I'm shocked by this feedback...

you can always do the "Columbo" thing.
Go there (the agency or the prospective employer) and try this tactic;
"You know, achieving this position was something I'd really been excited about. Obviously I wasn't successful. However, I'm also interested in learning more about myself. Can you give me any specifics as to why I was unsuccessful so I won't repeat the same mistake again?"

If at the agency, they should be interested in helping you because they make $$ when you get your job.
If at the employer, this last-ditch effort tells them a whole lot about you.

It's a great technique, and one I've used to salvage a few film projects that otherwise would have gone to someone else. People want to help you, and in the process of saying "you were this, you said that" you get to listen and then respond with "Wow! I didn't mean to come across that way," or "I can't believe I was so foolish to have not included that information." And next thing you know....the door is open once again (sometimes).

You have to understand not EVERYONE in the world will appreciate confidence.

I can't tell you how many time I've been called arrogant, narcisistic, crazy, drunk, whore, bitch ...blaby blah blah.

Funny part is....I am all those things- Not all the time, but I get my moments.

Also depending on the context many people view eccentric people as crazy and dramatic...its all other people's perceptions.

As long as you know who you are, fuck em. No one else matters.

*sigh*.. Day 1 of being unemployed.. I feel slightly depressed.

Really, anyone else not all that surprised:ph34r::ph34r::ph34r: You strike me as a bit of a drama queen, constantly looking for the negatives in your life.
Or maybe you jusy like posting your negative here on Dizzy?


Don't think I'm a drama queen, but yeah.. I prefer to ask advice on here for the tougher subjects - I like the variety of perspectives I always get.. I don't tend to post about the boring stuff that happens in my life - I prefer to bore my close friends with that nonsense!!! ha ha ha! :D

You know this boogie is for real.

I used to buy my faith in worship,
But then my chance to get to Heaven sli-i-pped
I used to worry about the future
But then I threw my caution to the wind.
I had no reason to be care free
No no no, until I took a trip to the other side of town
Yeah yeah yeah, you know I heard that boogie rhythm
Hey- I had no choice but to get down down down down.

CHORUS

Dance, nothing left for me to do but dance,
All these bad times I'm going through just dance
Got canned heat in my heels tonight baby

I feel the thunder see the lightning
I know this anger's heaven sent.
So I've got to hang out all my hang-ups
Because on the boogie I feel so hell bent
It's just an instant gut reaction, that I got
I know I never ever felt like this before,
I dont know what to do
But then that's nothing new,
Stuck between hell and high water
I need a cure to make it through.

Hey- dance, yeah nothing left for me to do but dance
All these bad times I'm going through just dance,
Hey, got canned heat in my heels tonight baby
You I got canned heat in my heels

You know this boogie is for real.

Only the wind can blow the answer
And she cries to me when I'm asleep
She says you know that you can go much faster
I know that peoples' talk can be so cheap
Yeah yeah
I got this voodoo child inveined on me
I'm gonna use my power to ascend
You know I got these burning heels to use
Sometimes there's no way to lose
I was born to run
And built to last
You'll never see my feet 'cause they move so fast

Dance…yeah, hey!
Nothing left for me to do but
Dance
All these bad times I'm going through just
Dance…Hey
Got Canned Heat in my heels tonight, baby

Dance!

Hey DJ
Let the music play
I'm gonna live this party life
Hey DJ
Throw my cares away
I'm gonna live this party life
Hey DJ
Let the music play
I'm gonna live this party life
Hey DJ
Throw my cares away
I'm gonna live this party life

Canned heat in my heels tonight!

You know that this boogie if for real.
Got so much Canned Heat in my heels
Gonna dance, gonna dance my blues away tonight
Whoooooooo!
You know, you know this boogie
This boogie is for real

You know I'm gonna dance my blues away tonight

Was you interviewer a kind of shy mousy type? Or did he display any mannerisms that you would not evaluate as having a great deal of self confidence? Those types of people tend to be extra sensitive and not like "noisy" people.
