[QUOTE="klmno, post: 375740, member: 3699"] You know the job interview last week with the guy who made it sound like he really wanted to hire me and said he'd contact me via phone and email with a follow up letter attached once he had time to compose it, but would touch base with me on Sat, then I STILL haven't rec'd anything from him? Well I just saw another ad listed online for this position. OK, the ad I responded to said "Assistant XYZ" and this ad today says "XYZ" (not assistant) so I don't know if the person he said I'd be wiorking with because she needed some help trying to get it all done just put in her notice, but still, I clearly didn't get this job. I wonder if he was waiting to hear back from previous employers of mine and they gave him a bad referral on me. I can't think of any other reason he would not contact me at all and not even respond to my email to him. I know previous employers are limited in what they can say but these guys know how to say things in a way that gets the point across. The thing though is that the previous job issues were unexpected time away due to difficult child/court stuff. This potential employer clearly has a difficult child and I just said I understood because I had previous problems trying to do everything my son needed but now all that was cleared up. I'd hoped if he heard anything negative, he would have at least asked me about it or let me know. Oh well. I don't know what I can do now to ever get another job if this is going to be the result of an interview. It's happened about three times now- I'd like to ask this guy why I didn't get the job and if he could give me some feedback on what I should do but I'm a little worried about trying to contact him again. Like I said, I sent him an email Mon afternoon or Tues morning, one and he never responded at all. [/QUOTE]
