I didn't get it :(

Got an email from the firm - yes the one that basically told me I had the job about 2 weeks ago - that they've decided to go with someone else. But I'm on the "top of the list" for whenever they hire more, as though that helps me at all. I feel like the girl who gets 2nd place on the Bachelor.

  • WTH!!  This sucks!  I thought for sure this was IT for you!  Well, on to greener pastures!

    Do you have an interview with that other firm you found on Craigslist?

  • WHAT?!!??! I thought for sure that you had it & that the official offer was just going to be a formality. That just plain sucks, to get your hopes up like that is terrible & completly unprofessional on their part. I'm like Mel, on to greener pastures. There's something better out there for you - I just know it!

  • I am so sorry, that really stinks, especially since they really got your hopes up.  Boo to them.  Something good will come along soon!
  • Dude, I feel your pain. They should have not lead you on like you were going to get it.

  • Rach, I am also sorry that this opportunity didn't work out for you, and I agree - it is better for companies to be "bland" in their feedback prior to a hiring decision than to virtually assure a candidate and then disappoint. But that having been said, this is just confirmation that it may not have been your right opportunity - and now you are free to pursue that more fully :-)) It will work out!!!

    My thoughts exactly!  What a bummer, Rach, I'm sorry :(

  • UGH I'm really sorry! Hopefully something will come along soon!!
  • So sorry to hear you didn't get it! I will be sending extra job vibes your way and hope that the right one is just around the corner. Keep your head up and don't let this bring you down too much. You are good at what you do and someone will recognize it sooner than later.

  • Aw, man, I'm sorry, I think this was it for you. How crappy of them to get you all hopeful. Here's hoping another position will open up for you soon either there or somewhere else.

  • Boo!!! :(  That was totally unprofessional to lead you on like that, I'd say red flag in my book.  Can you still interview for that posting on Craigslist???  There are other jobs out there, keep moving forward!

  • Thanks you guy I heart you so much!

    I did have a second interview w/ the craig's list firm yesterday, and it went well though I am HAPPY that they were very professional about it and made no promises. I definitely am not getting my hopes up because I can't handle the disappointment again, so we'll see. I just keep repeating "what's meant to be will be" and being thankful that I'm employed while going through this crap -- i really feel for those who are dealing with a job search while unemployed.

  • Ugh, what a bummer! I'm sorry to hear that they didn't offer you the job. And like the other girls said, pretty unprofessional on their part to lead you on. But hey, everything happens for a reason right? Maybe this will lead you to something even bigger and better.

    This! If that is how professional they are maybe you are better off somewhere else.  And obviously they liked you if you are at the top of their list so I'm sure you will have no problem finding a place where you are the #1 pick!
