Painting By Numbers

Its safe to say that my last job interview did not go too well and the absent call back set that in stone. So with this rejection comes a stage where you have to access what went wrong - what I did well, what I didn't do and most importantly what will I do next time. This process applies to all learning -for the  first couple of days rejection will hurt your self esteem but then an uplifting surge of acceptances comes and life goes on. For this case I noted that painting by numbers helped me to get perspective.

"These shapes often don't make sense individually, nor look like anything "real", but put together as a group they create the image. " Paint By Numbers

How does this apply to my interview failure? Maybe because I wasn't able to perform the minor techniques that brings the interview together.  If I broke by interview up and really critic and fix the minor techniques, mayby next time my interview will be a complete flowing conversation of my strenghts and skills.Every sentence that describes how i think, solve problems and react underpressure will be strong and succint.

So at the moment I'm working on this Under the Sea painting by numbers kit and I work really hard to fill in each number- getting the tones and shadows right. Them I step back and see creatures would  immerge. I realise that minor details are key to unifying a painting, design work and helping me nail my next job interview.
