Got a couple more interviews this week and next. I feel like nothing comes from them though. I bumble my way through questions I don’t understand, they say I did good and end the meeting, then they either ghost me or tell me no (which ghosting does too, but less direct.). I needed to email a follow up to two interviews from two weeks ago. One just finished doing all their interviews and needs to make a decision and the other said they weren’t interested. Would they have told me if I didn’t follow up with them? Probably not. And considering that’s the interview I felt more confident in, chances are the other one is a no too. It feels like I’m not qualified for anything I interview for and yet I have two degrees. Probably unearned degrees, but degrees. I think actual industry people are better at sniffing out BS and are able to tell that I’m unqualified more than any of my professors could have. I guess that’s for this best. But it really does feel like I’m just marching in circles.
That reminds me of this music video I would see every now and then on Boomerang. It would always be late at night on a Saturday or something when I see them. Sitting in the dark of my living room listening to this.

My favorite Cartoon Network Groovie is still Jabberjaw by Pain.
Ghosting is par for the course with modern employers and this job market though, aint it? They don’t want you, they don’t even give you the dignity of telling you it.
I’ve been waiting over a month just to hear back about whether this stupid job wants to interview me…… and I’m overqualified.
