Hi everybody!
I am still looking for a job, it's really tough. I go on interviews and get bombarded with questions, especially the tricky questions. And its tough to deal with rejection. Employers ask me why I left my last job and why am I not looking for a job that I got my degree in and tell me I'm over qualified or hire someone who is more qualified than me. I think I may be a little depressed. I feel like my situation is hopeless. I am the kind of person that works hard and I do all this work to find a job and feel my efforts are in vain.
Sometimes I wonder if my scar on my chest can potentially cause employers to not hire me. I usually wear blouses that do not show my scar, but one time I did wear a shirt that did not cover up all of my scar. Maybe I should make sure my scar is covered.
I'm freaking out because I fear rejection and I need a job and I need so many other things in my life right now.
Sometimes I think maybe I am too focused on finding a job, but if I am not then I will not be able to find a job. But if I spend too much time on job searching then I start going crazy!!
I recently joined Toastmasters a group for public speaking, thinking this will help me to do better on intereviews and be more comfortable around people.
sometimes, its hard for me to get out of the house and meet new people.
So, maybe this will help.
I feel so powerless, helpless...
Like when is my life ever gunna get any better....
My dad is not understanding of my situation and that doesn't help too much.
I live with my parents...they have high expecations...my dad thinks I should have my own life by now....own a house, married, good job.
I have none of these.
Living with my parents is making me feel like a loser. Why should I continue to measure my life up to what my parents think or say. I need to get away from their influence. I need to move out and be on my own.
I need to feel like I can do something good and important with my life.
And work on my own goals and not my parents expectations.
