Have you ever doubt your accomplishments as much as when you are applying for a new job? A humbling experience, applying for a job, it is hard to remember that these job descriptions are broad, umbrella descriptions.
No one has a mark for every form filling box on the application, but you feel like you should and you hate yourself a little for not being able to.
Perhaps it is because deep down we desperately want the job and are suddenly faced with the realization that we are lacking as an applicant.
Special training classes? Nope
Special licences? Nope, well Food Handling Permit? Still nope it's expired by two months.
What makes you remarkable? Nothing that reflects positively to an employer who only has 5 minutes per applicant. Apply and move on because you do not qualify.
How does a simple question have the ability to make us feel so belittled and as a failure? Is it because our self esteem is already low and then the blankness is a mirror of everything we did not do. I apply for the job already assuming I did not get it and then I am not disappointed when it happens.
Failure cannot surprise me and I already feel I have.
