I didn't get the job that I interviewed for last week, but I had another interview with a different company today. I did better this time. I did a lot more speaking and less just listening and nodding. I didn't wait to be asked why I haven't been working for almost two years and what I've been doing with myself - I told her straight away. No one was hiring for positions paying what I was used to earning and even if I was willing to accept less they weren't eager to hire me for a position I'd leave as soon as something better became available, so I decided to go on sabbatical and travel. I took advantage of my time and the money I'd worked hard to save visiting places I'd always wanted to see. I'm not sure if I told her that I also did a semester of college...
I have to interview with at least one other person before I can be hired. We've scheduled it for Monday. I'm starting to truly believe I'm going to find something soon. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and maybe this time it's not a train.

I really hope the interview turns into a job! Nowadays it's very common to have a long break between jobs, especially if you are at a certain level and don't want to take the first job that comes along.
nice...stay at it..you will...
They're going to interview you on MLK Day? That's either a really good sign (about their interest in you) or a really bad one (about the employer).
Good job! Hang in there.
@LL Cool Joe: That doesn't seem to be the attitude here. So many people start calling you lazy...
@Brian Miller and Sage: Thanks for the encouragement. I will.
@grannybunny: Only banks and schools close for MLK day here. He doesn't get the respect he deserves.
Hope this works out. Good luck with the interview on Monday!!
