Soooo I guess I just need to vent. My husband and friends will always end up saying, "there are plentttyyyyyyy of jobs out there!!!!" A little long but I'm hoping for some neutral perspective.
Anyways, in late October, I applied for a job at one of my dream companies. It would be a game changer for my career since it felt like I've been working to get to this end goal (a company of this caliber) for the past 7 years? Anyways, in addition to that, I'm a new mom (baby born August 2015) and I had strong bouts of depression and feelings of defeat for a month or 2 after baby was born...
Soooo when I applied to this job on a whim, not expecting much, (baby was napping and I thought, oh what the heck) I received a request for an interview. At this time, I was a consultant and picked my own work hours, ever since the baby came along. However, I do want to get back working full time...I feel like I'm losing my ambitions and identity being a SAHM.
So, the first interview came and went and it was great and soon enough, I went up the chain interviewing and interviewing...11 interviews total!!!!! Eleven over the span of early November till early December! I felt in my body that WOW, this might be my big break...The 11th interview was in early December would be my deciding fate since it was with the head of the dept.
So it's been 11 days since my last interview (Dec 4th) and I've heard nothing. Not a peep except "we're still collecting final feedback from all parties that met with you" that was emailed to me about a week after. Now, I felt like I psyched myself up and went so close, and now, it just doesn't look good... Maybe the last interviewer didn't click with me...I don't know.
To make matters worse, I was on Glassdoor.com today reading about interview experiences people had with this particular company. Lo and behold, 2 people wrote up a review about interviewing at this company (posted Dec 7th and 13th) for the same position that I am interviewing for! Granted, there were 3 openings of this position but in these 2 particular reviews, one writer accepted the position and one was denied. Soooo....things were certainly moving.....but just not for me? Sigh.
Anwyays, just needed to vent. If this won't be my big break then I just want to be notified already. This waiting and non-answer is pushing me back into my depressed modes again. Bah!
Any advice on how to get outta this funk? Thanks for reading.
