Tech associate 2 position for the bank again. Way lower pay, but meh. Could offer some viable chances for promotions in the future.

I'm not done with them yet. 'bout another week.

We used to call knee pads, "pay raise applicators". We had a set painted gold hanging up in one corner of the control room with with a sign saying "Pay Raise Applicators. May have sticky face after use".

There is an upside. Each interview you go on, you get better at perfecting your answers. Then when the right opportunity comes along you will present very well and get the job.

I used to go on interviews just for kicks. Not wanting a job, but just to sit there and get grilled in an interview. I mean where else can you get real training and experience in the art of interviewing without having to pay for a class.

Every interview makes you a better candidate...

I have changed jobs about 8 times in 32 years. In my earlier career days, it was mostly after I would complete another degree and could make more money. I feel that I am pretty good at interviewing and can generally offer up whatever needs to be said to close the deal.

Hang in there, it will happen..

My interview skills were already decent. Could hold a conversation well and enunciate myself with clarity. I've only gotten better since then.

Good example was one of my first interviews was asked if i'd like to go back to college. I answered honestly that I wasn't planning on it, but prefer hands of experience to learn instead. (Wrong answer). I have since started stating that while I would prefer to go back to college, I need to further pay off student loans first.
