I'm contorted, constricted into a ball. My brain hurts. I have very little outward energy it's all compressed. Attempts to smile come out as a grimace. Confidence is low.And yet I need a job. How to interview in this condition? How do I convince an employer (and myself) that I'm capable of doing anything besides flipping burgers? Although this is always an option- but I think I would feel even worse doing this kind of work.
I wish I could act like someone who had his s*** together! Anybody know of any techniques of appearing competent and confident in the midst of darkness and hurt?
I must say that I appreciate this board very much- reading people's posts really help me feel less crazy.
