I feel like a turd...

A friend of mine suggested I send a resume to an ex-client of her's.  I did and the owner of the company just called me.  I wasn't at all prepared for the conversation and did not sell myself well.  I probably should have told her, I was in the middle something and asked if I could call her back.  She wants me to email some photos of my work but I feel really discouraged by the way our talk went.

Re: I feel like a turd...

  • So send a follow up letter to the phone conversation.  Explain what happened and include your work.  I'm sure it didn't go as bad as you think.
  • Thanks! You made me feel a little better.
  • I agree with Tammy - especially because it wasn't a scheduled interview so of course you're not going to be super prepared. I had that happen to me a couple of years ago - I got a phone call the day after I sent out my resume (b/c my professor was friends with the person, so the whole networking thing at work...). I was in my shared office with a couple other grad students and ended up having an on the spot phone interview. Certainly NOT my best. But I ended up getting an in person interview and a job offer. I didn't take the job, otherwise I would be in Iowa right now ;)
  • Ditto what Tammy said! Just explain yourself. Good luck love!
