Ow.

Matthew,

Thank you for interviewing for the IT Manager position with the Columbus Blue Jackets.

While we were impressed with your interview, we have determined that your credentials do not meet our needs at this time.

Thank you for your interest in the Columbus Blue Jackets, and we wish you best of luck with your career endeavours!

While I was kinda expecting that at this point, it -is- a bit of a punch in the gut.

Argh :(

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

Yeah. But like I said...you don't hear back for a month, regardless of claims that they're working on narrowing the candidates...I wasn't expecting good news, really.

[las.livejournal.com]

I know. But I've applied for jobs I felt I was born to do, and didn't get them, and it always made me feel like shit afterward.

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

Yep.

Fortunately, Alex took me out for some dinner, and watching some good (and really bad) TV helped out.

(1980s movie called (I kid you not) Robot Holocaust. OH-MY-GOD levels of terrible, but funny!)

Sokay. We're gonna make it.

[mscongeniality.livejournal.com]

Ugh. Sorry to hear that.

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[chaptal.livejournal.com]

sorry, you did your best.

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's the good part - I really did feel like I had a good interview - it was just something else. I may even ask the HR lady if she has any feedback she could share with me. We'll see!

[valkyrwench.livejournal.com]

Awww, poop. I was hoping...

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

So was I, but we'll go on. The upside is that I have a perfectly good job -now-, so it's not like it was this or starving, at least.

Damn, man, sorry, I know how much that sucks to feel like you should have had something and then don't get it, but people remember a strong interview and at least you got a response. *Hug*

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

*hug* Much appreciated. And who knows? There could be something else down the line.

...hell, if I wanted a complete psychotic change of career, I could probably apply for a season ticket rep position and get some notice. OTOH, I suspect it'd slowly drive me insane.

[dr4b]

Yeah, I'm sorry to hear that.

And believe me, I totally understand.

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

*nods* I can imagine - Thank you. I really do appreciate everyone who has dropped in. :) It helps.

[ptika.livejournal.com]

Damn, sorry to hear.

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

*nods* Yep. Thanks, tho.

[duneaql1.livejournal.com]

Ooh, harsh! I'm sorry Matt. At least you were under serious consideration, so cheers for that.

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

Thank you - it is something, anyhow!

[alathaniel.livejournal.com]

Ack! Sorry to hear you didn't get it.

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

Yep - but we'll manage. At least I do have -a- job. :>

[alathaniel.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Not having to go through my little saga of finding something without any income is a plus.

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

Very true - and I'm not (mostly) looking - this was just too much of an opportunity to pass up.

[mg4h.livejournal.com]

Ah, well. You tried your best.

*HUG*

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

So I did. Thanks!

[chaoticgoodnik.livejournal.com]

Sorry it didn't work out.

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon. Me, too.
