Seriously....WTF???

I think I'm in serious need of a paradigm shift! I have been on the hunt for a new job for quite some time now, I won't tell you exactly how many months because the number depresses me, I think I'm just about out of steam! I just need to write and get this weight off my chest.

I have been on many interviews in the last months, most recently as yesterday. Each rejection notice is even more painful than the last. I don't know why, most of the jobs I interview for I KNOW aren't right for me, but I go on the interview anyway, for the practice. But at this point, I am just bewildered, I think I need a mental healh day from work. Here are the reasons I need a new job...

1. More Pay

That's the only real reason I am trying to move on, it's the only reason people move on to new jobs. Money is the motivating factor, plain and simple!!! Why is my quest proving to be so difficult? What can't I catch a break? Am I "blowing" my interviews because I don't really want to leave my low-paying position? Am I sub-consctiously afraid to leave my comfy little job? I'll admit it, I have a very comfy job. I'm good at what I do, I can do the work in my sleep. My boss works out of another location, so I never see her, although, she does seem to find a way to annoy me on a daily basis. So that becomes another motivating factor for me to scidaddle, but the rejection is starting to get to me.

So, the latest interview I had, yesterday, is what really prompted to write this blog for you, my faithful reader. I had what I thought was a good interview. I met with 2 ladies, we talked about what I do and about what they do. blah blah blah The interview last like 45 minutes, not too long. When I got home that eveing, I had an email in my inbox from the recruiter leting me know that she enjoyed meeting me and that she would be in touch later this week to discuss "the next step." Then, this morning, I got an automated email stating that they wanted to pursue other candidates...humpf... :(

I've emailed the recruiter and asked for feedback, but at this point I am too discouraged to care or even go on looking for another job!! I'll follow up with the feedback...
