After a brief interlude – normal service will resume 006/365

First of all I apologise for the lack of postings for my #oneaday – a combination of real life events and a lack of tinterwebs access has curtailed my writings but I am back on track so we continue from 006…..

So what to post about, well I’ve had some random thoughts about this and that but I wanted to talk about rejection. It may be a rather emo subject but it’s been on my mind recently so go with me on this one

Now for well over a month I have been looking for a new job – not to long a time I hear you cry but long enough now that I want to start hearing some good news.

Let me put this in perspective a little.

I am looking to move from my south Wales abode to the Surrey area to start a new life with my girlfriend, so far so good. Now to do this properly and not like some love sick puppy so I need to get a job. Not just any job (bar jobs are out) but something that I can earn a good wage on and really get a frsh start going with. Again so far so sensible cat

Now the problem with this is interviews – arrrggghhhh!! I hate interviews bit most of all I hate the rejection that comes with them and the other aspects of applying for work

1- You apply for a job and never hear anything back – obviously you didn’t get a look in at the role but still a “thanks but no thanks” would be nice and polite

2- the inevitable “Sorry your not the right person” Line – I hate it if the reasons why your not right are never quantified or are to bland for you to believe that’s the real reason why

3- the curve ball negative – this one usually has some sort of left field reason why they don’t want you for the role – the one I’ve had recently is “Sorry but you to experienced for the role” – I mean come on – how can you have to much experience

All in all I hate the amount of no’s you have to go through to get a yes – being rejected over and over can get damn depressing I can tell you

I know and believe that the new job for me is out there somewhere and will work out for me soon….. Bit the sooner the better so o can stop having to hear the rejections
