The Galloping Job Seeker -- I have recently joined the long line of the galloping job seekers. Woe is me, notice the smile on the face is frozen, that's because of the scrutiny of prospective employers trying to read your every thought! Your on a wobbly and lobsided galloping horse. When they shower you with a left-handed compliment, you're galloping a little faster than usual and feeling a bit sprinty. When they point out a so-called weak point, your gallop gets less bouncy for sure. You see prospects a little more rosy and green, they're here to trample your poor galloping horse and point out reality to you not to expect miracles. By the time you finished one interview, half the day is over and you feel you've run a never-ending horse race; galloping wildly and meekly. The next minute your on your cell dialing home checking if someone left a message . Then your gallop starts slowing down when there is no message. Your face reflects the frozen smile of the bouncing gallops of "The Galloping Job Seeker". Another day has passed, time to get off this horse.
