Looking for a job is so demoralizing... but it sounds like it's going well, all things considered! I feel you on the overwhelmed sucky blogger syndrome as well. Ugh. Laurels last blog post..Recent Discoveries

Good luck, I hate looking for a job. Clearly the best part is not having to look anymore. I can’t wait to hear how the 5 hour interview of death went.

I am absolutely intrigued by the Five Hour Interview of Death and I would TOTALLY go just so that I could see how the hell an interview could take five hours! I can see, though, how it would be a total waste of your time since you won't take the job anyway. What a pickle you are in! Erins last blog post..Weekend Plans

Be sure you read all you can about those Olympic swimmers and learn as much as you can. Because you never know, that FIVE HOUR INTERVIEW OF DEATH? It might include waterboarding. ::shiver::

Either that or they plan to have you sit all alone in a room full of 2–way mirrors, where scientists in lab coats on the other side of the mirrors study your every behavior and mannerism.

Oy, my mind is completely whacking out on me today. Clearly I need to go take a nap.

Sorry you’re feeling overwhelmed. That sucks. And I don’t blame you ONE BIT if you opt NOT to go through with the FIVE HOUR INTERVIEW. Because, seriously – think of how much swimming you could watch in five hours! Priorities, girl

Screw the 5 hour interview. If you don’t want the job, don’t waste your time. Don’t start thinking that you need to get desperate for a job already.
And yes, looking for a job is such a full-time job. so time consuming, and not as much fun as drooling over those damn swimmers’ bodies. sigh.
You will be okay.
If you need to take a break from posting, you know we will all still be here. We understand!!

Two words: RYAN LOCHTE!

And I have to completely disagree with Jennifer on the cover letter front. I’m guessing you’re applying for mostly communications and marketing jobs? We scrutinize cover letters, and if someone doesn’t make an effort to convince us of why they fit our job posting, briefly and clearly (more than just job #xyz, etc.), we toss the resume in the round file. Just my two cents on that piece. Maybe things are way different in other fields, but bad cover letters are my organization’s pet peeve (again, cause we’re in communications!).

I think looking at half naked swimmers is the way to go. It may not pay the bills, but it sure is entertaining. Kristies last blog post..A personal choice.

I am voting for the 5 hour interview of death in which you make up weird answers. Because that would be hilarious. Especially since you don’t want the job.

Tell them you’re leaving your job because of the vampires that lurk around in the break room. Or something bizarre.

Other than that, I wish you luck and thank God I work for NABABNA and don’t have to worry about this crap anymore.
