Rejections: Striving to Look on the Bright Side of Life
I got a rejection letter today for a job I was ultra-qualified for. And I know my cover letter and CV was good. Not even an interview. Can't win em' all, I guess.
Note to self: do not get into an argument with with a member of the board of trustees who significant influence with the human resources staff at the work place you are applying to. In my defense, I didn't know who the man was at the time, and he was a total jackass. Perhaps a sign I would not have fight in well in that work environment.
I have that interview for what could be a better job on Monday. And a couple more recently submitted applications floating out in the ether. More importantly, I have a good, salaried job in my chosen profession, and I am good at it. It pays the bills. Supports my family. Allows me to save for retirement and save a little extra on the side.
Always looks at the bright side of your life. (It's a work in progress.)
