So yet another rejection, me surprised? On the contrary, not at all surprised. I knew looking at myself in the mirror, I wasn’t their cup of tea, what I found truly ironic was they said they didn’t want a “wall flower” and needed someone with some balls, however when I thought I showed that in my line of questioning which they informed the recruiter they didn’t like I mean just because I flummoxed them when I asked “Can you sum up working at (insert business name here) in one word?” Shouldn’t be a reason to not consider someone, was I maybe too balsy and should I have just kept my mouth shut? Then they probably would have said, ‘she was too quiet and didn’t fully ingage in the interview.’ Can’t f—king win.
So should we as job seekers keep our mouths shut and not ask anything other than the simple, describe a typical day like here? Well the recruiter’s advice was wait till the second interview. Sadly, most of my interviews rarely get that far, maybe this is why? So I’ve decided if and when I get another interview, I will hold my tongue ask 3 simple questions and that is it and if they don’t ask me back then I don’t know what else I’m supposed to do. Ha Job seeking, what a f—king joke. It’s this intricate game that you are not told the rules of so you play blind folded and try your best. I think not being a certain colour really doesn’t help matters and yes I’m playing that card because I know with two similar skilled people who actually wins out and I have to say, it isn’t me. Let’s hope the one that does actually say “We really liked you and we would like to offer you the job” will be a place I’d like to work for.
Off again to the job search we go.
