they are supposed to call. So thank you, I really really hope it went well.
