A while back I posted that I was let go at my job. That was rough and a real blow to the self-esteem. I worked for the state and have 18 years in, so really want to get in my 20 for retirement purposes.
Since having no job I have felt like a crummy worm that nobody wants, and it is hard as hell for me to feel confident about going to an interview.
I have an interview for a state job tomorrow (Thursday) at 2:00 Central Time. That would be 3:00 in Boston, and noon (I think) in LosAngeles.
I AM TOTALLY ANXIOUS! MY ANXIETY CUP RUNNETH OVER!!
If ya'll could say a little prayer for me I would really appreciate it. I am praying that (well, first God's will be done), that I can think clearly, speak coherently, and don't come off looking like an idiot.
Since I've gained weight (groan) very few of my clothes fit, so I spent tonight rummaging around for the really loose ones. They will just have to do. Also it is like 102 degrees F here, and I am one big Effexor-sweat ball by the time I find a parking place downtown and waddle my way to the building. So I will go early and try to cool down. I may have to take a fan with me. ("Excuse me, sir, is there a plug nearby for my fan?")
GUYS DON'T READ THIS PARAGRAPH. Also I have hot flashes when I get stressed, and SURPRISE started my period tonight after not having one for months! That means really horrible cramps. I have vicodin, but it makes me pretty woozy. Happier than usual, though; I'm sure they would appreciate my slurred "witticisms" during the interview.
Oh, well. Please pray (or do what you do) for me. I will really appreciate it.
Many thanks,
Shar

> SharShar, When I read your msg. I couldn't believe it. It sounded just like me. I went thru the same experience - fired and lost my self confidence and self esteem was in the toliet! I finally got a job this past March and guess what - they love me and I love them. I now realize there was nothing wrong with me - I was just letting other people make me feel bad. You'll do great. Just take 10 deep breaths and keep telling yourself that you'll do great before you go in for the interveiw. Act confident even if you don't feel it. I had to laugh about the sweating. One of the interviews I went on last summer I dripped sweat from the head down all through the interview - boy was I embarrassed. I also gained a lot of weight too. I know just how you feel. You've just got to keep talking to yourself to get your self esteem back. Good luck and let me know how you do. Bunny.

Shar - That's 1:00pm Alberta time, today. Right after the lunch rush. I'll be thinking of you and sending you relaxing vibes. I'll be looking at a relaxing picture of wildflowers that is hanging in the back room. If you get nervous, you'll be able to see it, too.
> GUYS DON'T READ THIS PARAGRAPH.
This is like saying "Don't touch the red button" or "Don't look!" Sorry Shar, not reading this can't be done 8^) While you're at it, have a couple of drinks with the Vicodan. You won't get the job, but you'll give the interviewer a story he'll/she'll be able to tell at Thanksgiving for years to come. Relax, you'll do just fine (easy to say on my end).I'll be thinking of you - Cam

Here's something that has worked for me in that type of situation:
Right now, stop thinking about anything that makes you feel insecure, and start imagining the person (or people) who will be interviewing you. BUT don't imagine the interviewer as having POWER, imagine that they are even more insecure then you are. Imagine the interviewer/s as some poor shmoe doing a boring job, having a depressing day, and feeling insecure about doing the interview, because making decisions is very difficult and unpleasant.
NOW, imagine going into the interview with the attitude that you are going be as sweet and friendly as can be, so you can brighten this poor interviewer's day. Don't worry about impressing anyone, concentrate on being the type of friendly(but not overly 'familiar') individual that you would want to work with if you were in the hiring position. I know this sounds hard, but it will help you stop worrying, if you think of the interviewer as someone who has even more problems then you do and who needs a little empathy. And, you never know it could even be true!
Best wishes and I am praying! CarolAnn

Thank you all for your good thoughts and great suggestions.
I have to admit Cam's idea is tempting and would really take the pressure off!
I can see it now: "God, aren't you people burning Up in here?! I'm sweating like a pig! I need some 'water.' I have my thermos right here. Anybody join me?
Ahhhh, that's better! And plug in my fan, will you, sweetie? You know, I think we all need to just relaxxxx a little more.
OK, you had some sort of question for me?"
Seriously, I signed on to see if anyone had seen my message, and I feel so very thankful for all of the input, ideas, and time you all took to respond. I will be remembering these messages today.

Read your resume over to yourself, and any good letters of reference, to remind yourself of your skills and accomplishments, as being jobless can make you forget and lose touch with your competencies. Reading the resume helps because it is there in black and white, a strong statement to counter the negative inner voice.
Good Luck, Shar.

