interview
I have a third interview for the same job again tomorrow. I am cracking under pressure, for christ's sake how many times can one be interviewed for a lousy admin. position??? I think they are just going to keep interviewing me until I cry. It's the carrot on a stick, always yanked out of reach as soon as I think I am going to get it.... I am dreading this. I have run out of things to say in an interview. All these interviews are emotionally draining, after each one I hope I am going to get out of this s*** hole neighborhood and get my life back again... endless job searching, the sadness, the loneliness... while scraping by on a part time minimum wage gig. I have pretty much no confidence left, I don't know how I'm going to pull this one off... I want to crawl across that desk tomorrow, grab the guy by his tie and scream,"If I have to eat ramen another day in this god forsaken life I am going to explode... GIVE ME THIS JOB!!!"

Wow. Sorry you're so stressed.
Look at it this way, if they didn't already like you, you wouldn't have made it this far.
And remember that people want to hire people who seem to have their s*** together so project confidence (even if you're not), keep your composure, and keep telling yourself that you can do the job and do it well.
Good luck!

If you cry at the interview it is obviously "game over". You won't get the job.
Open up the interview like this "This is the third interview so there is obviously some interest on your part. What are your reservations about me?". Then proceed to talk - and overcome - those reservations. This is you "taking charge" of the interview (and your life). I'll bet no one else does this, and it'll show them what you can bring to the job. I'll also bet you get the job.

I am a pile of nerves. I think it may be another sleepless night. I actually interviewed with two people today for a total of 90 minutes. I am mentally and emotionally drained and extremely irritable tonight. I don't know what to do to calm my nerves. Plus someone is calling my workplace and asking about me, and when I work etc. This is someone with schizo affective disorder and a crack addiction who I changed my number to avoid. I NEVER told him where I work. I'm thinking restraining order.

I think everyone would be nervous sleepie. It's normal to be nervous.
Just try and roll with it as much as you can.
and yes - if someone's annoying you, get the authorities on to it....
