Feeling a little stressed out here...

I'm still job searching, and my end date at my current job continues to loom closer....It's very nervewracking and I wish I had more leads at this point! I had an interview over the phone today that I think went pretty well--we talked for over 45 minutes which is a good sign--but I always find myself doubting my performance after interviews and thinking about what I could have done better... I'm really excited about this potential job and I just hope it went well. I just sent my thank you note and I hope to hear about the next step sometime next week. Ugh, I just feel so anxious, every time I get an email I get all excited and then I'm disappointed when it's not job related. I feel like every other part of my life is just sort of...paralyzed right now until I do find a new job and it's scary and frustrating. I still have SO MUCH wedding stuff to do as well, but I just feel like I can't concentrate on that right now and I'm worried I'll fall behind. Anyway, sorry to kind of unload like this, but I am just filled with so much tension it's driving me crazy!

    Job hunting can be super stressful.  But, there is only so much looking/applying you can do everyday.  Once you max out, maybe do some wedding stuff or something just fun that is NWR to keep your mind off of waiting.  Waiting to hear back is the worst and it'll drive you crazy going over things over and over again because there isn't much you can do at that point. 

    Since you are a fellow wahoo, have you checked out the alumni resources?  If you can find other wahoos in your area, they more than likely can help you network.  When I first moved home after graduation I joined the UVA Club of Ft. Lauderdale.  I had found a temporary job but through UVa alum I got my first interview for a permanent position.  That interview led me to get an offer from the company I was temping at.  It's worth a shot.

    Good luck! One of my old bosses told me I said "um" too much in my interview, and I said "so, yeah" after almost every answer lol. But they usually know how nervous people are so they kind of let that stuff slide.

    You still have some time for wedding stuff. Like PP said, taking some time away and spending with your FI that isn't wedding related actually helps. Gets you clear headed and focused for what you need to do.

    I hope you get it! Sending positive fluffy stuff your way.

    Thanks, guys, I appreciate your thoughts. Something else happened at work after I posted this that has left me feeling kind of hurt and like my past year of work has been completely unappreciated. This just sucks, I hope I find something soon even more now. Volleygurl0306--that's a really good idea, I'll have to look into that. I actually got another job once through a UVA connection so I should definitely see if I can pull that off again :-)

    I'm in the job search boat too, only I'm in school right now and graduate in April.  As if we brides don't have enough stress right?  I definitely agree with taking a you and FI wedding-free time here and there, and also, don't forget that part of good interviewing is being well rested and prepared - if you search non-stop between wedding stuff and errands, you'll burn out.
