Am I the only one who is completely pessimistic when applying to jobs? (find a job, career)

His place of employment may not be hiring.

That said, having too much energy and being too chatty isn't necessarily a bad thing, from what I've experienced.

Charisma alon in many situation can take you quite far.

Or he can be in a completely different field. I;m quite sure if they had the same background he would have found a way to bring her on board

Hyperness/Chattyness can be a bad thing since its possible to come off as flighty when your not if people dont get you..... But I try it tone it down in work situations...

Some people see someone that's hyper and chatty as someone who's going to want to be busy doing something all the time (which means a more productive worker) and a great communicator (talks to customers as they should be spoken to, gets along well with other employees).

Th above prespective of course does apply more so to women employees versus male employees.

No doubt. As many of your posted comments would be equally loved when taken out of context ...
