Advice for the future

I don’t know if this is something that Martin Sutherland has come up with himself or recycled, but it’s advice to remember for the future:

• A job interview is not a test of my worth as a human being
• Getting through to the next round of an interview series, or being offered a job, is not a validation of my existence
• If offered a job, I am not under any kind of obligation to accept it
• Accepting a good offer for a bad job leads to stress, misery, self-doubt, and despair
• A job interview is the prime (and possibly only) opportunity to find out if the job is bad for me. Use this opportunity wisely.
