had a job interview. 2 large group exercises to assess team dynamics, then I interviewed for 2 different roles. Everyone there was nice, but:

  1. can’t stop feeling bad for the one interview that i definitely floundered. The first one seemed to go well but given how much i tripped over my words for the second one, it makes me think the first one went badly? Also got the sense

  2. I can’t trust people being nice to me. It makes it feel like a big prank is being played on me and my entire reality is simulated / organised for some reason.

its kind of tough to be in one hall surrounded by other candidates competing for the same positions as you. Man… But maybe that’s better and I just have no stamina for job interviews.

I need to apply for ~500 more jobs this summer, just in case, but it leaves me really drained.

    That is more than just “meeting people” so give some credit where it is due. Just getting an interview these days is a win. Those are emotionally draining wins. And congrats for taking them on in this current economy.

    And I do recognize when I hear impostor syndrome. It is a good thing to keep in mind for some more emotional room to take up and not feel badly about doing it.

    And remember this is your chance to INTERVIEW THEM. Ask them the tough questions about workplace shite. Ask them when the last time a worker’s suggestion for change was taken and implemented.

    You must interview them.
