Well, I didn't want to post about the fact that I had a job interview last week because I didn't want to jinx anything. As it turns out, it didn't matter, since this afternoon I got a rejection letter from the company. The job seemed so perfect - it was easy to get to, part-time, great hours, and what seems like a truly fun and cool office environment. I thought I was more than qualified for the job, which was basically doing QA on their website for restaurant listings and menus. The people I met were very nice and the office had some very cool features.
This morning, I got a form email from the company stating that "After reviewing your background and qualifications, we find that we do not have an appropriate position for you at this time." It's very disheartening knowing that I could do that job -- probably better than anyone else they hired. I would be good at it and I would have liked it, and yet they don't feel I'm qualified. I have held more complex positions and excelled. I've been out of the corporate world for a while and took some time to focus on another field. That may have been my biggest mistake -- no one seems to take my application or qualifications seriously.
Anyway, it's just very frustrating. It seemed so perfect....but I guess it wasn't. What I really wish is that I could start my own business. Unfortunately, you need money for that and the only way to get money is to get a job.
