I need to be cheered up

Big time. I interviewed for a job about a month ago. It went REALLY well. She said all my responses were right on and even told me I would be a great fit. I felt so good about it. I didn't hear anything and so got a little disappointed but tried not to be too negative. I got a letter in the mail today, I didn't get it. I am so, so disappoinnted. There's been crying. I want to do what I went to school for so bad. I went to school for 8 mother f-ing years and I have nothing to show for it. Not to be totally whiny, but I'm feeling like a big failure.

Ok, pity party over. Make me smile :)

Re: I need to be cheered up

  • Aww, I'm sorry B it's not you it's the economy.  There are so many people out there looking for jobs in and out of their fields there is just a lot of competition.  An interviewer for a job my dh applied for said he had 600 applicants--for one job!  You work in education like me so I can understand your frustration Left Hug.
  • I agree with Tameka. It's so not you Becki. They even said you were perfect. I had an interview like that before and they didn't have a fit for me then but like 2 years later they called offering a job. Have faith.

    ((hugs))

  • Aww, Becki.  It's NOT you, I promise.  You will find what you are looking for.  It might take a little time in this economy, but it WILL happen.  Your hard work will pay off and you will find an even better job.

    Hugs.

  • Becki!! It's totally not you. Like everyone's said, it's this stupid economy. My bestie's husband went for a job interview and the guy LOVED him, then he had a second interview with the owner and he LOVED him too but ended up hiring another guy because he had 20+ years of experience. That guy decided that it wasn't what he expected and quit on his second day of work. They called my bestie's H and he started the next week. It might work out for you, you never know

  • Tameka is right.  It is not you, and it really the economy right now.  It's bad everywhere.  I can totally relate with your frustrations since I am out of a job, too right now.  Something good will come along.  You'll see. 
  • Thanks guys, it means alot <3

    Its tough esp since everyone in my program found a job soon after finishing. I had a few interveiws last summer too. I'm just feeling very defeated. I need to not give up. I really should just be happy to have a job at all.

  • Like Tameka said, it's not you, it's the economy. I'm in the same boat you are. I spent 35K on a master's degree that I'm not using...and the prospects of using it any time soon don't look good. 

    I'll drown my sorrows in some beer with you. Beer

  • Becki - I'm so sorry!  It's really a sh!tty economy right now...it's not YOU!  We had 1 position open at Safeway for a test manager...they had over 700 applicants for 1 job!  Something will come along soon, I have faith!!

  • I agree with everyone, its definitely not you! I have faith that something even better will come along and you wont even think twice about this job!

    (hugs)

  • I'm late but I'm chiming in anyway...I agree, it's totally not you! This economy is rough but if you have faith, the right job will come along.  Hang in there!
  • damn economy!

    It's hard right now but it's a bigger blow when you just know how perfect you are for the job. I bet someone w/more experience was hired. I am so, so sorry. Things happen for a reason. I'm sure a better job w/more stability will come your way.

    *hugs and a corona*

  • I TOTALLY understand not being able to do what you actually worked so hard in school to do. I'm so sorry. But to make you smile:
