Yeah I definitely won't mention depression or mental health during an interview, I agree that people can be bastards.

I have another prospect lined up that I was hoping to hear about by the end of the week. It's through a staffing agency, and the agency is family owned so it seems like they're a good bunch. It's entry level production work which hopefully I'll be able to handle better than human service stuff.

Edit: also thanks for all the advice so far, it's way more than I was expecting to get!

Good luck on the application and let us know what you hear!

Well the interview went pretty smooth today, I got a tour of the entire facility. It's a pretty interesting operation, they do all sorts of imaging of dental patterns and then develop orthodontics and stuff all in house. I think it's a company I'd like to work for since it's family owned.

They're interviewing a few more people this week then I should hear back early next week about whether I got chosen or not. If I do get chosen then there's a three day work interview which is paid, and they see if you're a good fit for the position.

I'm glad I still have other prospects brewing just in case. You guys were right to suggest not banking too hard on something before I got an offer.

Also, thanks again for all the advice folks!!

Glad to hear you think it went well!

I agree with everyone else suggesting that you don't immediately jump into a new lease right after you get a job. Baby steps

When you get home from work immediately take a walk or go for a run or ride your bike or whatever you do stay active. It's really easy to get home, sit in front of the TV/Computer and not get up for the rest of the day. If you are active right off the bat you can break that habit. After you've been there a couple months you probably won't be quite as tired though, the first few weeks at a new job are always exhausting.

I agree with this. Couches have powerful butt magnets inside them, but you can counter the effect with 20-40 minutes of physical activity right when you get home.
