Mar. 23rd, 2012 05:39 pmSo. What ended up happening this week is that I did manage to get to all my appointments, go see my employment coach for interview preparation, made a new appointment to see the doctor and get a sick note and got it sent off to the WDP, and managed to devote a decent portion of last night to research/interview preparation.
( The interview today )
But anyway, basically I didn't get the job. I asked the main women when I might hear from them, and she said probably Monday, but then she called a few hours ago and said someone hadn't turned up to their interview so she just had enough time to call up and tell people whether they'd got the job or not. And it wasn't me. I asked her for some feedback but she said she didn't have time today, and to call back next week when she could go into it more. But she said she'd need to see my file to give me proper feedback, so I'm guessing there weren't any glaring failures. Maybe I did really well, they just had someone else come in who was better at it, or who already worked at the company. Who knows.
So yeah. It's a bit of a let down, and it's a bit annoying that I went through all that stress this week and now it's just over and I didn't get it. But I would have probably been more annoyed with myself for not going, and at least it's good practise for interviews and stuff. And I was always sort of prepared for the fact that I only had a week to get ready for it, and I had a bunch of other stuff I needed to do this week, so I might not have been prepared as I'd like to be, and might not do that well. It's just a bit depressing. And I'm sort of annoyed about the mistake in the typing test and about being so nervous. But I had a reason for being nervous, and did the best I could, and it's done now anyway. I shall have to wait till next week to hear if any of those even were the reasons, or why I didn't get it if not.
Blah.
