Getting tired of the passive-aggressive feeling I am getting from my sister.
My sister lost her job last July due to ageism and a manager who didn't want to do his job. I lost mine due not meeting performance goals. She surprisingly got a job after 5 months. I had a seasonal job that ended in January. I am trying to be realistic about my chances of getting a new job. According to my sister I am being negative and interviewers sense that therefore that is why I am not getting an offer. That's doubtful. I think I am just not the right person for the job. How do I get her to understand she is NOT being helpful and to please stop!
Barbara you might both be right. If you're going in to an interview thinking that you're not what they are looking for you might accidentally do things that make you a self fulfilling prophecy. On the other hand, it's possible you're right. The truth is you'll never really know, but if you keep getting interviews that's a great start and maybe if you do some more practice interviews you'll be able to go in there and emit positivity and confidence
Families are rarely good judges of how you present to interviewers without being there and probably poor judges never the less. I'd not worry what your sister thinks and just work on achieving your own career goals.
