Job search woes (- - -)
Rejection is preferable to being ignored. I haven't gotten anything back except automated responses. For positions that I know i'd be a good match for. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong so that I get stuffed into a waiting pool. I'd rather get told I got tossed into the trash, cause then I'd at least get validation on my self-hatred.
Which I know is a shitty thing to do to myself.
Shows how much I hate job hunting.

Updating: Apparently the universe was bored with my pity party and let me get 1 single reply email asking for my availablity for a phone screen with a technical recruiter. So, I got that going for me.
Not looking forward to all the anxiety about getting rejected after the phone screen, but at least i'll have something new to bitch about.

Updating: And I've got a phone screen tomorrow. The company isn't horrible as far as I can tell, and i'm talking directly to them instead of through a contracting agency, so improvement!
Still wish I didn't feel like such a fraud sometimes, though. Been in this game for 10 years, never lost a job because of lack of technical skills, but it's always my tech abilities that give me the most anxiety, not the social part that always bites me in the ass.
