Job Searching, Interviews and Rejection

Hello,

Last Friday I had a job interview, and today I have been rejected for the umpteenth time. My interviewer, said that I did well in both the interview and the written assessment at the end. I feel that I have wasted 4 years of my life in higher education, filling my head with a load of absolute garbage that I will never use. I am now at the stage that I do not even know what I want to do with my life anymore.

Has anyone else found themselves in this situation?

  • i always considered a job interview to be a performance - I would play the part of their perfect candidate - they were just gate-keepers preventing me seeing what the job was really all about - and in my experience, the advert and the job realty rarely match up.   All I had to do was convince these people to let me see the real job and it would then put the ball into my court to decide if I wanted to do the job.

    The whole thing was just about extending my mask into a high-energy, interactive nice chap for an hour or so - which was very tiring but worth the effort.
