Disappointment

[susanreads]

I had an interview this week. It was the first real interview I've had for months, and the best prospect (in being the right kind of challenge, and in a suitable location) for at least 2 years. I also wasn't rubbish at the interview this time.

I got a letter yesterday to say I hadn't got the job. I also got an email inviting me to an interview next week, but that's not nearly such a good job, excessive hours, and a lot further to travel.

So it's back to feeling like I'm never going to get paid work again. If I get funding for the course I want to do, that'll be interesting, but it'll just widen the range of things I can plausibly apply for in competition with 317 younger, fitter extroverts.

I think my best chance is for somebody to bring down the government (there's no shortage of candidates). If they were creating jobs instead of deliberately destroying them, I might catch a break.
