A year ago I had a great job. I had this job for 14 years.
It’s weird, but a year ago I would have told you that my job sucked. But then, a year ago I got made redunadant. I think I actually loved my old job.
Anyway, I got this new job. This new job really sucks. It took me 4 weeks to get this new job. I’m grateful for the new job, even though it sucks, compared to my old job.
I had an interview today for a new job. The new job is very similar to my old job, which I used to think sucked.
After 11 months in my new job - a job that truely sucks - I find myself betting everything on this new job. I don’t want it to be my fault if I don’t get this new job.
Where’s the rejection here? Maybe not getting the newest job of the lot? That’s easy…there are many reasons you may not get the new job and not all of them are your fault. Maybe they have a better candidate available. or maybe someone else is willing to work for less. Maybe they decided to not hire anyone.
Fortunately a prospective employer is usually very nice about rejecting applicants (rather than calling you up and saying you suck and they wouldn’t hire you in a million years) so there is lots of room to take it just about any way you please.
And having been out of world for six months till just very recently I have no sympathy for anyone upset at having to wait four weeks. No offense (seriously) but that isn’t bad at all if you went from a standing start to a new job in four weeks.
I’ll consider myself lucky to find a new job in the UK when I get home, let alone in 4 weeks. I’m dreading it, having been out of work for a year after being sacked/let go/shown the door/kicked out on my ass in my last job. Not that I’m bitter or anything, nope, not me.
But seeing as how you posted at nearly 5am, I’ll forgive your ramble, Legion. I hope everything works out for you!
And as I’ve rambled nearly as much as the OP and it is only 12:15am here, I guess I’m drinking something considerably stronger.
