Was like that yesterday. The only thing that kept me on the floating line was telling myself that in x hours it'll all be over.Merkwerkee wrote:I have a second interview with a place today, and I am somewhere between terrified and exhausted -_-
Someone really needs to come up with a way that would make interviews less stressing, even if most of the time it ends up being just a simple conversation with another tired and stressed person.
Good luck.

Re: How Was Your Day Thread V5
Not needing a job to live, eat, get medical care, and have a roof over your head would be a decent place to start imo. Not having to worry about that would make getting rejected from places much, much less stressful.Real wrote:Was like that yesterday.

Currently it's "Oh, these people preferred a candidate with more experience than me. Guess I'll die" which is. Yeah.

If it makes you feel better, I'm getting tons of those rejections too, and I ostensibly worked for a real(TM) company with name recognition. For all that places are hiring, they all seem to want people with 5+ years of experience.

Re: How Was Your Day Thread V5
Talking about job, I got accepted to the company I've been doing an academy class for.
I'm super stoked, but..they pay considerably less than my current job. Almost $8 less.
It's an AMAZING opportunity work wise - I'll be able to work on massive films that will get me more to put on my demo reel. But that hit to my pay for 6 months is going to suck. I also have to move all the way to Canada (from Florida). On the bright side, they offer a hefty bonus as a join-up gift, and they pay for my first two weeks of housing AND for me to get my work permit.
They want my answer by Monday. Which sucks, because I'm still waiting on a decision from a company in Czech Republic that would also be a great opportunity.
