Oh dear ...
She didn't get it.
A very nicely worded email arrived on Friday, letting serena_inverse know that she hadn't got the job. She's coping quite well but now she's questioning whether it was the brain!flail moment or her overrun on completing the abstract that cost her.
*Sighs* She turned to me and said "I'm smart, aren't I?"
I cannot speak of my revulsion for a system that leaves bright, capable young people like this. Much is made of our need to work longer, pay more and get smaller pensions-but what if you can't even get on the ladder? She's not earning enough to pay off her student loan, or accrue anything other than the basic state pension. Plus it's unbelievable that British Employers are saying that they can't find British people to employ so they're taking on immigrants. Nothing to do with the fact that they can pay less, oh no.
Thanks to all of you who offered support. Between that and the amount of prayer going on, she ought to have waltzed it.
