I got the "thanks, but no thanks"
That job I interviewed for where the hiring manager said he was all about me and really thought I was a good fit didn't pan out. After all his reassurance that I was top pick, I got the "Hey, thanks for playing..." form email from HR and it's ka-put.
I know I shouldn't try to analyze why it went south because it could be any number of things, but I think maybe the woman I interviewed with didn't like me? She was tough to read and hard to connect with.
Or a button on my suit jacket was undone?
I said something wrong?
They could tell I wasn't just fat I was pregnant?
I sent a thank you email back to HR and asked if there was feedback I would appreciate hearing it (heard nothing). Then I got a link from the HR lady asking me to join her Linked-in network. Which I guess is good...? And on her linked in site there was a recent request for referrals for the job I interviewed for which means they probably didn't hire anyone.
Now I'm stuck working in the lost circle of he!!, carrying an entire client by myself, and my one lone ally is probably getting a job offer today and leaving as well.
So do I bother to keep looking at 13 weeks and hope I can pass as "fat" for a little longer?
Do I email the hiring manager and see what he has to say and sort of lobby for myself (or that weird)?
Or should I call it a day and muddle through here (stress, ridiculousness, and all) and tell them to shove it when the baby is born?
Ugh. I just want to cry.
