I've had a rough week. I don't know quite how to explain it. I've felt emotional and moody and let down and bored. I felt the worst I've ever felt since I have been unemployed.
The funny thing is, after the disappointing interview the other day, I've had several calls about other interesting opportunities. I would say more in this week than the last 3 months combined. But it hasn't helped my emotional state at all. I struggled through the phone interviews trying to sound upbeat and personable, and in no way did I feel it. It was so unlike me. At times, I really just wanted to burst into tears. And to top it all off I haven't been feeling well either...so maybe that is the main contributor, or am I not feeling well BECAUSE of my emotions...who knows...but I want it to be over!!
I have another phone interview today at 930am. One of the calls I recieved this week was from a Recruiting Firm based in NJ, but they have a small office out here as well. It sounds really interesting and has a decent base plus commissions. I would be working on their biggest account (a Bank) recruiting contract IT people. I had a really good conversation with the guy in NJ and he passed my resume along and I will be speaking with the Manager for this area today. I've also recieved a few more calls about Executive Admin positions. Not sure any of these will pan out, but I am willing to give it a shot. I will do almost anything at this point!!!
I'm hoping my emotional rollercoaster of a week is just a little blip. I've tried really hard to remain positive these last months but it just caught up with me I suppose....I'm allowing myself this week, but I know it isn't the right attitude and I have to pull myself out of it. I'm not going to get anywhere feeling sorry for myself...this I know!!!
So, it's Friday and I've been up since 5am...I applied to a few jobs this morning, I'm going to do my interview later and then be done with looking for work for the week!!
I am going out tonight to my friend Jenna's event at Fort Mason (Water 1st) with Nicole and I am going to relax and have some fun. On Monday, I will continue my search and with a better attitude!!
