Did not get the job I applied for. (Found out today, interview was yesterday.) They told me I wasn't experienced enough with customer service; I guess that's just how it goes. Not really an entry-level position. Ryan had thought that my support experience would make up for it, but these days employers can afford to be choosy ( Read more... )

Well, at least you got an interview. Last month I got a call to set up a phone interview, but they never called back to set up a time. :( And in Melbourne is see the same jobs that I apply for being reposted 6 or 7 times, so I'm not too sure what to make of that. I hope your luck gets better!

Yeah, this is the first one I got an interview for. It's also Ryan's job, so there were connections. And that's probably a good part of why, I suspect.

Are you in Melbourne full time now?

Not yet, most of my books are still in Orlando! :) I'm slowly moving all my stuff over, but I really need a job to chip in with bills. I have JUST enough financial aid to do it, but I don't feel comfortable relying on it. I AM however going to start to fib on my application and resume and say I live here, because I think that is something that is holding me back some.

My new laptop is delivered on Monday, SO EXCITED!

Oh, also, Jake is in LA for two weeks for work. He's gonna be in SF on Monday to meet up with friend. Any food recommendations for lunch/dinner? Preferably with ugly women/only men? :D

Ahaha well I don't know about ugly women but I can recommend plenty of restaurants in the Castro.

I'd offer to meet up but since I haven't actually met him in person, that would probably be weird. You should have gone with!

I wouldn't have minded, but it was a two week trip, and I had a class in Tampa. However, he might be out there a lot in the coming months to work on integration stuff, so plenty of time for me to badger a space! He's staying in the hilton this trip and keeps making me jealous talking about room service and the $100+ bathrobes.

Well, Hotel My House has neither room service nor bathrobes, but it's very ... homey. And comfortable. And free! *subtle*

Plus, it may or may not come with a free city tour.

Amelie is a GREAT movie, one of my favorites as far as foreign films go.

Sorry you didn't get the job. :-(

FOMO absolutely beats the alternative, Nothing Going On. :-)
