It has been five weeks since my interview at the design firm. No call backs. No emails. So I knew at some point bad news was coming. This morning on my email were those not so fun words: we have decided to pursue further talks with other candidates and are not interested in offering you a position... What a wonderful way to say Merry Christmas.
I am excited and thankful that I got this interview, and knew it was a long shot - all of my interviews are long shots since I am looking to change industries. But I did not get a second interview, so they must have known for some time that I was not the one. It would of been a bit more polite to tell me around the beginning of the month instead of the Friday before Christmas. Did they not think of this? Or were they more like... let's ruin that guys Christmas weekend by letting him know he's not wanted.
I'm done talking about interviewing. I'm done blogging about it. It just makes me feel worse about it. Not sure how I will find a new job, but I need to do something different since sending cover letters & resumes is not working.
I'm done blogging for the year. I might post some photos, and I will definitely play lots catch up on the many blogs I have not had time to read. Thank you all for reading and commenting. It has been a good year of meeting some of you, and getting to know the rest of you.
Merry Christmas.
