More Job Stuff
I hate all the emotional ups and downs that come with being on the job market. Hate them. I like to think of myself as a fairly even-keeled person. Being on the job market throws me completely off balance. One minute I'm excited about a job ad, and the next minute I want to cry in frustration. I may need to go into therapy just to get through this search.

Exactly how it feels. Exactly.
Somehow I thought you'd understand RL.
I think is goes like this: Super excited about the job I'm applying for. Which is great because I feed that energy into my cover letter. I can see myself doing X or Y a this school. Then I submit the application and agonize. When will they call? What if they don't even give me a chance? How many others are applying? RL, stop getting excited because you might not get it...what if I don't get it.
This cycle continues with variations based on how long it takes before someone contacts me, if the contact is an interview request or a rejection letter, etc. Add in various other factors: Current job sucking, the # of postings I'm not able to apply for, it's not wonder we're not all in therapy.
