They're Just Not That Into You

And by them, I mean recruiters and hiring managers. I read an article a while back comparing job hunting to dating and thought it was not only funny but very true. It talked about how you have a great interview and totally hit it off and wait for a call that never comes. I've never been good at dating so I guess it makes sense that I'm having trouble with this job hunt. I applied for a job at Warner Bros and to my pleasant surprise, got a call back. The next month consisted of the recruiter telling me to call him on this day or that day. Every time I called, I got his voice mail. I even resorted to calling him from my sister's phone to throw him off, because I knew he had caller ID. How pathetic, right? I felt like I was stalking him and calling him incessantly. The same things go through your mind when you're dating...is he avoiding me? should I call? Will I look too eager, desperate even? If he (the company) was really interested in me, they would call. Sigh...I guess all that I can do is keep trying and not get discouraged on both the job and man hunt! Haha
