Do Me Internally


Under the continuing saga of my search for employment, I received a call this morning from HR at the company where I've been concentrating my efforts. They're the largest in my industry and universally praised as a great place to wor Up until said call came in, I'd been working four different opportunities there. There one in particular that I found particularly exciting and it represented a great fit for my<b> background </font></b>(same markets, customers, etc.). You know what's coming, which is they offered the role to someone else. What made this call different first, I got a call and not an automated email, and second, the message that came with it. The hiring manager specifically asked HR to reach out to let me know they wanted to make me an offer, because I the best fit, but it went to a last minute internal applicant. The individual I spoke with indicated the company prioritizes internal candidates, where they can. Indeed, one of the things I find most appealing about the company is the ability to advance in a rapid manner. The roles I've not gotten offers for all went to internal candidates as well.

As one might imagine, it's beyond frustrating to be still for gainful employment after over six months, but to hear it's not because I'm a defective asshole does offer a bit of hope. Proves I'm quite adept at concealing that part of my character during interviews. For clarification, I'd been all but offered a role a few weeks ago, but the hiring manager reached out to inform me that it would require me to relocated to Wisconsin. I politely and professionally informed him there no way in hell I trading one midwestern hell hole for another with more snow and colder temperatures.

Arrghh, that has to be frustrating.

Re: WI - think of all the wonderfully affordable cheeses there

What's the saying about adversity and strength of character?

No discount on cheese is worth moving to WI...

Thanks...no choice really, but to remain persistent. I'm a bit old to find a high quality sugar mommy, and it's not as though they're plentiful in Kansas.

We love you here in blogland! But we're too cheap (read "broke") to pay you a salary.
Bottom line...How long can you live on love?
Sorry you didn't get the job and hopefully someone will do the right thing and hire you for a position that will be a great fit!

Hmmmm....I know I left that wand around here somewhere!

Thanks for the encouragement. It'll all work out, but I'd prefer it happen sooner rather than later (as he watches his savings slowly egress).
Could always be worse, I guess, but it pisses me off coming on top of the deal with my parents. At least I have my dog, now, and she makes me smile every day.
