Turned down for a job again
Been for a redeployment interview at my place of work - did not get this, because the head of department who was interviewing me told me that my answers were too management/strategic and they were looking more for the "process" side of things in my answers (though I did very well on the in-tray tasks). Basically, I was answering it as if I was him. He gave me a lot of information about other roles he thought I should be going for at a higher level, however.

How do you feel about the situation altogether?

I may be wrong and your thoughts are completely different, when you don't post on the forum, but in your last posts I saw no faith. Faith is the believe in the unseen. Believing in something you can see has nothing to do with faith. Stop taking your cues from your circumstances, else they can never change.

Re: Turned down for a job again
I was hesitate to post similar feelings. From what I've seen, you definitely think some of the techniques etc are ridiculous

It is true that I don't like what I call game playing - by that I mean setting a table for two, clearing half the wardrobe, that sort of thing. I wouldn't be able to do that as I don't believe in it - for me. This is all to do with romantic relationships and this isn't my issue anyway.
What do I think about the situation altogether? Well, I am wondering why I am unable to secure a lower level job on less money! Being turned down because you are too high level is a new one on me. I'm wondering how to process that one!
My post today is an observation, really. Not a gripe or a moan or poor me, I don't see anything changing, focusing on what is, etc etc.
I would say that time is running out but that would imply I had no faith! But of course, I am a mere mortal - with a mortgage to pay - would anyone in my position totally 100% not worry? Be honest?
I am also very matter of fact, pragmatic and like simple, straightforward stuff.

Being honest, $$$ desires have been the last area that I've truly tried to attack. I carry worry about acting as if and knowing that the money will replace itself. It can take time to not worry about how to put gas into your car etc.

Re: Turned down for a job again
I'm kind of in the same boat - wanting a new, higher paying job. I dislike where I'm at right now. I've applied to MANY places and rarely hear back, or get turned down by the places I do. I am trying to stay optimistic in a place where I'm miserable.
But you know what's helped? Reading success stories on the Secret's website. Also, I've posted a positive affirmation on my wall that reminds me to be happy. Getting into the feeling of having that perfect job is tough, but unless you help yourself, its not going to come.

But observation creates reality. Reality is nothing more than a mirror. You look at it, see that you have half of your breakfast hanging in your face and then you clean your face, not the mirror. So take the information about what you would like to be different from the situation and then go into the feeling of working in your perfect job. Don't give the old version/reality any attention by thinking or talking about it.

My situation is slightly different in that in three weeks I won't have a job at all. It's not a case of being dissatisfied where I am, I need to have a job to pay the bills.

And again you reinforce the old story. I can understand the need to talk about it, but you have to understand that what you are thinking and talking about is highly creative. Do you really want to think "in three weeks I won't have a job", if that is what you create for yourself?