Actually, I ALSO had a job interview today. I wasn't sure I was going to post about it here, but the description of wearing loose clothes resonated for me, too.
I focused a lot of my nervous energy on being nervous about finding some clean clothes to wear that fit. I ended up with a loose fitting outfit (elastic waist skirt-aahh--and loose tunic overtop). It was supposed to be cool today, but it was HOT as HELL in my office, so I showed up at the interview a bit sweaty, oh well.
I can relate to the idea of being an effexor sweat bomb!!! I don't get that now, with the xr, but with the regular, I used to sweat buckets and buckets, and a lot of it from my head (there is no hiding the sweat rivers running down your face and making your damp hair stick to your forehead)!
Anyway, my interview went pretty well, though it isn't clear it will work out. But the woman said she would like to try to see if she can work something out.
I am so anxious and excited, but mostly anxious. It is so hard for me to calm down after interviews. I guess this is the kind of time when a drink seems to help calm people down, but I tend not to drink and don't want to be comatose in the am when it is time to get up (combo of meds + alcohol = not so good, I think).
I should maybe do some exercise. Maybe that would work.
Shar, I have been thinking about you all day. Hope it went well.

Shar, you're a wonderful lady with a great sense of humor. How did your interview go? Didn't see your post in time to let you know, when I have an interview or have to deal with authority figures, what works for me is imagining them on the toilet taking a dump (they're not so scary then).

Hi gals,
I'm sitting here, sending you out positive vibes and best wishes. You are both lovely people, and the prospective companies would be better for hiring you. My fingers (and toes, and eyes!) are crossed for you both, although if your personalities come across in the interviews as they do here, you should have no probs.
Let us know how they go.
Hugs and confidence,
RachP.S. (If you haven't already been) Just remember to smile lots - a happy face {even if the insides are jelly} is hard to resist.

Thank you all so much for your kind words, nudges, and attempts to corrupt me.
After waiting 45 min. for the supervisor to get done with another interview, I got in. Turns out the guy she was interviewing had got the day wrong and showed up. So she took him, and cut in to my time to answer questions. It was a very rushed interview.
The job would have been way too intense (ex., people from the legislature and other agencies wanting to have information in 20 min. because they are about to make a speech). Not a good situation. The supv. said it is not unusual for them to spend all weekend working on a project, to have it end up on the shelf.
She said a lot of people felt like they were doing a half-assed job, and I know I would have a problem with that.
So, she bolted out the door to go to a meeting and I thought for awhile, and figured I just was not masochistic enough for that position. So, I left her a very nice note saying that I'm good at brush fires, but a steady diet of that kind of intensity would make it hard for me to be at my best.
Sigh. I really need a job, but I couldn't force myself to take that one. (well, it had not actually been offered)
Plus, she said there is a lot of negativity among staff due to the high intensity.
So--THANKS for your good thoughts and prayers. It was hot, but I had 45 min. to cool off.
xoxo
Shar

Glad the interview went well - even though you haven't come out of it with a job, at least you now can have the confidence knowing that you got through an interview postively. That should make the next one just that little bit easier.Hugs,

(I have no personal experience for that statement but I have observed it work for others). It sounds as if you may have a potential employer who wants to make things work. As an employer, I can tell you that's worth alot. Good Luck

Shar, the way you describe it, it seems you are very centered, and aware of what would be a good environment for you and what would not. You know yourself well and are clear about your boundaries. That is a terrific ability, and having it hold up in the face of unemployment and stress is pretty admirable.
Also, I think you did a good job of picking up on how the place runs, as it seems that the superviosor acted it out in how she managed her time with the interviews.
Sorry this one wasn't "it" and hope more opps come along real soon.
In the meantime, it was interview experience.

Hi, All--
I'm more energized today and wanted to write and say thanks again. What a wonderful mix of encouraging notes, humour, shared experiences. It really helped me to know that other people had gone through the same types of things.
I did a cut and paste on the encouraging messages, put them in a document so I can print it out and have it all on one page. I can reread the messages and be smilin' and stylin' on my way to an interview...if I ever get one...
I think all the prayers helped because the experience and interview played out like a movie where the plot was "show Shar what a chaotic, stressful place this is." And I got to see it, from the interruptions, and delays, to staff cursing about the idiot on the phone, to the frozen computer I was supposed to do my exercise on and nobody around to fix it. (Yes, I froze it up and I don't know how. Just tried to print and got a low memory msg. and it froze and I couldn't work anymore)
Even before the interview it was strange. I went to the bathroom to put on lipstick so I wouldn't look so scary, and there was someone really getting sick. Then as I was wrestling with my hair, she came out and sat on the couch and really looked like she was going to faint. So, I asked her was there a coworker I could call, and she couldn't really talk, just shook her head and mumbled. So, I told her to stay, and I would have somebody look in on her. Then I left and tried to find out if they had designated "first aid" type staff, and asked two staff people to have someone check on her. I hope she was ok; I stopped by the bathroom on my way out and she was gone.
The interviewer called today and left a message saying that she understood my decision, and thought I would be a valuable employee, and nice things. So, no burned bridges (a good thing).
Anyway, all around it was good. I did not think I would be so anxious, and it is good to know I may be next time so I can prep better. Also, I will start earlier trying to find something to wear that doesn't make me look like a house.
Noa, I hope your interview results in a wonderful job for you!
Thanks, all.
xoxo
