I was recently unemployed and this hits home. The morons who rejected me had no fathom of an inkling of a tenth of what I’m capable of.

At my last interview, the much younger fellow interviewing me asked me to tell him about myself. I was doing to devote a single sentence to what I did before going to university, as a backdrop for what my motivations have been; this kid cut me off in the first sentence of my interview and told me he wasn't interested in any of that.

It really taught me how much power we can have when we control timing. I was off for the rest of the interview. Even at a good interview, how can someone get to really know you in such a short period of time?

I’m sorry that happened to you. This world is stupid.
