I get more nervous about interviews for jobs I don't want than for jobs I do want. Why is that?

I think it's because interviews for jobs you don't want present a double conundrum: there's the stress of going to a job interview, but there's also the stress that you might GET the job that you don't want, which will put you in the unfortunate position of deciding of choosing between an undesirable job on one hand and no job on the other.

On the flip side, you open yourself up to the risk of being rejected for a job you didn't even want in the first place. I got rejected by a place I was passionately contemptuous of, and it was the weirdest ego blow. Ok, I didn't want to work there, but damnit, I wanted to reject them!
