Another Opportunity

I have another opportunity to make a good impression. Tomorrow I will take 3 test for a position here in ATL. 2 written, one typing. This will hopefully end a whoooolllleeee better than the meltdown of last week. Anything will be better than that.

So....
I received good/news bad news. Back in the beginning of my unemployment stint I interviewed with a local university as one of the 2 finalist. I knew I had the job. Enjoyed the 4 different personalities that interviewed me, had no doubt that I could handle and succeed at the position. Never heard from them. Never heard from that. Ain't that some _____. So today I decided to email my main contact for position because this process (being a finalist and not receiving a phone call back) continues to happen. (Don't get me started on the lack of courtesy when it comes to human resources in companies.) Really I need an ego boost so I was crossing my fingers that she would say it was not me as my inner demon keeps trying to tell. SHE did! :) Like most companies they hire from within and the other applicant worked in the school in a different department and that was her advantage. She said that I was a strong candidate and should continue to apply.

My ego needed that.

The bad news. I reached out to another position which I interviewed for and once again they hired someone else. My beef? Can you call a sista and let her know? The contact I spoke with was shocked that the hiring managers did not send out a letter or make a phone call. I wanted to tell I wasn't, but didn't think that was good business. It would have came out so sarcastic I would have offended her.

So my ego is doing better. And I will once again keep up the grind of finding employment.
