So, was rejected today for a job I thought I had a good chance with. I knew it would be competitive. It was with a U.K. university and I thought their disability policy might have meant I got at least an interview as I do fulfil the criteria.
I am feeling very frustrated at the way my life has turned out at. I’m over 40, no children,
but am just feeling as though I am surrounded by happy nappy young families and lovely homes in London where I grew up and somehow I managed to get sidelined in my own life.
I am also in a lot of pain due to a disability and feeling very fed up at the job market. My qualifications are not stellar, they are decidedly modest but I have so much experience from a really wide range of posts.
In my mind, I see myself in a managerial, senior role yet I don’t think I have consistent enough experience that comes across in a CV, etc so I end up with low paid jobs that mean I keep moving sideways but not upwards. It seems such an upward struggle all the time only to know you are going around in circles, not getting anywhere.
I was so ambitious when younger🙂
