 I didn't get the job
After three interviews, the verdict is that I do NOT get the job.

Somehow I'm not torn.  I will never again apply for a position that does not outline a salary range in the job ad.  What a waste of time to go back and forth three times.

I suppose it's not time for me yet .  I will keep trying.  I'm sure something will come someday.

What I learned from this experience:

  • that getting three interviews doesn't mean you get the job
  • I have sharpened my interview skills
  • I am less nervous in front of interviewers/HR personnel, etc.
  • I will not apply for jobs that I don't know how much the job pays
  • I will ask for a description of the interview process (meaning will it be 1, 2, 3, 7 interviews? and with how many people)
  • I have learned that I don't have as much patience as I thought I did!  I got very fed up with this process.
  • I have learned that I need to improve my communication skills.  I am totally qualified but for some reason I'm not projecting that in my interviews.
  • I have learned to appreciate my current job a little more.
  • that you want something really bad, doesn't mean you're going to get it.
  • that I tried my very best and that is all I can do
  • that this will not hold me down and that I can do whatever I want to do in life if I give it my all!

    I think next, I will take a communications certificate.  For personal and professional growth.

    Goodness... I'm so hard on myself.
