Seems all the waiting and the sending in of resumés etcetera didn’t pay off … Being patient did nothing but allow a “beloved” employee who has applied for the job … So, my “buddy” has informed me, and this just makes everything look bleak as far as the pending job goes … But he has hopes that they will still interview me as his job may be available soon … He is applying for another job within the company … I don’t know about you, but a job that sits dormant for almost 3 months that there was interest in isn’t filled, makes you wonder about their priorities and then someone (who has obviously quit or moved on before) just jumps right in. It makes you think that there was no desires to get outside inquiries at all … I have heard that there are companies that actually run ads for job openings that the job opening has already been filled by someone within the company or a friend of a friend (which is what I thought I was doing) … but there is some sort of reason that they have to run the ad … I don’t know what, but it’s something that I’ve heard that I am probably not explaining properly … Oh well … I shall keep on keeping on …
