Congratulations, we don't want you.
I got this e-mail yesterday about the job I interviewed for in Hayward on Tuesday:
Congratulations! You passed the oral interview for the Paraeducator-Bilingual
(Spanish). Your score on the oral exam was 84, and your rank on the eligibility
list is 14.
Current and future vacancies will be filled from this list during the next 6
months in order of rank on the eligibility list. If you have any questions,
please feel free to give me a call at the below number.
---------------------
To me, this means that although I passed the interview, I wasn't chosen for the position and I was the 14th best person to take the interview. I'm not entirely sure if I'm interpreting it correctly, though, so I e-mailed them back asking for clarification. Still, I'm taking this as a "thanks but no thanks". I'm not sure why they say "Congratulations!" as the very first thing in the e-mail, cos it seems misleading.
The job hunt continues.
