I feel terrible

I’ve just had a job interview that went so very, very badly.  It was for an SLT post within my current Trust and the interview was with my line manager.  However, as I (think I) want to leave SLT, I really shouldn’t have bothered. 

I feel completely numb and embarrassed now.  The questions weren’t even that hard, but I just went blank. 

What if they think that I am incapable of doing my current job, too?  Oh fucking hell. 

And now I’ve got to see kids for initial assessments this afternoon.  And I’ve got a million reports to write. 

I just want to live off the land and never have to work again.

    and I am pleased to see from subsequent messages that you seem
    to have recovered. Many commiserations and cyber-hugs.

    I feel like you’re talking about me.
    That’s exactly how I felt after most of my job interviews lately :’-(

    Too much emotions maybe? Too nervous? The kind of things that prevents you from keeping your head cool and your ideas clear…
    See it as a good practice., though. And learn from your mistakes ;)

    Next time, (much) better !
    Good luck.

    Pierre: Thanks again for your cyber hugs and for your e-mail - they made me feel a lot better.
    Brennig: you’re right. And did you know that ‘bless’ is Icelandic for ‘bye’?
    Tippie: Not sure what happened - probably a mixture of tiredness and stress… thanks for your good wishes.
