Well, I got a letter from the place I applied that I thought I was doing so well. You might remember, the place where at the last interview they were going to get the next person to interview me at the end. The letter said they decided not to go with me now, keep my application on file a year, etc.
This was the best prospect I've had in a long time. I don't know what I'm going to do now.
Open letter to future potential employers who might've Googled their way here: Sorry if I sound so discouraged, but I really thought I was doing well. The tests were no problem, I thought I impressed the people there, got called right away for interviews, thought I was on the fast track. Then this.
The thing is, I don't know why it stopped all of a sudden. I know businesses have to watch out for lawsuits, and don't want to give specific reasons, and at least I got a letter; but the problem with that system is that I question myself. With setbacks, you try to find out what went wrong and take steps to fix it so you'll do better. But I can't do that, I don't know what went wrong.
And I was afraid that writing anything on my blog might harm me if businesses I apply to in the future do some research on line and find this blog. But I hope they realize that sometimes people need to vent and blow off steam. Also please note that I have taken steps not to mention specific businesses and individuals in those businesses in any of my postings. And certainly no confidences have been breached, in fact or in spirit.
And I am applying for more jobs online, so that's something.
I want to work and get back on track with my life, but I can't and I don't know why.
