I sometimes feel like I dont know where I'm going to go in life sometimes. It's only for brief moments, but I feel like I may need more money. I really hate the process of job interviews. I run into all kinds of idiots who make assumptions about you, then assume you have no future if you dont go to college or have a college education. I find it irritating and very dumb. Because honestly, if a person like me wasn't motivated to do anything in life, then why the hell am I at a job interview.

Judgemental people are annoying. Honestly, I'm just venting with this post. Not like I'm strung out, all sad and stuff, wondering what life is about.
Honestly just maybe, it's just stress in life. Maybe it's just a little pressure. I know I can overcome, but honestly I dont appreciate the stress. Maybe I'm hungry, and irritated. Anywyas I feel like venting here, in this post.

The whole process of being "Interviewed" is somewhat perplexing.

In jut a few short minutes, this stranger gets to decide if you are :
A Good Person
Qualified
Trustworthy
Hard working
Dedicated
Dependable
Intelligent
Do You Work Well With Others..............................Etc.

Yeah, interviews suck, don't they they? :-) :-)

Good Luck :-)

Wallybear, I'm not being interviewed, yet. I'm contemplating even filling out the application.
I honestly dont know if I want to deal with the stress at all. Idiots judging me is not too hot.
I'm dealing with my depression and getting better, but I don't know if the stress of a job where I have to come in all the time is good for me or not, with my condition.

I don't know if it's a nice place to work or not. Some jobs just like to treat people like shit for no reason. Some people get off on making other people miserable, and I honestly dont know if I want to even put up with that, even though I dont know that exists yet. However, that comes with every job but I have a light job already which gives me some money. Honestly, I just want peace and happiness.

The world sucks for a lot of people and I want to avoid being miserable in life. Growing old and having nothing to show for it. I want to be old and have plenty of assets to pass to my children.

Life is hard these day's and can be very sad, but I must tell you that I feel your pain and if you keep looking you'll find something perfect for you!
Good Luck

I know where you are at. I said yesterday I may have to look for a job for financial reasons and some days I don't even think I can leave to go to work. What to do?

job interviewing is like a yoyo, your emotions are being bounced around on a lil string as you try to find your place to fit into a job. I'm always anxious when I tell myself its time to start lookin for a new job..it doesn't end until im well into bein hired and im more confident that this is the place i'll stay for a while..

You might want to talk all of this over with your doctor to determine if you're up for the pressures and stresses of job searching and going to work right now. If you're still kind of fragile from the depression it might be better if you waited until you felt stronger. Just a suggestion.
