This week, I had an interview for a photography apprenticeship with a local photography company. I felt I had a pretty good shot at landing the (non-paid) position based on the description and the emails exchanged with the photographer.
Tonight, I received the disappointing news that I was not selected. While I have had the rejection email/phone call for paid positions often enough lately, this rejected was a surprise. It made no sense. The interview went well. The conversation flowed, our opinions on photography meshed, and I felt we had much in common. To be told that they did not select me for the apprenticeship was a shock. Not a huge one since as I said, I've had my fair share lately, but it seemed like it was a good fit.
So, my weekend did not end well or my week did not start well, take your pick. Does this imply those two jobs I'm waiting to hear about will follow suit? Is this how my 2010 is going to end...in disappointment?
I'm sorry that this didn't work out, but sometimes the closing of one door means the opening of one to something so much better.
ReplyDeleteWant to apprentice at a Lego Bday Party on January 29? You owe your friends a visit you know??!!! Nod. Nod. Wink. Wink. Just a thought from an open (in slight decorative disrepair) guest room door in NJ.
look at it this way.......2011 HAS to be better!
ReplyDeleteNicole, I'm not sure. I'll email you why and it has nothing to do with you. It's actually a tad annoying.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristin! I sure hope so. I'm getting tired of so much rejection.
