Poopie shit all to hell
I interviewed for an AWESOME position in Jackson, CA a few weeks ago. When i walked out of that interview I did the "yessa!" move, knowing I nailed it! The woman who interviewed me said "Don't panic if you don't hear from us for a few weeks, blah, blah, blah" shut the hell up...
I found out yesterday they gave the job to an ex co-worker of mine. Whom I adore; but, I really thought I was a much better fit. It's a training position and you need someone dynamic to train, right? Fred* is not dynamic. He's sweet, kind, funny, etc...but not training material.
This news also came after I majorly bombed an interview yesterday. So, needless to say, I was pretty much hating myself.
funny...I told this girl at work my sad story and I compared her to someone a little dimmer than candle light and said if they picked dim girl over you "wouldn't you totally think you were a piece of shit?" She said "No. I'd think they were stupid." It's always shocking to me to see the differences in peoples thinking.
I need to be more like her.
*His name is not Fred

i'm telling you there is something in the moon and stars. you and i are quite challenged lately. job wise, weight wise. whatever.
it's when things get really wacky resiliance is the key. something is bound to turn around. oh and by the way. Emily hired the boot camp drill sgt lady. she's a nutritionist, drill sgt. etc.. emily has to turn in her homework at her monday night boot camp. this week she was re-measured. she has lost a total of 30 inches all over and 3 of those in ONE thigh!! 10 pounds in 7 weeks!! and 4% body fat. i'm joining. It's a 90 program, $25 a week. She's in your area Monday nights. my left thigh is like 2 inches bigger than my right. 3 inches in one thigh. i'm so there.
90 day program. Let me know if you want her website. $300 total.
I have the habit of being a bit of a pest, but in a positive proactive way. After I interview, I generally call the HR person a day or two after the interview to see if there is any progress.
I haven't interviewed much in my life. In this part of the country and in my industry you would hire me because I'm Buffalo Dick, or you wouldn't hire me because I'm Buffalo Dick...
interviews? huh?
don't you know everyone else is stupid?!? and that other people suck?!
I really hate it when you 'think' you landed it and then SPLAT! someone informs you that you are not as talented as you thought you were....
I think I might actually hire buffalo Dickdy to come by and name my next pet
Unfortunately, I NEVER think I EVER nail an interview - I always walk out thinking "GAWD, why am I SUCH a spaz?"
awww, too bad not Fred got the job. But your co-worker is right. They ARE stupid.
Keep looking. Your job is out there. I got one I like - working in booze. Tonight after work we tried a new ready-made margarita. The shit I have to do, I tell ya. Slave-drivers they are. Hey! You should come up here and work with me. That would be a blast. Get to work on those immigration papers. Kody can hang out with Simon while we're drinking...uh, working I mean.
ef, ef, ef! it's so efed up. seriously, what are the odds? a couple of weeks ago i also interviewed for a training position and really thought i nailed it. i had to give a 5 minute presentation and it was flawless. imagine my dismay, when, like you, i found out they decided to promote someone from that department instead. ugh! i just wanted to throw up.
don't worry chickee. something better will come along (that's what i keep telling myself anyways).
Yes!...you so need to change your way of thinking....why is it, we(me and you) always blame OURSELVES when something doesn't go our way? Couldn't it be that the other person/persons are just pain assholes and not worthy of our time?????
Screw them! If they want Fred, that's their problem!
ya, if they were that stupid to take someone else that wasnt fit for the job, then you didnt want to work there anyways.
