Hello,

I have a job that I really enjoy, and amazingly can deal with shift work and crazy hours as someone with bipolar disorder. I work for a municipality and my start time is typically 1:30 am.

I still hang out with friends and go to the gym. The schedule works well for me as far as going to bed early. I was never into the night life anyways. So my work is good, social life good, hobbies good, and family life good.

But, the politics at work do drag me down and I do my best to stay out of it.

I had a job interview for a full time position (I am still a casual part-time employee, though I work full time hours), and I was aware of my lack of confidence even though I felt I nailed all the work related, technical, and interpersonal questions. I did not sell myself as I should have.

My mindset in this interview was I am working mostly at a larger worksite, and applied for a job at a smaller one because I am almost desperate to leave the place I am currently stationed. This is not an ideal approach for an interview.

I guess the good thing about this interview regardless of what happens is I know I need to figure out how to believe in myself again, because right now I don't know how to.

As a former English teacher I feel I can say you present your thoughts quite well. You're plainly articulate. I believe that will have come across as confident. From that perspective you have the right to self-confidence.


Aside from the above, it sounds like you've got your life together. That's something to be proud of as it's not easy to accomplish and maintain.
