iReport —

Recently I was lucky enough to land an interview for a job for which several hundred others of varying ages had applied. After the interview I had a gut feeling I had not scored a win. I spent the next 24 hours suffering from a horrendous anxiety attack that I am proud to say I handled and survived through some good self-talk.

It's so much harder to deal with rejection when we're older. So it's important for us to share our experiences so we don't feel isolated in our job searches and to support each other when we stumble. Hang in there and keep in contact with the old Infoaddict.
