About a year ago I had an interview for a job that I REALLY wanted... the job description sounded 100% like me and my skills. It was at an advertising and marketing place, so they did agency stuff for people as well as graphic and web design and stuff. It was perfect. The interview went really well although about halfway into it the woman turned to the man (I was interviewing with the owner and the business manager both) and said "should we talk about why we don't want a graphic designer for this position?" Whomp whomp...
But regardless of that, we all got along SO well. It seemed like completely the right fit. They even took me around and introduced me to all the other employees (only about ten people.)
but they ended up giving the job to somebody else.
It's been a year and I still can't get over not getting that job. I wanted it SO bad and sometimes I still go looking at their website to see if they're hiring for anything else.
Well, I just discovered that the business manager is Facebook friends with several of my co-workers, and apparently is pretty close with at least one of them.
I suppose I should feel relieved that she didn't let slip to any of them that I had been in her office interviewing. But instead I'm even more upset. Why?? Why didn't I get the job?? I was the right fit. We have mutual friends! We have connections! Shouldn't that have been bonus points? Isn't that how you're supposed to do things... you have connections and I get a break because we both know the same people? Or maybe being friends with radio people was a negative, I guess, haha.
I just don't understand. and I'm so frustrated right now even though this was a YEAR ago that I didn't get this job. seriously, out of all the jobs I've applied for, this is the only one I can't just put in the back of my mind and forget about. I just want to throw a temper tantrum.
I really don't want to have to move to Chicago, but it's looking more and more like that's the only real option here. And I have no idea how that's going to work. How do you just... start working somewhere two hours from where you live? There would be a time period in there that would be completely unfair to the dogs. They would probably go live with Auggie's breeder for a little while because I can't just leave Payton with my dad without me around unless I want him completely ruined.
so. frustrated.
that's all I got I guess. >=|
