I mentioned last week that I had a second interview for a publishing job and unfortunately, I didn’t get it. The feedback was very positive, though so I guess that’s a good thing. I’m a little bit pessimistic because I always get positive feedback from job interviews and I’m informed that ‘it was hard to come to a decision’ but I always lose the job to the experimented candidate. It makes perfect sense but it’s also quite frustrating to know that there’s nothing I can do apart from getting experience. But how do you get experience if you can never get the job? That’s the eternal question. It’s also extremely annoying to hear such positive feedback when I’ve been rejected to the same job for the same company (just a different division) earlier. How can my CV and cover letter be good for one hiring manager but not the other? Ugh. I hate job hunting. But I also feel unhappy with my current job so I need to keep going. Sorry about my rant, but it feels good to let it out!
