This has not been my week. I’ve been spending quite a bit of time looking for a new job where I can leverage my work experience with my near-complete
MBA degree from Norwich University. With this economy, it has become more difficult to find the right gig, but I have been pretty patient with the whole process.
I had the opportunity to interview with what seems like a really great up-and-coming company that deals in supply chain management. I interviewed with four people and we mutually agreed that the interview was great. I got a good feeling from the process and this company was more cordial and outgoing than any other I’ve had contact with lately. I really appreciate when people at all levels keep in contact. This is a rarity not often afforded to applicants.
I was notified yesterday that I didn’t make it. It was a shock because the human resources person I spoke to said she was recommending me for hire. I guess it didn’t work out. It is a colossal let-down for me. That was the best opportunity I’ve had and I really wanted it to work. Between that and being bogged down with school and work, I am looking for a way to lift my spirits. I don’t ever put all my eggs in one basket and I’ve learned not to expect anything. But this event has driven me deeper into the rut I was already in. None the less, I will keep driving on in hopes of something happening at some point.
I believe that things happen for a reason. I can usually tell why things happen and good things usually come after the fact. That’s the way it’s always been for me. But it will be a struggle to see past this one for a while.
