Another interview, still no job.

After a recent job interview with a longevity company with no successful offer I am confounded again as to what to do next.

I always make the same mistake after interviews, I put everything else on pause as I assume I have the job in the bag.

And..

Here I am again, trying to figure out what to do next.

I figure the best place to start is to list my priorities:

• Health – Exercise, Diet, Sleep
• Relationships- Nikki, family, friends
• Learning- Writing, Coding, Longevity, Investing, Metalearning

In my current position some of my priorities have been sliding at the expensive of others. I haven’t found a way to reconcile all of them.

For example, at the moment I am thrive in terms of health and learning, while my relationships are being strained. My wonderful girlfriend and family are being increasingly concerned and worried about my jobless state.

In truth, if I don’t reconcile those priorities as soon as possible I risk doing serious damage to some of my relationships.

Now I have established my priorities I will contrast them against my next steps.

Next steps:

• Continue daily writing and coding practice. (Deliberate practice)
• Continue using twitter to get feedback on my ideas.
• Continue my exercise regime and maintain sleep and diet.
• Start getting serious about longevity and investing by writing company profiles and scientific summaries. (Do the job you wanted by yourself)
• Start applying for locum pharmacy shifts
• Start therapy to work on communication issues.

My personal runway is coming to an end.

My current spending feels more like investing (in myself) to me, however it probably doesn’t come across like that to others.
