Job Search Update: I’m Cursed

Out of the hundreds upon hundreds of job applications I’ve sent out over the last 6 or so months, I’ve had a grand total of 2 job interviews. 

The first interview seemed extremely promising, I was looking at apartments in NYC and everything, but come time for my second round interview my interviewer is extremely unprepared and doesn’t have my resume or design portfolio in front of him. We chatted for about 15 minutes about life, and then he left me with a “I will look over your portfolio and get back to you about rescheduling an interview,” only to never get back to me. Granted, I could have endlessly needled him about when we were going to reschedule for, but I take people for their word. If they say they will do something, I take that to mean something. My mistake.

My second interview was set up through some contacts of mine and happened about 20 minutes ago, as of this post. Apparently there was some miscommunication, so my interviewer didn’t even know I was coming until I showed up. The “interview” started 30 minutes late, the interviewer was obviously unprepared because they had no idea I was coming, and ended in about 5 minutes.

It truly does seem at this point that the universe does not want me to find a job at this point. Any rich, young, attractive men looking for a trophy wife? Seems more feasible than finding a job at this point...
