| Sorry. Well the good news is they did still interview me! It's a really long process though, now they want a working interview. And I hopefully didn't screw the one today up. It sucks that you can never actually tell if it went badly because the interviewers won't tell you or show it. But I'm stayin... |

| So now the company, that seemed excited to do a second interview with me but hasn't taken any of my calls to confirm it, is posting craigslist ads. Maybe they need more than one person, but it makes me feel like they are looking for someone else because they are not going to hire me. I am paranoid t... |

| I was tentatively scheduled for a second interview with an organization that really seemed to like me, for a job that would be really great. I was supposed to call them and confirm, but in many calls (probably 20+) over the course of a week, I never managed to get hold of anybody. So since I've clea... |

| Tried calling them again today, still no answer. It's like they just suddenly vanished. Is it crazy to wonder if they recognize my number and are actively ignoring me?? Should I just go there on Wednesday as if there's a confirmed interview even if nobody ever confirms it? |

| I am trying desperately hard to return to my old field after having been fired from a job that I loved and held for 3 years with no problems, until they got a new director. I got right off on the wrong foot with her because I was having a very hard time in my life and immediately self-disclosed my a... |

| I suddenly got paranoid about whether these could actually exist, not just within a company but that a company could put a name on a list that could be accessed by the other companies in the same field and keep a person from getting hired by ANYONE in that field. So I googled it, and there was some ... |
