((((((((((Seesaw))))))))) Seems you made the right decision about keeping your doggie. I would have passed on that job, too.

Good news is they're moving you forward in the one job --- hold onto the positives!! =) Though I can fully relate to your sentiments - I feel like interviewing is my full-time job too. DO be sure to take much needed breaks!!! You deserve it, even if it's for a few hours each afternoon. ((((More hugs)))) hang in there!!

@Scarlet -- thank you! (((((((Hugs)))))))) They have served as good practice -- I figured out something today that I did wrong in my last interview, so I'm learning....

and I can relate to your worries about interviewing from a different angle. MY PTSD sometimes gets triggered during interviews and I end up physically shaking. It's awful. I try deep breathing to relax and pause slightly before responding so that I can sound relaxed. That helps. It also helps me if I am just speaking to one person only.. I don't know about you, but that makes it easier on me to be more conversational. (((((more hugs)))))) you hang in there, too!!
