    Feeling Got a Job Thinking

    I can't believe I finally landed my dream job after years of struggling in this tough job market. It feels surreal! During the final interview, I completely blacked out and somehow nailed it—I don't even remember what I said. It was like I was possessed by some job-seeking spirit! I honestly think the turning point was a fortune cookie I opened that said an opportunity was just around the corner, and I chose to believe it. I'm so grateful for this chance!

    Feeling Thinking

    I’m feeling really defeated right now. I graduated two years ago with top grades and relevant experience, including an internship at a major company that initially wanted to hire me full-time, but they ended up not having the budget. Currently, I’m enrolled in a weekend-only master’s program at an Ivy League school, and despite my efforts, I still can’t land a job. I know I have a strong skillset, but my interview skills are lacking, especially since I struggle with small talk due to being on the spectrum. This month, I had two promising interviews with a company and felt confident going into the final interview with the department director today. However, I’m pretty sure I messed it up, and it’s left me feeling incredibly disappointed and exhausted. I just don’t know how much longer I can keep trying like this.
