I don't find those kind of broad brush indictments of me as a human being constructive--and less so if it's hyperbolic. It's one thing if it's a limited,situational issue I can address --I have toilet paper on my shoe-- vs a general "you're always so sloppy!"

Job hunting is a very specific task which takes organization,perseverance, courage...and stamina. If it were my job to support someone, I think I'd take a calm, confident, encouraging approach, for that would have to be my mindset and what I'd want from an outsider. Job hunting, interviews, new workplaces are anxiety producing for just about anyone.

Mind you, I certainly have my share of PC bonafides, I was a deferential, petrified young woman, afraid of even calling a store over the phone, terrified of bosses, cowed by dominating co-workers. I had constantly to fight my nature to be independent and use my abilities. It's counterproductive for me to visit or dwell on my "issues." I certainly don't want anyone else throwing them in my face. I rather concentrate on the steps to accomplish my goals and keep my eye on the prize.
