This Week's Setbacks

After Monday I only believed the week could get better. I had three possible job prospects. Of those three one was a full time position and the other two were with temp agencies.

The full time position after two weeks of telling me I would be granted a telephone interview with them decided to go with another candidate. I don't know why companies don't have a professional courtesy to call/email/write a form letter to you, to let you know you are no longer being considered. I do know one thing, when I finally am in HR I will remember what it feels like to be a job seeker. I know it is impossible to contact each individual, however once you are contacted for the interview and nothing comes of it maybe someone should call to let you know you are not going to be interviewed.

Now that I have that off my chest, I am going on with Friday's better news. At the Jobseekers' Meeting at St. Paul's Church I was speaking with the moderator about my job woes. I like him. He is very much like myself, in that he is not going to allow you wallow in despair. He's not touchy feely and he doesn't have time to listen to you throw yourself a pity party.

Although I must say I tried having one of those parties maybe twice. I didn't like the person in attendance and chose to join a new crowd.

It will be better this week.
