When you’ve done everything right and you still strike out, you begin to second-guess yourself. That’s where I’m sitting now.
The last interview I had seemed to go well. We had a good discussion, none of the interviewer’s questions stumped me or left me wondering if I had said the right thing. I even sent a bona fide snail mail thank you letter. (Important since some of our interview discussion dealt with technology being good but people losing sight of proper business etiquette). I dressed appropriately (in fact, I was dressed in business professional clothing, the others in the office were business casual). I made the cut out of 300+ applicants to get the interview. But I didn’t get the job.
So, somewhere in the midst of all that I did RIGHT, something went WRONG. My job now is to figure out what it was so that I can correct it. So that the next time I’ll get the job.
And also, I need to figure out how to get myself in more doors thus upping my chance of an offer.
I’ve got to step up to the challenge and get that counter reset!
