When You Are Halfway Up, You Are Also Half Way Down


I've been meaning to write about Paula Jaime Salvosa and the incident that earned her the ire of social media.  Unfortunately, I'm so distracted and can seem to gather my thoughts to create one coherent post.

Today was such a bad day for me.  I feel so down.  The other day, I was in Eastwood for an interview.  It went really well.  Those were the times when you can confidently say, "I nailed it!"  The interviewer gave me positive feedback that kept my hopes high.  So I showed up again for the final interview.  I really thought I'll be back in the game soon.

All my hopes went down the drain when the interviewer asked me, "you do know that you are over qualified for this, right?" That question made me confused until I told her the expectation that I have based both on their job advertisement and my first interview.  As it turns out, they were not looking for the position I was applying for.  Not that they were no longer looking for it, the position never existed in the first place.  Moreover, the specialisation that I was looking for was also not a match.  How can this happen?  I applied and got interviewed for an opening that does not exist.  Words cannot describe what I just felt: embarrassment, range, disappointment, pity all rolled into one.

Now I'm back to zero.  I know I should stay positive but it's just so hard to after all that's been happening to me lately.  Right now, I can only hope that things start to pick up soon.
