Question

I just heard from one place that I went for interview. I thought I did great but she just inform me that I didn't get the job. I'm kind of feeling down now. I do great in my interview yet I don't get the job. I'm starting to lose my confidence. I been unemployed for 3 months. I have in these past 3 month got some job offers but I didn't like the job so I didn't take it. Nor I search a lot for jobs. I had a interview yesterday but I called and cancelled it and asked to go today and she called but I never return her call nor I feel like it now after hearing the bad news. What should I do. The last place I didn't get the job should I email her to get some feedback. What should I write? Should I go to interview today and call her even through i'm feeling very down

The new interview is at play I don't want to work. I don't like the company nor the job. So if i take it it will only be for few months

Answer 1

Don't ever give up. God hasn't given up on you, don't give up on yourself. Have you considered civil service (local, state, ferderal ) gov. jobs?? the pay and benefits are really good, once you pass your probationary period, it is very hard to get fired, they are considered as careers. You didn't mention what type of work you are looking or quailified for.
do this,
1. get a tablet, on one piece of paper write all your quailifications,(the things you are good at) and what quailifys you (the things you know that make you so good at these things).
2. on another piece of paper, write down all your hobbies, People have gotten some good jobs like this, because we are usually good at things we like to do.
3. on yet another write down all the things that you absolutely will not do.
4. now take list one and two compare them for similarities, then write down every job you can think of that comes close to matching this. These are the jobs you should be looking for. Sometimes it is the things we do every day and take for granted that may be the skills, a potential employer is looking for.
Are you good with computers?? Perhaps you could work from home as an independant contractor. Many companies are doing this more and more, because they save $$ on benefits(you provide your own). Blue cross, for example has group health policy for people that are self employed. The good thing is there is no commute, you are your own boss. You can start small, outline all the services that you can provide(working from home) then, make/order business stationary (staples is very reasonable). You can make up flyers, and hand them out everywere you go, buy 50-100 postage stamps and send a business card along with one of your flyers and a letter of introduction to as many companies as you can find , that you believe can use your services. Take out small ads (better for the budget) in local throw away papers. If you only do one thing and you are really good at it, and are willing to put some sweat equity, time and faith in yourself, they will come, slowly at first, but they will come.
Consider doing a couple of freebies to get the word out about what you do and how good you are at it. And Be patient, in the mean time you could look for part time work to to provide additional income.
just a few ideas
God bless all your efforts

Answer 2

1.If you don't like the job, company or their product don't apply in the 1st place. Being unemployed for a few months is better than working for a place that you don't like or believe.

2. Don't stop applying for jobs that interest you even if you get a negative response. Keep on applying.

3. This may sound a bit cliché, but not getting a job for which you were interviewed, even though you thought your performance was excellent is actually a good thing. Il give you 2 reasons for this.
The emloyer might have thought you have the necessary qualifications & experience and that you were excellent indeed, but maybe you wouldn't have fit the culture. If it is such a case trust me its better that you didnt get the job.

The other thing i learnt is from a personal experience. I was looking for a job for almost 10months. i applied to almost all the top companies. I know i did well but never got the job. i was highly demotivated. But after 10 months i got my dream job at an excellent company where i am employed now. While being unemployed i analysed the culture & performance of the companies that i did go for interviews for, and believe me, i am glad i didnt get selected for those jobs.

4. Keep applying and don't give up. You will come accross a very good job but you wouldn't know it if you stop applying.

I wish you all the very best!!!

Answer 3

Be there for her and try and get her to talk to her parents... By her talking to them gives her more options on wether or not she wants to keep it or even adoption she has more options now than she will later. Her parents will find out eventually just make sure it's not to late. And be a good friend and try and help/guide her to make the choices she wants and not what anyone "wants" her to do because she am has to deal with it later on in life no matter what she decides... And like the girl before said her parents will grow to the idea and yes there's a chance they'll loose it but the won't hurt her or the baby. So encourage her to make her decisions that will benefit her in the end.

Answer 5

1. Sounds like your depressed.
2. Sounds like you need some interviewing and interviewing etiquette lessons.
3. If you want to eat, you've got to work. It may not be your dream job, but if it puts a roof over your head, it's worth trying.

Answer 6

get real and get a job. Unemployed and yet you are turning jobs down? When they let you down you are complaining. I am sorry, I am unemployed and I can do almost anything, i.e. any job just to be employed.

Answer 7

Sincerely "Believe in God", and pray neighbor. God will place you in the right job.
