I had a job interview today and I felt very nervous… Was even shaking at some point… They talked to me for 2 hours but I feel sure I failed… It is so hard to read people when you are schizo… Anyone else have these experiences?
I’ve been looking for another job lately and have been interviewing quite a bit. I try not to think about how it went. I’ve learned that Im so often paranoid and self critical that I will think the interview went horribly but then they call me back the next day for round 2. And sometimes I think it went great and I never hear back. So I just don’t trust my own intuition any more and just wait to see what happens. Idk if that helps but it works fairly well for me.
It just kills me I can’t stop replaying it in my head
Typically when an interview goes for a long time like that it is a good sign. They wouldn’t have kept talking to you for two hours if they weren’t interested.
If they interviewed you for two hours they have to be interested in you. They wouldn’t spend that kind of time on you if they weren’t. That’s my two cents.
They told me “fake it till you make it.”
What the hell two hours, did they pay you?
My voices have really picked up tonight while thinking about it
I think two hours is the longest interview I’ve heard of in my limited experience. I guess I am thinking of all my own unskilled jobs I’ve had where the interviews usually last about 40-45 minutes. I’m not putting myself down, I got much satisfaction from doing physical jobs in the past.
