“It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating.”
[‘The Model Millionaire’ (1912), by Oscar Wilde] Some interviews are lubricated by instant chemistry. Those you enjoy. But a successful interview doesn’t guarantee a job offer. Thoughts, of no material consequence themselves, have strength to bound you to earth, preventing you from reaching the clouds where blueprints ready stand to conceive castles. However flattering it is to inspire someone’s fascination, it doesn’t mean anything if not backed up by a source of income. Joblessness induces a working-girl mentality.
