    didnt get the job..vent

    well today when i went in work i found out i didnt get the job i applied for about 2 weeks ago in the monetary department and i took it pretty hard. I tried not to be upset and i went out to my car on break and just started crying and couldnt go back in, i called my boss and told him i was leaving for the day ( hes cool with it no probs there).

    Ive been in the call center industry my whole life, ive been call center super at the company i was at before i came to the place im at now. i took a huge paycut and then was promoted to super again, that didnt last long cause the dept i was in closed due to he economy, so i was forced to take a lower paying job in the same company, not because i was demoted, but i took it because i wanted to have a job and for the benefits, so it was back on the phones for me. A super position came up in my dept and i didn'tc get it but i took it like a trooper, and when this position for monetary came up i thought it was a great opportunity to get away from call center....i needed this change so bad.

    ive been missing days from work left and right because i sit in a chair for 8 hrs repeating myself over and over, for a while it was OK, but ive been on the floor for over a year and im ready to lose it, a monkey can do this job and its quite degrading for me because i know im much smarter than that., but the company is really starting to make me feel worthless. My interview for the monetary Sup went great, i even gave fresh ideas in my interview and was able to answer all the test questions about being a SUP intelligently with all my exp, when i explained to her i needed a change and was very interested in the department she even said how she was in a dept similiar to mine doing the same thing over and over and felt she was capable of much more and totally related to me.

    so i sat in my car crying my eyes out and called my BF and cried and cried and just sat there thinking what now?

    i might just have to bite the bullett and go back to school and juggle a FT job at the same time cause i cant afford not to, i would go for surgical tech and its a 2 year degree but with having to work FT it would prob take longer and the next few years would be so hard, in the end it would pay off, but i think at this point im starting to realize i need to do something.

    its just a real sad day, i really thought i had it, was hoping and praying id get it cause im so stressed in the dept im in idk how much longer i can last.

    I'm sorry. I know how frustrating it is when you feel like you work so hard and are not reaping the results. I know there isn't much I can say to make it better. Hang in there. I see you're in NE PA which is where I am and I know that "rewarding" jobs are certainly few and far between.

    Try to relax the rest of the day. Enjoy the sunshine.

        Yup, we're in Marshalls Creek. Moved here from NW NJ in 2003. The commute to work is just awful but as you know, there is nothing as far as work out here. If makes me said, too, to drive up and down Rte. 209 and see nothing but increasing numbers of "For Lease", "For Sale" or "Closed" signs. All of those people's dreams, vanished. I try to remember that I still have it pretty good as my husband has been in his job for over 12 years and has some hope of stability.

        We'll all get thru this and come out the other side, changed, but we'll get there!

          I understand that "spinning your wheels" feeling when it comes to work. I feel trapped myself. I'm getting too old for most of the complex construction jobs, and I'm competing against guys that are half my age and far stronger. So I get stuck with the grunt work or handyman jobs. Meanwhile the white collar world takes one look at me and thinks "yeah right". Even some of the corporate types in my business classes look at me like I'm a piece of dirt. Since when have we become a society that discourages advancement outside the box?

          You go to school! If I can do it, anybody can! People might think I look like a redneck, but it motivates me even more; strengthening my resolve; I'm moving full steam ahead, I might even apply to law school after I get my B.A. (this bankruptcy stuff has sparked an interest). Attending school does take time and resources, in fact the materials I needed (computer, etc.) have contibuted to taking on debt, but every little step I take puts me that much closer to my ultimate goal.

              Sorry to hear you didn't get the job you wanted. Try not to feel too down about yourself. The economy is so crappy these days that so many (myself included) cannot find a job. Good luck to you.

                I lost my dream job about 7 years ago, thought the interview went great, loved the place, the job, the people there, was sure I had nailed it! Went home ready to pack my bags, only to get a call later from the VP telling me how sorry he was, that he really liked me and thought I should get the job, but the dept chair thought I wasn't enthusiastic enough, of all things, when I was probably too bubbly if anything! So I know how you feel, I was totally in the dumps for months. But you know what? About 6 months later I applied for and got an even better job, and one that put me back in my home state 60 miles from where I grew up, so I could be close to all my family again! So now I have dream job in dream location! I know I would have bitten the head off of anyone who would have told me when I lost out on that 1st job that it might be for the best, that something better would come my way, because I was just so crushed, but you just never know... best of luck to you.

                  Do something nice for yourself. Take a break from thinking too much if you can.

                  I had a moment this evening that made me want to burst in anger/tears. I just try to let it go, though it's hard to do.

                  Things will turn around and somebody will see your wonderful talents.

                    I am sorry you didn't get this position you wanted so badly. But believe me, everything happens for a reason and if you just stay positive, something bigger and better will come your way, probably when you least expect it! I work for my local government and knew things were going to get ugly with the down economy and the resulting budget cuts. I applied for several positions in other departments for which I was more than qualified, and didn't get any of them. Then, just before my position was eliminated from the budget, I was actually promoted to a much better and higher paying position where I am still and where I am very, very happy. It was a total surprise!

                    Hang in there and stay positive. And as for school, take it one course at a time. Stop thinking of how long it would take you to get your degree or certificate, because then the task appears bigger than it really is. Just make up your mind that each semester or term, you'll take one or two courses, no matter what. Before you know it, you'll have reached your goal. It took me 4 years to get my Master's Degree while working full time and so many times I felt like quitting. But I used the one-course-at-a-time approach and somehow everything seemed easier.

                    Best of luck to you!

                          I'm so sorry you didn't get the position, but I believe (like you ) that everything happens for a reason and I'm SURE something better will come along...it just wasn't the right time right now. Hang in there!
