Today I've been the happiest I can remember for a very long time.
First thing in the morning, I got the call that I had expected all week and it went exactly as I had expected.
I got the job, but I didn't get the job and that is perfectly ok with me.
The short version is that, basically this was almost the ideal job that I was looking for, working for a large-ish organisation, in the learning & development section, with the opportunity to become of the trainers in the future, free attendances at the training sessions, great small team, working with what seemed like really genuinely nice and fun people - BUT - they just couldn't afford me. Bugger....
Oh well, like I said to a friend, the big dude upstairs must have bigger and better plans for me.... he better damn well have better plans for me! I've been waiting an awful long time, this is the 3rd job that I've turned down in the last 6 months.
Either I'm too picky or I just don't want to leave where I am now... and truth be told, what I have now is a pretty darn good job, I just don't think that it's the right job for me. If you've been in my position, you will know that it's really difficult to leave a good job in a great organisation for something that you're unsure of or feel a little 'iffy' about.
My hopes are up, having somebody tell you that you are 'by far the best candidate' gives you that nice tingly feeling and I'm on a high! And my birthday is in a few weeks so I hope this high lasts until then :)
