I'm starting to wonder if employers have any idea what they even want from their candidates. Even the interview I got through internal recommendation was delayed twice before someone called to tell me that the position is no longer open. And at the one place where my interviews went really well, people told me I'm overqualified. So I'm somehow overqualified for an entry position, but lack the experience to get anything above entry position. Pointing that out wasn't persuading anyone. Maybe I should chug some cough medications before my next interview? You know, to get a good amount of handicap. I'm literally back to where I was seven years ago (and ever since): teaching maths and science to highschoolers threatened with repeating a grade. It's so fucking disheartening, and motivation is pretty much the only thing I have.
