Three more interviews with good prospects, three more rejections. Well 1, really, though the form letter he sent me was grammatically a wreck. Seriously, I so wanted to email him back with a "gotcha" type email. Thanks A-Hole for the form letter, nice to know I meant so much to you that you didn't even frickin proof read your rejection letter.
The 2nd one didn't even call, no suprise there, what is wrong with HR people? Granted, when I was a manager I rarely called either, something I will have to work on in the future.
The 3rd was this morning. That was before the heavens opened up and ensured that every single artery entering the city was clogged. So as a result my babysitter was 15 minutes late and so was I, turning my 3 hour interview into 45 minutes of painful questions. How many ways can someone say they are not going to hire you without actually saying it? I heard a few this morning . . .
"I am looking for someone I can trust, who I would want to take to dinner with my family, so I will be looking at about 5 other candidates and then making my decision."
"I will call the other two people you interviewed with and talk with them about their thoughts."
"I really want to make the best fit for the company"
"The person I hire has to be perfect, I don't want to get 2 months in and have to fire them."
"I want someone who is dedicated and hard working, No Jerks"
Wow, thanks for that.
Now to be fair they may still call me back, but I would serously doubt it.
Of course after leaving and trying not to kill myself, a good friend called and put it in perspective for me. So I will trudge on, next interview is tomorrow. 10 am. Onward and upward.
