interview

went to a job interview today.

the job's in the field of student affairs, something which i am truly familiar and would in fact consider it to be my area of expertise, with all my insider experience as a legislative and executive senator in the university student government and as representative in various committee at the university level, not to mention my years at the student organization level as president and chairman and on and on.

it was a mere clerking job, not much of a glamor there, not much pay either, and not that i didn't have the experience being an assistant administrator anyway, but it was its world of student affairs that i was really after, that i wanted so much to be a contributing participant of, albeit only as a clerk.

during the interview, the word 'overqualified' was thrown around, and my heart jumped. i instinctively knew i already lost any chances.

every single time when i apply for a job i really want and that cursed word overqualified comes out and hangs on the air, it's high probability that i will not get the job. happens every friggin' time.

god damn it!!

the last question thrown at me was: "so why aren't you married..."

i was obviously thrown back by the question. in my swirling mind, i was mighty tempted to blurt out, "yeah, this is why i'm applying for this job - so that i get to meet with bodacious chicks.. what's up with you people?"

but i held my tongue, and said with a quiet smirk, "i don't have anybody."

not a good day today...
