Just bad news now.
Bad news: I am still unemployed.
I was passed over for someone younger "not set in his ways".
The behavioral cinched my neck for me.
Sympathy is unwelcome, I don't need it nor want it.
What I need is 10 years off my age and less experience.

A next interview is scheduled.
Thursday, March 29, 2007 1500 (-0400)
They skipped me right past the first "HR" interview, the second technical interview and have gone straight to the third behavioral interview which is done by the hiring manager and a select team.
I am... for the first time *EVER*, nervous about an interview. Sure I have been tense and twitchy, but this... nervousness, never. But thankfully no pit in my stomach like I had previous to the other ones.

Behavioral Interviewing is all the rage
They'll look at your past responses and behaviors to specific events to predict future performance. You'll hear a lot of questions like "Tell us about a situation where you..."
And to take the edge off the nervousness, remember that you're interviewing them as well to see if the job is a good fit for you.
Put on your fancy clothes, take a deep breath and show em what you got. :-)

Give yourself plenty of time
Rushing and lateness is bad for nervousness. Allow plenty of travel time and you can relax and think the entire way.
Matthew Greet
Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?

Normal is relative...
Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed

Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary

fwiw, I'd be in the same situation if I ever lose this position, only my skills would now be considered obsolete.
