ITT: I suck at job hunting, do you?
A Wet Helmet:
I had an absolutely brutal three hour long series of interviews this morning that was just four people in sequence each with the questions.
The "Thanks but no thanks" email was in my inbox before I even got home. I knew that I didn't impress the first interviewer much, and probably not the third, so I'm not terribly surprised, but I was pretty sure I knocked it out of the park with interviewers 2 and 4. The haste of the rejection really kind of sucks.
In other news though, I went and had lunch, went three buildings down, and had another interview this afternoon. I'll know on that one in two weeks. I also have two more lined up, so all hope is not lost.
MrBlu:
An employee LEFT.
It's a RETAIL STORE.
My mother KNOWS the OWNER.
WHYYYY haven't they called me back yet?!?
KharBevNor:
I got the worst job ever, one you don't get paid for.
It's a placement at the company that runs the course for the long-term unemployed I was/am on. They turned around and told me they needed an admin clerk. I think I was chosen because I have three A-levels and am not a lazy 19 year old m-cat snorting moron with two kids (actually most of the guys on the course are good people, some from genuine circumstances. I say guys because there's almost no women at all.)
It's a bit weird though. I still have to do the course one day a week, but most of the time I am doing filing and paperwork, and I'm allowed to use the staff-only toilets and kitchen. I feel a little bit like a concentration camp kapo. Still, back to uni in September.

It's extremely important to keep your spirits up. Cook yourself a meal, spend time with your other half, etc, but never give in to disappointment.
Have you had any interviews? If yes, then you've achieved something? If not, then are there any courses you can go on to make yourself more appealing to employers?
Coward:
I need a new job.
Who would be willing to keep me on a semi-decent wage for next to zero marketable skills?
