Deja Vu

I, once again, did not get the job. They hired a guy doing his Master's in Architecture....

Does any one else see a pattern here?

I don't think I can handle this....

I have another job interview. With the City Planning Dept. I think I might faint. MOOOOSA

For a full recap of how I am feeling please see "Nerves"

Dissapointment

I didn't get the job.


They hired two students doing their Masters in Planning, which I guess has restored my faith in hiring people because they are the most qualified and not because of the color of their skin or whose child they are.

It still would have been nice to enter the ranks for those who are gainfully employed.

I can't say that I mind relaxing all day, but eventually my money will run out and then what will I do?

Nerves...

I have a job interview today!

It's with the City of Edmonton as an Assistant Planner and I'm so nervous. I've gone on many other job interviews in the past and I've never been nervous like I am now. At least I don't remember being nervous. It could very well be a case of "well that wasn't so bad" y'know that whoosh of relief you feel once you've finished something absolutely horrible (like writing two 20 page papers). I don't know, I've always gotten jobs that I've interviewed for, so maybe I'm okay? It's just that before there was nothing riding on the interview or the job. It was just yeah this is a cool job, I don't have to flip burgers or ask if they want fries with that. But this.... this is my future slapping me not-so-subtly on the forehead. Its saying "Hey, Bonehead! This could determine the rest of your life!" If I like what I do this summer, I will invest 2 or 3 years in a Masters program and get a planning degree. If I hate it I'll be back at ground zero.

And its a panel interview! I don't have to impress just one person, I have to impress four people! That is also adding to my nerves. I haven't been able to sleep properly since Monday when they told me they want to interview me. Shaun thinks I will get it because the Senior Planner called me 3 times and sent me an e-mail all within a half hour. He says that someone must be talking me up. I do know one of the planners, and one of my profs seems to be fairly well connected within the planning community so who knows?

But when it comes down to it, I need to stay calm and centered. I wish I still smoked. Or did yoga.

What does this mean???

So I drew a pig... and it reveals a lot about me.


Apparently, I'm a realist, direct, enjoy playing devil's advocate, secure and stubborn (me? stubborn? nah... ;) ) an excellent listener and I have a fantastic sex life.
