Interviews & Dating

I never know looking for a job is like dating. You go through the list of available positions, and narrow down to those that you are interested in or more importantly, qualified to even send in your resume. Then you wait to see if the other party replies, and give you an opportunity to sell yourself. Sometimes, they just totally ignore you. Or if they can/are nice, they send you an email to said you have not be short listed. And usually, they will regret that only short listed candidates will be notify. Sighs.

Then when you are finally called up for an interview. You get all excited & a rosy picture is paint immediately by the call/email confirmation. You start with all the possiblities and squeeze your brain on how to impress on the interview. You dress right & have the butterfly jitters long before the actual date. Sometimes, you can't believe your luck and some time you just try your luck.

After the interview, or sometimes even during the midst of the interview, you know the job is not right for you or that somehow things aren't as rosy as it seem from the start. Its wasn't what you had imagine or even want. Then there are those that you want it so much yet know at the back of the mind, the shortlisted call is never gonna come. Heart broken or not, the whole cycle of continuing the job search has to go on.

Then reality bites when you get the call/email/no news, that you were right after all. Or the bubble burst and that you were wrong with your assumptions, and confidance dives.

I will have like to end this post with a bang! But my interviews result pretty much mirror my dating life... And its kind of depressing. I miss the "ohmp" in my life.
