I had a phone interview today. Not just a phone interview, but two separate interviews with the same company, something that I've never experienced before. That could be considered a somewhat good sign but this isn't normal times and it probably means absolutely nothing.
For those of you wondering what it's like being unemployed, I keep on thinking of the Fall of Saigon. It's like we're living in this world of utter chaos that's falling quickly falling apart in the seams and there's only one way out-- an airlift as it were-- and we're all banging and screaming to get into the embassy to be let in and escape. Get on the airlift and you're saved, miss out on an airlift and it's eating top ramen for lunch and dinner and blogging in candlelight. Having an actual interview is being told by somebody that they might be able to get you onto one and getting a second interview is like being actually let throw the howling masses into the embassy. But, in order to make it through, I still have to my papers in order, be given a number to see if my number is called, hope that there's enough helicopters to take you out that day and if there is enough, that it either doesn't get shot down trying to land or trying to leave. Except getting a job in today's environment is harder than that.
