this is great advice but im not feeling the constructive criticism even though it helps you out... im the type where i practice on my interview on my own but not with someone in person like my friend... i know its better that way but i cant take the awkwardness and critcism that comes with it .... and once i go on interviews nobody is harder on judging me than myself so while im on my interview and i mess up and i know exactly what i did wrong and will work on it on the next interview
Stressing about this job I interviewed for bros.
I graduate in May but I started working this public consulting job full-time a few months ago. Salary is ok.
Last Thursday, I interviewed for another job that PAID much better (60K~) I emailed the senior recruiter in HR that set up my interview and asked if there was any update regarding my interview. She responded:
"Hello USA,
Thank you very much for interviewing for the XXXX position. I know the managers were very impressed with you and your experience and hoping for a decision on Friday or Monday.
Please advise of any questions and appreciate you and your interest in XXXXX."
I'm anxious as hell. This job would really help my career. Not sure if I got it even though I nailed the interview.
I'd call way before that.My rule of thumb is if i dont hear anything in 2 weeks, i write the company off. No time to wait and wait for them to tell they didn't go with me.

Being an EMT, I can relate to your sister's situation. My advice would be to talk about her work with a close friend or co-worker at her job. That helps me let go of my venom and energy because I hate bringing back emotions from a rough day.
I'll try to make this as short as possible...
Need some input for my sister, she's a social worker and does a lot with hospice patients. The reason she decided to take this job and leave her previous one was that it offered about 10k more and she felt she could have a positive impact with personal/emotional ties since our grandmother was on hospice. Every time I speak with her she's emotionally drained, she takes home tons of work, co workers and boss offer little support (she was recently thrown under the bus for something), and has less time to enjoy for herself. She recently got engaged and wants to keep the job in order to save for the wedding, but I can tell the job is wearing on her and I hate to see her not enjoy her job like she previously did. My question is, what was the breaking point for anyone who was in a similar situation? I've been in the hunt for an engineering job for a while and the only advice I can give her is to be thankful for a job while striving to eventually be where you want to be. I feel like she is under tremendous stress and I would appreciate any relevant input that I can maybe pass on to her. TIA
I definitely appreciate the input. Thanks for reinforcing the Happiness > Money train of thought. Heck, I've been searching for a job now and have been finding little things each day to be happy and thankful for.I would tell her that being happy is more important than making money. Unless some major deposits were made, I would push back the wedding and just look for another place to work if I couldn't stick it out at the job. Money is cool to have but it's not more important than your health
I had a ****** job before and I knew it had to end when my manager got so under my skin that I started grinding my teeth. I would wake up with my jaw hurting because I would clench my teeth in my sleep and during the day at work. I swapped managers and it got a lot better but I was ready to quit since I was going to get my masters later that year
