[Road] blazer survived the purge

Caught this on the escalator out of the metro this morning, everyone in the same navy and grey rushing the same direction.

I’m on interview number 3 this month, same blazer every time because it’s the only one that made it through the move boxes.

Funny how the whole platform looks dressed for the same job.

Mine’s at 9am in one of those glass towers like the one in the photo, round lobby, badges at the front desk before you even get upstairs.

Husband’s been doing the resume rounds too, so between the two of us the printer at the library has basically become part of our commute.

Felt less alone in it today, just walking with a crowd that’s probably running the exact same thing through their heads.

The badge check before you even reach the elevator is such a specific kind of nerve-wracking, it always makes the whole day feel more formal than it needs to be. I’m in my own stretch of interviews lately and the waiting after handing over my ID is somehow the part that gets my shoulders tightest.

Three rounds in one month sounds exhausting, especially when you’re also trying to keep the rest of life running around it. I freelance so my days don’t look like that, but I get the reusing-the-one-outfit-that-survived-everything feeling all too well. Is it the same role each time or a bunch of totally different interviews back to back? Hoping the glass tower one this morning went well for you!
