amancalledpony's blog post - My current life situation............

This is not for sympathy. But more for me.
One of the things of being unemployed is the roller coaster effect. One day you have a large number of positions to apply to. Then a down when you hear nothing. Then a high when you get an interview or a second interview.
But then you have a big down, much like the first fall on a coaster when you don't get to the finals. You know when they should let you know, hell they have to make travel plans for you. So you have a total letdown. Everything you are thinking. Your plans. Your wishes. Out the window when the window for being a finalist passes.
You life passes before you. Why others and not me. What could I do different. Why does NO ONE want to hire me? I go thru the check boxes. Educated: yes. Experience: yes. Location: Maybe an issue. Age: I sure hope not.
At times it is like a soldier waiting to hear they will be shipping out. Then they don't. Having to stay in a hell hole limbo until someone who doesn't understand the situation of the war zone, decides if they move out or have to try to stay alive for another few months.
And so it goes................
