Times We Want Our Partners To Sympathize With Us – Not Save Us
When you didn’t get the job
You’ve been sending out resumes like crazy and taking job interviews left and right, on Zoom and in person. You get to the second and third round of interviews. Things feel so close, so many times, and then…nothing. Crickets. You learn that they hired somebody else. You’re meeting your wit’s end. You just don’t know what you’re doing wrong, and you’re struggling to maintain any sense of hope. You want your partner’s comfort and support. Instead, he pulls up your resume and Linkedin profile and starts giving you notes. He suggests conducting a fake job interview so he can see what you’ve been doing wrong.
