I woke up this morning real early to attend two on-campus interviews. The first was for a large company that uses the black hole method of recruiting. You submit your resume. You take an interview. You never hear from them again. :thumbsdown: The next interview was with a dot com that stuck around. They think their product is so amazing that a new person can only come in as a tech support guy. I didn't go to school for 7 years to answer phones. :thumbsdown:
I came home from those waste of time interviews to find an email waiting from a company I had gotten to a 3rd interview with denying me. :thumbsdown: I figured my day already sucked. What could get worse? So I went to check the mail. I got a mailed rejection notice from another company I had interviewed with. They weren't my first choice but I thought I had a decent shot with them. I guess not. :thumbsdown:
At this point I was feeling really depressed at this awful start of the day. I went to classes and things were going ok. I picked up an exam from a week ago and discussed it with the TA, getting 4 more points out of 30 added to my score. :thumbsup:
I wasn't able to really enjoy this positive experience because I was still so down from the morning. Next, I went to meet with the graduate chair of my department and discuss a situation with him that might affect me graduating this semester or not. He indicated that they had uncovered new information about my case that should probably allow me to have no problems graduating. :thumbsup: This is a big on-going worry of mine and I was pleased to hear things have turned around.
I was starting to feel better about my day and I realized I needed to chill out tonight so I talked to a girl I had met recently and set up a date. She seems eager and I think it will be fun. :thumbsup: Then I headed home from school and checked my email. I received a congratulations letter from a guy I had met at my first-choice employer. I am going to their on-site interviews. :thumbsup:
I am so emotionally exhausted from my day. Every one of these things is a big deal to my life situation right now. Sure they might not matter in 5 years or 10 years but I am totally stressed. Thanks for reading if you made it to the end. I am heading to this date in a few minutes so have a good night! :beer:
