[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 375741, member: 6546"] K-- In this job market...who the heck knows? Maybe you were fantastic - and then the next applicant came in and he was even MORE fantastic? I mean, there are literally hundreds of applicants aplying for every little opening. Folks with advanced degrees are showing up hoping to land a job sweeping floors... I, too, have had some interviews where I was under the impression that I had the job....and then....nothing. I went through this just a few weeks ago. GREAT interview....really felt like we connected...she told me to keep my schedule open on such-and-such a day because they'd like to have me come in and meet the entire staff... Well, the day came and went...I heard nothing. Finally, I sent an email asking whether they were still considering applicants. She responded that the position was no longer available was one of the applicants turned out to be a person that had worked there years and years ago....so they'd rather hire somebody that already knew the whole business. Thanks anyway. My point is - you never know who else they are in contact with. It may be nothing against you in particular as much as it is somebody else who just has exactly the right thing going for them. [/QUOTE]
