Several weeks back I was looking for a job and becoming quite desperate. I did an interview and was sure I got the job. It was possibly the best interview I ever did. If I may be so humble, I was perfect. Even the interviewer said she thought I was exactly what they were looking for. I was sooooo excited because 1. I was unemployed and desperate for a job, and
2. The salary was TWICE that of the highest paying job I'd ever had.
Unfortunately, the guy I was being hired to replace decided at the last minute that he didn't want to leave the company after all and I was left unemployed until about 10 days ago, when I got a job at only slightly more than half of that salary...
