Didn't get job

It's ok. The test was incredibly hard.I'm disappointed, but it just wasn't supposed to be. I did do my best. I've apologized to my friend who referred me for letting him down. I'm a bit embarrassed.

I'm sorta bummed, but I have my home group meeting tonight. Those folks always make me feel better.

Thanks for all the good thoughts and prayers!

Karen

I'm so proud of your bravery. It's inspiring. You'll find where you belong - as long as you continued to discover and know yourself. That in and of itself is such an amazing accomplishment and gift. Be well.

I know how you feel.

I found out Friday I didn't get a good consulting Gig. It would have been 6 months @ $75.00/hr....

I made it past 5 phone interviews, but blew some really BASIC technical questions. It was performance anxiety.

Anyway, good luck to you, God will lead you to where you belong.

Karen more then likely this interview/test was simply a warm up for your future job, you went to bat for a job which is something many do not even try to do.

Yes Karen, its good practice for the next interview. You've had a disappointment but you didn't pick up a drink, you've passed that with flying colours.

Through defeat we learn the meaning of true victory... my wife has continually pointed out how each setback in my career has been followed by an even better oportunity that has worked out for the better... each defeat is an opportunity for personal growth... as someone else pointed out.. perhaps God had a different plan for you... keep your eyes open!

I can't help but feel like congratulating you... I felt while reading about this that no matter the outcome... you had already won!

Sorry you didn't get it... but congrats on taking life on life's terms... you rock!

Sorry you didn't get the job. At least you gave it a shot. Another opportunity will come along. Just be as positive and as willing as you were with this one.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Karen, I understand that you're bummed, but had you not tried, you'd still be right where you are, right? Keep putting yourself out there, chickie, and what's right for you, what's waiting for you will come along. And you won't have to be afraid of going after it when it does.

Peace & Love,
Sugah

Debaucher I love that statement...... it is so very true once one has turned it over, every experience in life is a learning opportunity and this was one of them.

If you did your best, I'm sure you didn't let your friend down, or yourself for that matter. Never be disappointed for giving it 100%. Other opportunities will come by. Be ready for them when they do.

Best to you.
