Well, the news is in, and I guess it's not earth-shattering. In its infinite wisdom the organization has decided to go with someone else. I have no idea who, or what her qualifications are, but I'm told it was the usual "difficult decision."

Sigh. Thanks again for your counsel and support through this. I'm deeply disappointed, but very motivated now to find out what I'm really supposed to be doing. Insurance sure isn't it.

Hey Alex - its ok! There's a reason for everything.

This new job interest might have been the kick you needed to get you to where you should be!

Keep searching Baby Girl. Dont give up!

((hugs)) ...and dont let the disappointment get you into the ice cream tonight, k!?! :biggrin1: :biggrin1:

I'm sorry you didn't get the job. It always makes it worse when you KNOW you're the best person for the job and they pay you lip-service before the BUT... speech. You'll find something better. I know that does little to help now so do something special for yourself... maybe a relaxing bath?

When the time is right the perfect job will drop in your lap. I am sorry you are disappointed with this loss, but something better will be in your future.

Chin up. Start sending out those resumes!!!

Sorry you didnt get the job. Something will come up soon for you, it just has to. You are a very smart and bright woman.

Ohhhhhhh. I just bet they'll regret their decision at some point! I'm with Paula, things happen for a reason and you'll have the last laugh yet! Good luck with the next job.

I'm so sorry you didn't get the job, but on the bright side..........I have to agree with the others. Maybe this happened for a reason.

Keep your chin up and keep pluggin' away at it. From my own personal experience, it took me nearly 5 years to get the job of my dreams. Three of those were spent trudging away in an environment I swore I would never return to, just so that I could have the opportunity to open that golden door again.

Good Luck, I know you'll find that perfect position.

Alexandra,

I'm sorry you didn't get the job. It sounded like you were perfect. Although sometimes when you've already worked somewhere, no matter how long ago, they feel they need "new blood" or "fresh ideas". They are not always correct. THE job is out there. I'm sure of it.

Sorry Alexandra... the perfect job awaits and it sounds like you are all fired up and ready to find it... when one door closes another opens... just keep on a knocking!

Sorry 'bout the news Alex. Based on what you had shared, I figured you would be a shoe-in. Well - find comfort in knowing that regardless of what the person's qualifications are, I'm sure s/he is working for a salary you would have scoffed at.

hey Alex, sorry about the job. Was gonna offer all the same thoughts, but decided to go with "Screw 'Em" instead! They will now get what they deserve! You will find something better!!

Kat

Stuff em then!

When you are in the middle of something that doesn't seem to be going well the "maybe it's for a reason" thoughts don't have much comfort...but one day and soon, you'll look back smiling and say to yourself..."See, if I'd taken that job, I wouldn't be here now!" and then all will make sense.

Wherever you're headed now my it bring better and happier times.

Thanks, everyone. In the morning light things look a bit brighter. I mean, it's not like I'm unemployed. Time is on my side and I have the luxury of seeking the right thing on my own time and on my terms.

I'm sure this exercise hasn't been in vain, though its purpose may take time to come clear. I really appreciate your words, everyone.

Alex, every cloud does have a silver lining. There is something better for out there. I left nursing for sales and it was the best thing I have ever done.

will be banded on TOMORROW

Sorry about the job, but it sounds like the whole possibility of it has you thinking in a good direction for the future now -- your resume is updated, your eyes are opened and you're motivated! I'm sure you'll find something different if you look around. Everything DOES happen for a reason..............hang in there

Alexandra ~ I do understand the disappointment this news brings through the experiences of my DH. The past year, he has had many interviews that seemed to be great possibilities. Many times he was in the top 3 interviewing with the top brass.

We are so blessed he recently secured a new job within a short distance of our home. It finally happened at the perfect time and the pay & benefits outweigh anything we considered previously. He now has many opportunities within this new job. :biggrin1:

Stay strong and keep the confidence in yourself. You have now sharpened your interviewing skills for the next opportunity. All things do work out for the best. Sometimes it just takes a little time to see it.

Hugs to you!! :hug:
