we all have a chance as long as we breathe air. it's just a matter of time for circunstances. when the time is right your time will be here. i believe in you for what it is worth.

You have just as much a chance as anyone else Mel. Don't jump to conclusions, just be patient and wait and see what happens. If you don't get it, you'll find something else.

Life is going to be FULL of disappointments and minor setbacks, don't let it bring you down.

Keep your head held high and move on to the next task. It will be okay. Stay strong! You can do it! You're doin fabulous. :)

Keep your head up, Me. You don't know if you didn't get the job so try to think positively. If this doesn't work out then the right thing will. Just keep looking and applying. Your course work will help as well.

So what you are saying is that you have no chance of landing another job ever again?? For some reason, we alcoholics, tend to think everything is permanet. My life will be over if I lose my job, my life will be over if my significant other leaves me, my life is over if my dog dies. Actually, most things in life are temporary. We just have trouble accepting things and letting them go. If you get the job great, but keep in mind that if you dont, you may land the job that will mean more to you than this one. Dont seek out your happiness in things material. Dont sit around freaked about it. Have you put in applications at other potential employers? I lost my sales job yesterday. It was just that, a job. I am thankful i still have my other job. If I lost that one, I would look for another. Dont get mired in things you cannot control. Focus on the things you can. Say the serenity prayer to yourself again and let go of this.

Call them at 6pm sharp and show your interested,but know that it is not the world's job to give us what we want at exactly the time we want it.You can find little peace until you accept that.Worse case scenario:They hire somebody else,God forbid!Are you going to use that as an excuse to drink today?Seems in the past that when things didn't go as you planned(or even when you think they wouldn't),you drank over it,causing even more problems.Whatever happens or doesn't happen today remember that there is absolutely NO valid excuse to pick up a drink today.DON"T DRINK!NO MATTER WHAT!You did what you could,you applied for the job.That is more than some people would have done...now leave the results up to God.That's my two cents!

Focus on the spiritual and the material will fall into place in God's time. For me, recovery is all about learning to let go of my timeline and accepting, embracing and eventually seeing the wisdom and care in God/the Universe's timeline. I often confuse my wants with my needs. I may not have all that I want. but I have everything that I need and God now often protects me from what i want.

Maybe you are right, maybe you will be pleasantly surprised.

Worst case scenario, you got some good practice in for the next interview somewhere else. Take what positives you can out of the situation, use it to be a little better next time and DO NOT let it trash all the progress you've made!

Mel, your negative thoughts will not serve you in any way. You must believe you are just as capable and qualified as anyone else. You submitted your application for the job for a reason. You obviously knew you had a chance for the job. Believe in yourself! I believe in you!

Hi Mel. Welcome to the real world. I can't speak for how things are done in the UK, but that's how things are done in the States....You spend days and weeks crafting a perfect resume, get an interview and get turned down. It's not you, it's the way of life. People get turned down for a job WAY MORE OFTEN than they get the job.

It has nothing to do with you or your worth--it's just the way life is out here.

Keep trying and go after jobs that suit you.

Not every dream comes true and everyone has an equal chance. If you don't land this job, possibly it's because there's something out there different waiting for you.

REMEMBER - even on the roughest of days - IT'S YOUR ATTITUDE, NOT YOUR APTITUDE THAT DETERMINES YOUR ALTITUDE - Zig Ziglar.....

When you give up on yourself, so will everyone else - Hang in there, something is out there for you.

Peace and prayers are with you.

I've stopped speculating on interviews years ago. My opinions on the interviews I've been in during the past 30 years, I was always hired on what I thought was a bad interview and never a call back on what I thought was a good interview.
You don't know yet, so let it ride.
Send an e-mail or something and thank them for the interview.
Do a one-up!

Carebear, you always say something that makes my day better!
