Reject

Well, another day another rejection... or so it seems.

But I really wanted this one, dammit. You know how sometimes you leave the interview with an "eh, I guess I could work here" kind of attitude. Or worse, "If I had to, I'd take a job here". But no, this is one that was definitely a step up (perhaps a couple steps up) careerwise, a company I could really believe in and people that seemed to genuinely enjoy their jobs.

I know, I know, I'm not supposed to get my hopes up, but at the same time I'm supposed to remain optimistic... hello, contradiction in terms. I was telling someone the other day, I want a job if for other reason than to have something new to talk about. I'm sick of talking about the latest interview, or whining about the latest rejection. And I guarantee the folks around me are sick of it too.

So how's that for a sales pitch... Hire me so I have something to talk about! Ok, maybe not.
