Thank you all so much for the good vibes and encouragement! Yesterdays interview went great and I have 2 more tomorrow!
***I would also like to add since some people brought it up...no, im not an alcoholic nor have a drinking problem. I drink maybe 3-4 times a YEAR ????

I hate interviews, so I don't envy you. I would probably drink, too. I'm hoping you are way better at interviewing than I am. You must have a great resume if you already have three interviews! I wish you the best of luck!

Losing a job is tough! I hope your next problem is deciding which job to accept!

You know they monitor social media. 🙂,

Thats why i don't use my real name 😉

We may not know each other yet but I wish you all the luck! Every interview you get better and better at it, until they have to hire you no matter what! =)

Plenty of jobs out there just try and be patient you'll find something soon.

I used to show up for work so loaded they made me take the freight elevator.
When the last company tried to fire me, I sent a letter explaining that I wasn't looking for work termination at this point, but would be happy to consider them for a later date.

Oh and our thoughts and prayers are with you!

Did you watch Person of Interest? That is my total knowledge of AI. Unless you mean Allen Iverson. Killer crossover.

Watched altered carbon. But a lot of shows hsve addressed uploading humsn consciousness into AI. Im fascinated

I always try to think of the question I DON'T want them to ask. And what my answer is to that question.

If they ask you what makes you more qualified than the other applicants, don't answer with, "I don't know. I don't know the other applicants." That answer did not go over well for me. That was a long time ago though, maybe employers have learned that it is a stupid question. Good luck. I know the whole job search thing can be tough.

Good luck.

Dress smart, shake hands firmly and believe in yourself.

When the job concerns are dealt with I'd love to hear your thoughts on AI and Religion. That's an interesting pairing that I've not encountered before. Best wishes!

"If" you are an alcoholic (your post does not make that clear), get off it and stay off it.

I drink maybe 3 times a year.

Wow the shit out of them at your interviews! (And, I work for a major adult beverage corporation so, thanks for consuming tonight and assisting with my job security. 😉 )

Good Luck with the interviews !!

Good luck, rebel. I was once like you and always said "I was looking for a job before I found this one" After a time you do realize that a good job is harder to find with age, and therefore also worth keeping. In other words, sometimes we do have to put up with the normal amount of crap.

Your first two words in your first sentence reminds me of INXS's song Golden Playpen
