So Disappointed

So Dh got the bad news Thursday that he didn't get the job with San Diego PD. I am not sure if he just got a crappy Dt or if there are just to many Cali people looking for a job. He is soooo upset about this, I have been trying to lift his spirits but he feels like he is a failor and trapped in his current job because he didn't finish college.  He really doesn't want to go back to school but it doesn't look like he has a choice. The qualifications for the job stated that you needed no more then a high school diploma. But the DT said he didn't have anything to offer except his experiance and he would have gotten the job if he would have had a degree. Now to me this sounds like false advertisement. Since he current works for NYPD but has peace officer status. I am really upset, we have been trying to move back to the west coast and it finally felt like everything was working out. I don't want to say anything to my company about it just in case one of the jobs I have been looking into is still an option... but then if he doesn't have something we really can't go anywhere.   I am trying to stay upbeat but I feel like **** We have been a believer in "Everything happens for a Reason" I am just hoping that reason is because there is a better job for DH that is going to show its pretty head in about 60 days...

  • Oh no! I am so sorry. I would be very disappointed too. But just chin up and keep being strong for your DH. His new job is out there. Hopefully, he'll find something even better soon.

  • It's been very hard to get PD jobs lately.  They are one of the first in a recession to be asked to do more with less.  One of my brothers is trying to get a PD job where he lives (West Coast) and it has been very difficult.  I have heard that people with military experience are preferred over those without, which might be the problem especially with SDPD.
  • I am sorry to hear that.  It is tough looking for a new job in this economy.  I too believe that everything happens for a reason, so I am sure there is something better for you guys just around the corner.

  • I'm sorry to hear that the SDPD didn't work out. I know it can be frustrating. Unfortunately, I don't have any words of wisdom...just that I hope everything works out for you. =)

  • Janelle, I'm so incredibly sorry to hear this. But, this is a just a temporary set-back! Have you guys checked into other police departments in CA? Or are you guys really set on San Francisco? I can imagine how disappointed DH must feel, but you continue to maintain your optimism and help him apply to other PD's. You guys will get there, stay positive and hang in there! :)
  • I'm so sorry it didn't work out. He must be so frustrated. Just keep your chin up and be strong for your DH, hopefully something even better will turn up soon!
  • Thanks everybody, If my position comes through I think we have decided that we will still move and once things in California are looking better Dh will try again with another county or even SDPD again. He is getting better Just staying positive and thinking long tern what is the ultimate goal. Thank you ladies for all your support!
