mr potato Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I have just been told I have been selected for an interview. It is for a retail position in my local town. For some reason, I feel terrified. I was looking for retail positions, but then settled back into thinking I would go back to software. I am so confused.

mr potato Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I feel a lot better now. I replied to their email, and I am going for the interview on Friday. I will have a better idea afterwards. It will be great to have an income again, and it could be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr potato Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 The interview was pretty good, She showed me around the shop, told me what my duties would be. I am a bit cagey, need to wait a couple of weeks for the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr potato Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 just feeling superstitious. and paranoid .... I am very PARANOID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threemoons Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I think it's normal to be anxious toward the outcome. Maybe feeling paranoid is your way of expressing your worries. Try to soothe, I'm sure it will go well. You have nothing to loose, right? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr potato Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 yes threemoons, in this part of my life, it is all going well. I am trying not to think about it, in case of disappointment. If I fall, I will just get up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr potato Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 It was a no. Seemingly they have had candidates of high qualities which is why I was not selected. Obviously a sociapathic boss in hindsight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threemoons Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Ah, sorry for you, Mr Potato. I find it always frustrating when a job is refused. Hope your next try will be a yes. Hugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr potato Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 A nice local job will suit me. I want to save up to buy a jeep. Also want to some money away, so I can go traveling, with jeep. Plus I want to buy some other stuff too. I figure, if I work for 1-2 years, this should work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle59 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 (((Mr Potato))).xxx I'm sorry to hear this news, but what is great, is that you have a goal, and another position/job will present itself, and you will be just the person they want and need, so that you can jeep travel away.xxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr potato Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I think I get all my hopes up at interview, and then it is dashed, and I fall into a hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle59 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 ((((Mr potato))))..........Have you seen any jobs locally in the last days that would interest you? I admire you for going for the last job.xxx Have you got any other interviews lined up?...........Maybe, when you feel up to it you could apply for a whole load of jobs you might be interested in..............sometimes just having the one adds a whole load of pressure and expectations, and when it doesn't happen, there's nothing else to strive for or look forward to................I know all this is easier said than done, but it's just a thought to help you get out of the hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threemoons Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Keep hope buddy, one day you'll have an interview and you'll be chosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
