Interviews

My first 'evening muse', as I have had friends over all day and had no time to get out a blog post. I had a job interview today and got rejected for a job I was interviewed for last week. And I started thinking; interviews are a stressful thing to go through. You sit in front of several strangers and let them spend an hour judging you. But it must be really difficutlt from their end. They need to be certain that they pick the right person for the job, and have to decide between you and the other people they interview. I guess if I were to put myself in their shoes, I'd be inclined to hire someone with previous experience in a role, rather than taking a chance with someone you would have to teach. It sucks for people like me who need someone to give them a chance, but I guess it makes it easier to handle rejection if you think about it from their point of view.
