It looks like the job I interviewed for on Monday is gonna be another no. At the interview the lady said I should get an email yesterday and if I don't to call today, I didn't get the email, so I called. It ended up taking two tries and didn't seem to go well, the first time I called they said the lady in charge was doing another interview, which I already took as a bad sign, and then when I called back I did get the lady in charge this time and told why I was calling, she just said she was looking over applications and would send me the second part of it, and then hung up. I have no idea what the "second part of it" is, and she hung before I even told her what my name or email was, so I don't know if she even knows who I am. That was at 10:30ish this morning, and I haven't gotten any more emails anything from the store.
After weeks of trying and having to much anxiety, I finally managed to fight through it and asked a couple of ladies out horseback riding at one of the places where I visit with horses if it was OK if pet some of the other horses over in stalls by a wall, but they said no. I realized later that when I asked if I could pet them she might have thought I wanted them to let me onto the property, when all I actually meant was that I just wanted to pet them over the wall. But since she said no, I won't go over there anymore.
Kudos to you for trying!
Did you give your name?
Never take interviews as a bad sign. Businesses often have policies for how many interviews they must do, especially if they are internal.
I would attempt another call and introduce yourself, the position you applied for, and express your interest to see if it is still open.
I don't trust any other timeline.
I forgot to give my name when she answered and then she hung up before I got a chance to say anything else.
And honestly, if she's like that before I even get hired, I don't think she's the kind of person I'm going to want to work for. People who get at all angry or rude really set my anxiety into overdrive and were the main reason I had to quit my both jobs I had before.
I wouldn't blame you, but I also know that not everyone who appears angry and rude on the phone is that way. I've been yelled out via phone at multiple jobs and requested to meet in person and that became a better way to handle it.
If it is a job you are truly interested in I would encourage you to go in person and express that interest, your name, and the positions you're interested in.
It's not really a job I want that bad, and with the low pay and hours, the way she was on the phone, and the fact that the company, which I'm just going to name at this point, Big Lots, is on the verge of bankruptcy I'm thinking moving on is going to be my best option. My mom also said she read that they're closing 100+ stores, and I don't think I've ever seen any other people shopping in there when we've gone there, so I have a feeling the store might not even be open much longer.
Yeah, I might start being a little more persistent, it's just a matter of actually forcing myself to actually call or go in, doing that kind of thing makes me really, really uncomfortable and nervous.
I'm really wish I could just have a job without having to go through the whole process.

In my years of hiring and being hired I have crossed that line exactly once, and that was for an internship. I still got the job.
The truth of the matter is is that employers are not having great experience with hiring staff. People no show at a higher rate, or just abandon their job. Persistence is one trait I absolutely want, either as a retail manager (former one now) or currently hiring.
These last 2 weeks have not been good for my mental state. Thank Goddess for cats.
I'm sorry
I’ve been doing pretty well this week, but tonight, I’m all sorts of twitchy. The good news is that since my dad isn’t here, I can do late-night cleaning!
Haven't slept well this past week, possibly with the heat. Hoping tonight is better.
any foods that would bust up brain fog and clear up thoughts? Everything feels foggy in my mind and I can't think clear enough for basic thoughts like what I need to write down on shopping list. I'm so frustrated that I want take it out on the mental health providers I see as if they're to blame since they're ones who convinced me to take benzos without telling me they're addicted.
High protein is my go to: eggs, nuts, or yogurt especially first thing in the morning.
