Disappointed with a job interview today. At least i know where i stand

Tweet

I'm working in school this week or maybe more but it's very uncertain therefore, i sent some papers to other employers, where i also worked before and i showed up for today's interview. I am glad i left the school earlier cause, and i honestly don't know what's with traffic this week, i had to walk. Yes, I went by foot and it was not that close, let me tell you. I think i walked between 2 and 3 kilometres, which is not a lot but it is if you do it suddenly like me and not gradually. This was a school dorm and i worked in this dorm when it was covid and maybe that's why they called me to work back then. I worked barely 3 weeks. Well, i went today, of course i wasn't that rembered but i thought i got some level of respect. Asking me if i applied to other dorms and how come i didn't work elsewhere in a judgy tone talks about them, not me though i told this dorm's prinicipal that after i worked at their place, i also contacted them again but didn't finish my sentence they obviously didn't contact me back. Dorms, schools, they are very closed communities here and schools are opening only now or just for me; they advertise more and perhaps due to elder teachers that are about to retire. I didn't recognise the teachers or educators that were on my interview today and they didn't introduce themselves either, which i always hate, i even hate it now when i'm thinking about it (some level of a job etiquette, no way) but not sure why the names of old teachers are still online on their official site. Then, questions like, what is my motivation, what can i offer but asked a couple of times. I mean, my answers were there but i felt looked down upon by them when i mentioned i work in a primary school now. I think they wanted to cross me out while i said i worked in their dorm before, i worked in a high school even, i said this field that they work was my major and that, for me, kids are kids and i like to show them respect and to recieve it back. For a contract up to 2 months or in their words, they are not sure for how long (for this thing, schools are more honest, i must say), they are too demanding and rude, i feel, to a former employee. I was there for them when ther world was tough, i walked today to meet them, sent papers, i think i have good certificates behind me. Experience could be larger but i did what i could in this land of connections (not in all places but in most of them) and that i get an answer that i have a strong competition, like i'm unworthy and they are having another round of interviews; that one surprised me cause, i saw the interviews were only today and i was the last and i told them that but no, they said, there is more applicants (and where was that published on their site, i wonder), i think i did all in my power today. It's sad. I always thought if you work somewhere before, in my country or in general, you have an upper hand but no, for this employer, who even couldn't tell me when will the job start, he said it will take time. Okay, see you next year then. Job searching for university level jobs in this country made me really depressed and anxious before, i thought i wasn't worthy while i craved for work and that desperation was noticed (in my physical health, sciatica and autoimmune diseases). I burned out a few years ago cause i gave myself too much into this and i found myself later in life, which is the last year (i admit i have gaps) but i started to respect myself more and things turned around for me. I wish i did that more in the past or that people in my family believed in me; unfortunate thing is i was looked down even upon by very close family members and who didn't want to encourage me in any way. They said it wasn't the case but they acted like they were ashamed of me in front of some people, they always pitied other people, never me and they thought they were above me, even though i studied 5 years and not 4 years in college, unlike them. So, this dorm and dorm people, it seems it's not meant to be and i'm not sad but, just a little bit disappointed cause, they didn't appreciate the real me, which is an educated person and a person that is giving her best. Sorry for a long post.
