Went to Columbus, interviewed, looked like a good job, nice town, blah blah blah…
Didn’t get the job. They said I had “too much R&D experience.” Well, hell – they knew that from my resume when I went in there, now didn’t they?
Well, at least they didn’t make me wait days or weeks for a decision. I’ve got an outside shot at a position in Northlake, IL, but I don’t consider that a good probability right now. Heck, maybe they’ll prove me wrong. In the meantime, I’m putting the job search on the back burner for the next few days and concentrate on Anthrocon.
Lots of stuff going on today – preparations, packing, shopping to be done, scones to be baked. We drive out of here between 6 and 7 AM tomorrow and we want to get as much into the car as possible tonight (the cooler will have to wait for the morning, though). I reckon we’ll pull into the Adams Mark around 4 PM or so. See y’all there!
I always love the “you have too much experience” line. Wouldn’t that make you much more desirable?
Awww…
Columbus is nice, but I think it’d be a bit too conservative for you. However, it does suck that they wasted your time and theirs with the interview, and I know the rejection stings.
Have a safe trip. I’m sure I’ll see you both sometime over the weekend.
Sorry to hear about the job…and safe trip to you two. 🙂
Well, put the bad behind you and watch it fade into the horizon as you go and have fun at AC. *hugs* Have a great time!
