I keep everything to myself. Regarding the job search, that is. I found out today I did not get the job with CDC, which I thought was almost a sure thing. That makes me feel.... foolish, for lack of a better word (and several other, not so nice/blog inappropriate words). So far I've mentioned the possibility of two jobs to the world, and gotten neither, making me feel like a huge loser, so from here on out, no one gets to know what I'm applying for. Then, when I don't get it (as is bound to be the case, evidently), no one knows but me. Hah.
Now that I've decided I most definitely do not want to stay in Gainesville, I have the choice to do just that AND no one else wants me. Arrrggh!

tough break, kid. but as someone who has applied for many a job in her time, i can tell you that to even get an interview for as many jobs as you have so far is a huge feat! i have applied for so many jobs that i never heard a word from! sure, it's easier on the ego to be ignored than rejected, but the fact that you are getting interviews is a very good sign!
also, it has been proven that interviews are pretty worthless. and the reasons why people get hired really dumb, i.e. local candidates are often chosen over out-of-state if it is close. so try not to let this shake your confidence! the system itself is REALLY poor!
keep your chin up. you'll find something soon.
i agree with everything ashley said. also, you are extraordinarily hire-able, you look good on paper, (and in pictures and in real life!), and frankly, you're awesome.
plus, in this crazy life, let's not judge our self worth based on how employed we are. please.
keep on applying!
lo siento mucho, esteph! i knew just talking about it was upsetting you yesterday. you are an amazing candidate and very well qualified...it just takes time.
feel free to keep the job search news to yourself, but also know that i am (we are, speaking for ashley and ko) always willing to be there for you through the disappointment and frustration, as much as the excitement and joy.
FYI:if you are interested in being a clinical trial specialist (much cooler than my job)...i have a job for you! check out s-3.com.
