When for so long you can't get a job for reasons that seem specious, you you finally do have it, you are constantly afraid of losing it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's scary to not know when your next job is coming, and that is a daily fear when you are trying to act full-time.
A lot of times, you just don't get the jobs you want to get.
It's OK to stay at a job that you don't enjoy, because you're scared.
There have been periods of my career that I haven't worked for a really long time, like seven or eight months.
There's always an element of fear that you need to work a lot until people get sick and tired of you or finally figure out that you're a fraud after all!
When I didn't get a job, I thought, 'Don't worry, there'll be another one.' I still live by that now. Nothing really fazes me any more.
It's not easy to sustain a long career, and sometimes I don't even think about how long I've been doing it.
I am very lucky in that if I don't get a job for six months or a year, I've got other things I can do and am fit enough to still do physical work.
Not to sound too pathetic, but there have been long stretches where I haven't been able to get a job.
I still take way more jobs than I turn down, and the reason that I turn down a job is that I just can't find anything in it that charges me or excites me or challenges me about moving to the next phase of where I'm headed.
