(no subject)
I just got an e-mail from a corporation I applied to at the end of January. They "have decided to move other candidates forward at this time," and can't tell me why I didn't get the job. Well, I'm assuming it's because I must have sounded like an idiot in some of my answers on their assessment tests. I'm not a stupid person, and those tests were ridiculous.
I really haven't applied to much else besides that job because I was pretty confident/excited about it. I kept telling myself (and others) that I wasn't putting all my eggs in one basket, so to speak, but I totally did. I am not finding much in the Madison area that I think would make me happy - and maybe that's the whole problem...Work isn't supposed to make you happy, but I really, really just want a job that will. Not that I expect every day to be perfect and problem-free, but I want to be able to enjoy at least one small, tiny aspect of it. I do not think I'll be fulfilled by going back into the retail or food service world, and those seem to be the most realistic options for me, besides office work. I keep looking up administrative assistant-type work, but I'm so afraid of being stuck behind a desk making spreadsheets every day...
Ugh. What makes everything so much worse right now is that I've made finding a job my life's purpose, which definitely isn't the point. I mean, a job is kind of necessary at this point, but it's not what would give my life meaning. I just feel so useless and stuck sitting at home like this. :(
