As I suspected… 4/23/2003
I didn’t get the job. I’m not at all surprised since they had taken so long to get back to me. I spoke to the HR person and she was super nice and said she was really impressed with me and that I shouldn’t be discouraged by this. I kind of got the impression that she was surprised the hiring team didn’t select me, as I had done the preliminary interview with her and she seemed to think I was a shoe-in. It is my belief that they didn’t select me because there are younger, fresher, just-out-of-school candidates that don’t already have their own ideas (regardless of how good they may be) about how things can be done, and the supervisor types were only in their mid-twenties. I have no way of knowing for sure why I wasn’t selected, but that is what I suspect. In any case, I’m still available for work, and will continue looking, but in the meantime we have family coming for a week, so that gives me something to look forward to. Our ship will come in eventually, I just hope it is sooner rather than later.
