For good or bad, I have a job- and I feel like I have been fairly active in applying and I still haven't found anything in over a year. Oh, and I have a Master's degree too. So I totally get where you are coming from.

I had a second interview 3 weeks ago and I still haven't heard from them!! I want to sent an email stating- Obviously you aren't hiring me for this position and it's pretty rude that you haven't responded to me. Whateve- I am pretty sure I would have turned down the job anyway. 2. What's up with the lag time between interviews- I don't like scheduling an interview 2 weeks out- the waiting is horrible. As always- best of luck to you. I better get back to work and stop procrastinating (which I love to do).Sugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14536167915933177591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759507864921441577.post-34356425480841551662010-08-11T23:20:22.252-04:002010-08-11T23:20:22.252-04:00Hip Hip Hooray!

And whenever something wasn't satisfactory, he would literally scream, "That's not good enough!" The funny thing is, he gave me a $10 Starbucks gift card at the end of the interview for being a good sport. They actually called me for a second interview, but I declined.<br /><br />Other than that, can you believe that I'm still getting rejection letters for positions I'd applied for 9 months ago?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759507864921441577.post-4181574803951965822010-05-07T16:37:45.184-04:002010-05-07T16:37:45.184-04:00Oh no!
