Oh yeah!
Just exercized my Bon Card. Life is good. Got a couple new things. And kick ass flip flops. And a supercool reversible belt ... black on one side, brown on the other. What more could a person want? Good times.
Still no one wants to hire me though. I don't get it. They don't know me. How can they be so judgmental? How can they decide on an intern for the entire summer without giving interviews? Without even calling one super-qualified applicant: namely, moi?
The Spokesman rejected me. I'm sad about that. I e-mailed them yesterday asking if they had received my packet and how the selection process was coming along. They said they had selected a group, not couple, a GROUP of interns and I was not in that group. My formal rejection letter would reach me via snail mail any day. Thanks alot Spokane!
See it's like this: the job process should be alot more like the relationship process. No, don't roll your eyes, I'm on to something here. If I asked someone out on a date, they couldn't simply e-mail me saying they had chosen someone else for Friday, try back next year. No, they would have to talk to me, and give me a reason. And then the next time I would know that you can't ask someone out on a date with balloons and flowers, because that's a little too much and scares people away. Same with the application process, I would know that my clips aren't good enough, or that my scratch and sniff resume is a little over the top. (That was hypothetical, I don't really have a scratch and sniff resume ... but it gives me and idea ...)
Anyway, how am I supposed to get a job if I'm not getting any feedback from the people not interested in hiring me? Do they just have hundreds of applicants, or is my resume and clip packet that shoddy? How am I ever supposed to know?
Life is so unfair! *melodramatic sigh*
But at least I have new stuff to make me happy. Funny how superficial feelings can really perk you up sometimes. :)
