Good morning!
First thing’s first. Because I try to be pretty honest on here, I’ll just keep everyone up to date – I got a rejection email (email? seriously? not even a letter or a phone call?) last night from the interview/ skills assessments I had last Thursday. In the spirit of honesty, I’ll admit that it got me pretty down. I thought for sure I’d be called at least for a second interview, but no dice. Despite being confident that I gave my all in my interview yesterday, this other rejection email threw me off and I started doubting myself and my chances at getting the job. Especially because I want this job. Basically, the negativity was flowin’ up in herrrre.
Now is not the time for a long post on negativity, battling depression, and the such (although I’m thinking of delving into it in some later posts). By the end of the night, I did feel better. All I can do about yesterday’s interview is hope and pray I get called with a job offer on Friday. In the meantime, I can actively pursue other avenues by continuing my job search and application process.
Ok, enough with that seriousness!
Because of variables (some mentioned above, stress, worry, lack of sleep, off appetite, etc.), my tummy was feeling no bueno this morning. When it calmed down I had a little oats and OJ!
- 1/4 cup each: oats, light vanilla soymilk, water
- toppings!
raw almond butter, freeze-dried strawberries, shredded unsweetened RF coconut, ground flax, goji berries, pepitas (raw pumpkin seeds)
The colorful combo! (Just a splash of OJ – Ross is the big OJ drinker and I didn’t want to kill off his stash!)
To keep up the positive spirits I have several things to keep me busy today:
- workout
- research new health insurance/ compare costs
- work on new site (!!)
- apply for more jobs!
See you later! 
They don't know what they're missing!! Keep being proactive and I have a feeling you'll be overwhelmed by job offers all at once
sorry about the bad news
I know another door will open for you, so good luck with your to-do's!! Love u!!
I'm sorry about the email – don't dwell on it too much. YOU gave your best, it was out of your hands after that! Hang in there and the right opportunity will come knockin'
When I was looking for a job I got rejected for quite a few jobs but the one I did end up getting I LOVED! At the risk of sounding cliche – Everything happens for a reason.. Hang in there!
Ugh, I've gotten one of those emails before too. It's like – can't you have the decency to just CALL me and tell me I didn't get it? That way I can ask you why??? Anyways, don't let it get you too down – other opps are just around the corner, I'm sure
Rejection stinks. It's tough to hear but don't stress because everything happens for a reason. I bet you anything another job is waiting around the corner!
Remember sweet-ums…That when God closes one door, He opens another. He has big plans for you. So it's not that job. So what? He has something picked out for you already, and it's probably something even BETTER! I know it's hard, but be patient. This WILL all happen in His perfect time. He's got you tightly in His grip, girl! No worries! Aren't we supposed to give all our stress, worries, and concerns over to Him?? Let Him handle it, He can see the bigger picture anyway! Love YOU!
Well, that is their loss! You are awesome and have so much to offer this world. I have faith you will be able to share all of your greatness with a worthy employer soon!
I am praying for you about the other interview you just had.
Sorry about the job, I can't believe they didn't even call you and just sent an email instead!! It probably doesn't help to hear this, but I tell myself pretty much every day that everything happens for a reason. So the reason for this must just be that there's an even better opportunity out there for you. Hope you had a good day.
Sorry to hear about the job
Keep your head up, we're all here with ya! I know you will get something wonderful soon. The oats look yummy. I love freeze dried fruit! I bet its fabulous in oats
Hang in there!! Don't doubt yourself- you never know what's going on behind the scenes! There's a great opportunity out there for you
Aww, Lindsey, I am truly sorry that this didn't work out. But you know what, I am such a full beleiver that EVERYTHING happens for a more purposeful meaning. I remember when I was applying for jobs right out of college. I wanted this marketing position so badly and came SOOOO close to getting it too. (It was between me and another guy and they ended up picking him) I was devestated but then I quickly landed the job I am doing now. TO make a long story short, the guy in the marketing job was a total goof and he absolutely couldn't cut it. The job SUCKED and he left the company crying. I landed my dream job and love going to work each day. So, you see, better things are in store for you girly, I promise!
Hang in there, beautiful lady! I truly believe that EVERYthing happens for a reason, so undoubtedly a job wayyyy better than that one will turn up in your future.
I'm really sorry Linds, I know how hard this has been. But know we love you and are rooting for you. God is in control and has a crazy awesome plan. It's all about HIS timing. Oy..hard lesson to learn :-/ love you and call me if you want to talk!
Aww, love. I'm so sorry about the bad news. I know rejection is a terrible feeling, but try to keep your chin up. It was their loss! e others said, everything happens for a reason. I'm sure another even better opportunity will pop up. Don't give up, sweetie!
