Number 7...

I went on my 7th interview yesterday, it was for an Administrative Assistant job. I was interviewed by a man and a woman. It went OK. They did ask for my references, the first time any interviewer asked for them.
The job sounded kind of...need I say...boring. The woman who interviewed me kept saying the job was really easy and not difficult. I guess that is OK, but I get really bored at jobs if I have nothing to do. Kind of sounded like there may not be much to do at the job. Oh well, I guess I will see how it goes.
I have only received one rejection from the 7 interviews. I haven't heard back from the remaining 6. I suppose a normal person would say:
"Hey peebola, you are probably not getting hired because you are old, and no one wants to work with their grandma."
Maybe. But I would say 60% of the people I have interviewed with were my age or older, so I don't know if "ageism" is holding me back. I just think people in the rust belt are too picky when hiring, and when they do hire they usually hire relatives or friends of current employees. Lots of nepotism around here. Plus, I swear, some of the jobs I interviewed for were not "real" jobs, and I am guessing no one got hired.
It's weird, but it's life.
