Never rush in getting a job.
Don't feel compelled to get a job asap, think first before landing into the job.
If the interviewer/your future employer looks down on you or say things that are meant to down grade you and questioned your qualification,
never take up the job.
I have friends who are pressured to get a job and despite the harsh things that the interviewer said to him, took up the job. Besides him,
there are a group of others who took up the job with him.
Now they are all under a contract that is unfair to them and are constantly threaten if they are said to have under-performed.
Being stuck in a place you don't enjoy especially having harsh and unkind words said to you is surely not the job you want to land up with.
The interviewer made them believe that they are very lucky ones be choosen and how many others out there who are jobless.
How many of those out there would hoped for this job. How thankful they
should be because the company is willing to take them.
I have a similar experience. The interviewer on one hand told me how qualified and good I am while on the other questioned the marketability of my degree, saying that there isnt much future for me in any field. He told me how difficult it was to find a job and especially for someone with a degree in physics like myself. How futureless I would be out there.
That was my first interview after I graduated. Imagine, anyone who just got of school, desperate out for a job, uncertain about their career path.
Then someone so manipulative came in, talk all these things into their head. You can just easily walked out of the place, thinking about how useless you are in your current state.
And the pay that comes with the job was so little. Thank God I did not take it up. As I was going back, I felt so terrible but I cannot accept that my life is so restricted, that I am helpless in where I am.
Two weeks later I got a job that pays 75% more. All my interviews, I got the job and they all paid equally well. And six months later, I got another job that pays me double!
If I were to listen to that person, I would definately be helpless
and in misery.
So...
NEVER rush.
NEVER let others make you feel helpless and useless.
NEVER give up
Keep on trying
Dont restrict yourself
And BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!
Good luck & stay confident
thanks for putting out such good words. I always feel that others are landing into job positions while im nowhere to begin with, im graduating this coming august with a degree in management but i always feel like im useless as every time i applied for something i tend to be left out of the group that the employer responded to. Sometimes i get shorlisted, but in the end the whole thing just fades away...like the intern that i applied for at motorola, first i was there with 5 other people in the shorlisted group, but then they just abandon the application status and people started withdrawing, till the dateline there was no answer, no clarification whatsoever. Don't feel compelled to get a job asap, think first before landing into the job.

Sometimes i get offer from people who blame that freshies are worthless coz what they need are experienced graduates and begin to belittle people so much that i begin to believe that the world is so harsh and cruel.
I'll not rush, I'll keep on trying and I'm gonna downplay people who look down on me and makes me feel useless.
thanks
