Today was a really frustrating day. Office work was too much to bear. Thought I could leave this job of 18 years and start a new working life elsewhere. Went for an interview last week for a totally new profession which is teaching English. Current job in the bank really sucks. Thought the interview went well with good responses from the interviewer.
After checking with a close friend who is working there about how my interview went, boy, was I in shock! I never thought the interviewer would regard me as 'not showing enough confidence'. Some questions posed to me seemed to be a test of my capability, and my hesitation in my other responses could have well confirmed it. Well, how was I to respond to questions directed to me regarding the new job when I have no experience in it?
After knowing where I stand, I felt really embarrassed at how I performed then, and how over confident I was, and to assume they would take me in. I was really hoping to say goodbye to my current office job in view of the work situation which is getting worse. Everyday, for the past one year, I dread going to work. There was a good chance and I really blew it!
I hope to get entangled in my dream of frustration, with patterns repeating over and over again, and never wake up to reality..

Hi - gosh, what an awful shock for you. Maybe the interviewer lacked experience. Why not approach them direct for first hand feed back - can you do that ? Certainly do not dwell on it. Keep applying for those jobs, i predict you will be lucky with number 5.
:o)
