| UGH...I am so mad at myself! UGH.....I just have to vent to someone!! I am so mad at myself because I am WAY too emotional. I hate that about myself so much. Any way....I am not really sure why I even do this to myself but I went in for an interview that I knew would be a HUGE promotion if I got it. My hubby and friends were telling me I should go for it even though I knew it was a long shot. The interview went terrible but I got some feed back from the hiring COO that it was good and we needed to meet again. So I go in today for another meeting with him and he gives me the news that he is not selecting me but he really likes me and wants to see if he can help find me another position. I am not sure why I pumped myself up like I was actually going to get the position but I guess I had myself totally convinced because when he said no I know I just looked shocked and emotions over ran me and I started to tear up. I could not believe it was happening to me...I was actually tearing up in front of someone I did not need to do that with. I could not help it and it was totally embarrassing. I know I have been under a TON of stress lately with things at work, home and a few personal things so I guess it just all hit me at once but seriously I was so embarrassed and so MAD at myself for acting like such a weak little baby. UGH.....This day just sucks ROYALLY now! Any way ... I just had to vent thanks for listening.

| Aww, don't beat yourself up about it I'm the director of HR at my company and believe me, anyone that's in charge of hiring and firing, is used to 'lots' of emotion - from ranting and raving to tears. I don't hold a few minutes of emotion against any of my employees - I base promotions on the things that really count

| Oh hun, we have all had moments where we shed a tear at the "wrong" time...(I'm sure he's seen it before)....it's probably the embarrassment of it that's bothering you the most...He still wants to see you and that's wonderful, when you go back, and you will, don't bring it up, just hold your head high, and carry on...don't dwell on it, it was just an event and now it's done....the bigger picture is that the interview well , he's interested in you, and he's looking for a position for you...now that's something to be happy about....focus on the accomplishment not that tiny moment of weakness...

| I used to hate myself for being so emotional. Every time I get really frustrated or angry, I cry. As you can imagine, this happens mostly at work and I finally told myself that God blessed me with a lot of tears, I just have no control over when they surface. Look at it this way, we're not emotional, we're passionate. That passion can make you a darn good employee. Hang in there! |

| You know being emotional only means your a sensitive person. Believe me there are far two few sensitive people in this world. I'm sure he won't hold it against you. You can try setting up a meeting with him/her, and explain you were sorry for crying, but you had a lot on your mind, although you don't need to apologize for being yourself.

| WOW....Thanks SO much you guys....you are all making me feel SOOOOO much better. You know you guys are better than Chocolate and Beer with all these compliments - ha, ha!! At least you have all given me a different outlook on my sensitive nature. I am very passionate for sure so I will start to look at it as a blessing instead of a curse. Thanks again you guys are all so great!!

| I wish you the best hun. I'm the same way. I cry so easily especially when I'm mad and I get even madder when the tears start to flow. I look at it as a sigh of weakness but the things others have said on this thread have given me pause for thought! I think your COO understands and that is part of why he likes you - he knows you are honest with your emotions! Good luck! |

| We can't control our emotions if we're sensitive no matter how much we try. I am the same way. Go easy on yourself. Things happen for a reason. Maybe the next opening will better suited for you. Head up, shoulders back and forget about it. Most of us have been in a similar position. Good luck to you next time. |

| It's hard for me to control my emotions too. I usually get REALLY mad and then I get really sad. What I do to try to be professional is Thank the person and try to make a quick dash to the bathroom. Try to think of something that makes you really happy, wait until you get home and cry if you feel like you have to. Sometimes that's what it takes to be over it. Just try to think that things could be worse. Good luck! |

Oh well.....like you all have said What is done is done....head up and moving on. It by far was one of the most educational interviews I have ever been on and I took away a great wealth of knowledge from it and him. Thanks you guys!

| Awww, I don't think there is a person out there that is sappier than I am. I quit watching Miss America - cause I cry. I quit reading Readers Digest - cause I cry at the stories. I have had tears start at interview turn-downs. No biggie. Many people do. My biggest problem is if I get mad, I immediately start to cry and then my throat chokes up and I can't utter one word. Needless to say, I have never won a fight or arguement . You are gonna be fine and best of luck to you with whatever lies ahead in your job.
