Do you always win some?

I totally didn't get that job i was talking about. Turns out they really wanted someone who was good at photoshop and knew how to write html. I've never had to do or use any of those things in my time as a writer and as arrogant as it sounds, i want to write and not tweak around on photoshop or write html so i guess in the end, it doesn't really matter. But i have to say at the beginning, i was so devo that i didn't get it. I even cried to my mum because looking for work requires so much work for basically nothing in return. But it's OK because i have an interview this Friday at this advertising agency as a writer for their company. It's actually an internship role but they say that if you impress them they have a paid position at the end of the internship. I've always thought this thing and it was totally proved right when i got the call ( half an hour later ) after i submitted my application.
If a workplace likes your resume, they'll contact you in the space of an hour or two.

This is just like when i submitted my application for HP to be their proposals writer. They called the very next day even though their deadline wasn't for another 4 weeks. Now, whenever i submit something and they don't contact me almost immediately, i just think " OK i didn't get it ".
The thing about the workforce is, it's like the property market. No matter how great one job or apartment is, there's always better ones out there that you just can't even imagine right now. This helps me because i always get so dead set on one job and then lose sight of the fact that this isn't IT. There are always better things out there. I hope i'll nail this interview on Friday. To tell you the truth, i'm not even nervous. I feel like i'm so long overdue for a real career job that i'll just walk in and be like seriously, not even nervous this is what i need in my life. I want to really do things you know? I'm still on the look out for a proper job. Last week, i was feeling really angry and tired but i feel all rejuvenated and positive again which is great because i hate feeling negative and having that impact on my health and mentality. Anyway, i'll keep you posted on my job hunt. It's one of the toughest things ever. All you people with real jobs should feel super lucky!
