Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / August 2005Didn't get it :o(
Got notified by the Welsh Assembley today. I didn't get the job. :o( I'm finding this really hard. I'm either too over qualified, too under qualified, have the wrong qualifications, or all 3. It's really very depressing. Helen M > Got notified by the Welsh Assembley today. I didn't get the job. :o( > I'm finding this really hard.

Did you learn which of the 3 causes applied on this occasion? Purrs that an even better opportunity comes along soon G & the FF So sorry to hear that- this is the second time you;ve been close isn;t it? Here;s to third time lucky!!!! Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs I'm sorry to hear that. :o( Believe me, I know the sentiments EXACTLY. I got downsized out of a tech job in 2001, and it took me until THIS YEAR to finally find a permanent job instead of the various temp jobs I'd been able to line up. (In fact, last week was when I passed the 90-day new-hire probation period. So this is a *really* recent thing.) If there is something more aggravating and demoralizing than being passed over for a job you KNOW you're qualified for, I don't know what it is (and I don't think I want to know). All I can say is, remember to send the thank-you notes to these places for the interview, and if there's a way to keep networking with any of these people, do it. And most important, *don't give up*. We're all purring and praying for you. Donna, Captain, and Stanley > Got notified by the Welsh Assembley today. I didn't get the job. :o( ... > Helen M Hugs to you, Helen. As good as this job may have seemed, there may be something better in your future. I hope it shows up soon. Annie > Got notified by the Welsh Assembley today.

I didn't get the job. :o( > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Helen M {{{{{{{{{{Helen}}}}}}}}}} I'm so sorry! I know you were looking forward to this. However, this just means that your perfect job is still out there waiting for you Definitely get some feedback from the interviewers on what you can improve on for your next interveiw (most don't mind this at all). Purring that your perfect job hurries up and finds you! Hugs, CatNipped > Got notified by the Welsh Assembley today.

If anything, it's given me more incentive to get my business off the ground. Helen M > Got notified by the Welsh Assembley today. I didn't get the job. :o( > > I'm finding this really hard.

I'm very sorry to hear this, Helen. Like others, I thought a long interview was a good sign. Maybe it was a tough choice, did they offer you a chance to phone for feedback? Tweed >Got notified by the Welsh Assembley today. I didn't get the job. :o( > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >Helen M Purrs and hugs, Helen, for you to find a forever job that you love. At least they did notify you that you didn't get the job. Did they give a reason why you didn't get it? Purrs and Hugs, Nan > Purrs and hugs, Helen, for you to find a forever job that you love. > At least they did notify you that you didn't get the job. Did they > give a reason why you didn't get it?// Yeah, got feedback and it was nothing I did particularly wrong. It went to an internal candidate. i.e. They had someone already, but because they have this equal oportunites employment cr*p, they interview from outside to show they advertised the post. Same thing happened with the Environment Agency, except in that situation there was already someone in the job!!!

Equal opportunity should mean an equal opportunity for all applicants and the most qualified person should get the position, regardless of race, creed, or present employment. Rant finished.

This is crap. I've had this one pulled on me before. Basically, what it means is you never really had a shot no matter how good you were, and they don't let you know that until afterwards. They can lick your litterbox, IMHO. It's their loss. --Fil Awww I"m so sorry Helen. > Got notified by the Welsh Assembley today. I didn't get the job. :o( > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Helen M >Got notified by the Welsh Assembley today. I didn't get the job. :o( You have our sympathy - I know it's a bitter disappointment but am sending additional purrs for whatever is best for you in the future, be it a great job or your successful business. Hugs!!! Jeanne > >Got notified by the Welsh Assembley today. I didn't get the job. :o( Send a thankyou card anyway and try to stay in touch. If the first person doesn't work out, they may call you later. This happened once to me. I was the second choice by the interview committee. The first choice worked there for four months and then quit. They called me. Had I still been looking for work, I would have taken it like that. The salary was pretty good. However, I was back in school, and telling them "no thanks" had an odd satisfaction of its own. Purrs for the future. --Fil >Got notified by the Welsh Assembley today.

I thought it was beautiful, much like the area in Pennsylvania where I grew up. A lot of Welsh coal miners settled in that area, and some of the towns have Welsh names such as Bangor and Pen Argyll.
