deathpixieAnd it looks like I'm never getting off.
Missed out on that job I got interviewed for yesterday, which really, really bites. I'm so sick of putting in the effort of writing aplications and going to interviews and then being told I'm not fucking good enough. I'm sick of crappy pay and menial work and not being allowed to advance because I can't jump through the damn interview hoops. I know I'm good enough to be a manager, they know I'm good enough, so why the hell won't they give me a chance?
Some good - Peter (the boss at Sunshine) is going to meet with me next week to give me detailed feedback on my technique. So next time - and may it be sooner rather than later - I'll hopefully do better.
I knew if I got excited about this I wouldn't get it. Bloody kiss of death, actually hoping I get something.

All my experience is court-related, and the only thing I seem to be able to apply for is lower-paying, menial administrative positions, which I then don't get because I don't touch type.
It's not so much wanting to fit in, it's more finding something they'll let me do. And since all my experience seems to be in the courts, the courts seem to be where I'm going to be stuck. Especially since I don't have the money to do further training because my current wage doesn't allow it.
But I do appreciate the thought.
