Guys, I interviewed for my dream job (well not like crazy out there dream job, but an AMAZING job that I would enjoy, would be a huge step up the career ladder, would send me abroad to fun places on work trips, etc).

I thought it went really well but they haven't called me back and it's already been like a day omg.. I'm writing my thank-you e-mails now but they seem so cheesy and I'm too nervous to hit send.

How are you all doing with the job hunt? Or new jobs, old jobs, whatever.

Well, my part time job that may hopefully turn into full time is going really well I think.

Best of luck, that's awesome!

It's exhausting and pointless. Interviews keep going well, and then I don't get jobs. Is what it is.

I'm in the same boat right now. You have my sympathies. Hope something comes along for you soon.

I'm ayrt and I hear you. I've been in a job that makes me miserable for almost two years and have been applying for other jobs most of that time. Mostly, jobs I'm totally qualified for and would be fantastic at, but I hardly hear back - and then I get ghosted after the rare interview. Eventually, something's gotta give, right? Fingers crossed for both of us.

Same.

I feel this so hard, OP. This is why job hunting feels so draining and demeaning. You interview well and can't even get so much as a form e-mail back from the company telling you they've filled the position. I WISH they'd do that and put me out of my misery so I can move on.

Good luck to you, anon.

Send it right now!

I've been looking for a year and a half but because I don't live in a major city, no one wants to help me move.

I just got an email today from a person (because when I get rejected I go through the support line or find the personal email and ask why), who said "I like your resume but you don't live up here and you need a bit more experience."

A) Then you don't like my resume.
B) YOU ARE AN INTERNATIONAL COMPANY - YOU DON'T INVEST IN PEOPLE? YOU DON'T RELOCATE PEOPLE? WHAT?

I am so sick of this shit. If I didn't have to wait for episode nine I absolutely would have committed suicide by now.

ayrt I've ALMOST built up enough courage to send the e-mails, but it's a communications role so I am majorly fucked if I make a typo or something. Very high pressure!

That really sucks, too. Companies should be willing to invest in good candidates. It's hard when so many positions are just so competitive, though. I am from a small town in the middle of nowhere and I actually got my current job before I moved. I just indicated that I intended to move. Of course, they didn't pay any relocation expenses, alas.

Do you want to live in a specific city, or just get a job with a major company (that necessitates you living in some big city)? If it's somewhere specific, maybe you can find a lower-tier job and move first and keep job hunting after you move? Though that would only work if you can afford to move without a company relocating you.

It takes longer than a day to get back.

I know, I'm just antsy!

I'm waiting patiently for a finance position at Nintendo to open. One day, one day...

I don't know how often they open those positions, but good luck! Not many people who dream about working for a video game company realize that they'll have much more luck if they get a marketable skill like finance/accounting, instead of being a dime-a-dozen programmer... who will be paid a dime a dozen.

Dude send them. Even if they're cheesy they still show you appreciate the time they took to talk to you and that goes a lot farther than you'd think.

I've only just restarted a serious job search. Right now I'm working two unpaid internships, one is actually in the field I'm interested in, the other is somewhat adjacent to it.

I could actually use some advice. Right now, I'm looking to quit one of my unpaid internships. It's not in a field that I'm interested in, it sucks up a bit of my time and again, it's unpaid. It's especially frustrating because when I started my boss told me they'd bump me up to a paid position if my performance was good. However, I've only receive a single stipend in the past few months. How do I approach the issue of getting paid more regularly/frequently for my work? And how do I gracefully quit if it turns out my boss can't afford to pay me?

I think it's a fair concern. What kind is internship is it? just a semester, or indefinite? If it's only a few months aligning with a school term, I'd recommend just finishing the internship off. Might as well collect the reference and the experience for your resume. If it's longer, money is a factor consideration. If you aren't afraid to lose the job, go ahead and have an earnest conversation with your boss about how you're having trouble managing your various obligations with the need for making money. Nothing wrong with being honest that you don't think you can continue unless there are compensation options, if you aren't worried about potentially losing the internship.
