I don’t have the job. I just received the letter of rejection. I hate getting these letters, they all say the same thing. “Due to the overwhelming amount of applications we have received, we regret to tell you that you have been unsucessful at this time. Blah blah blah”. Why can’t they just be honest and tell you why you really were rejected? Oh yes, that would be too much like hard work right?
It would have been so much better if they got my name correct, but I suppose that is too much like hard work also. I am not a Miss, as I have clearly stated on my application form, CV and in the interview. It is Williamson, not Williams. Goes to show that some people just do not listen or take note. Bitter? Yes. More so because they couldn’t get a simple thing like my name right. Maybe I had a lucky escape?
Do people get your name incorrect? Does it annoy you? Do you find it unprofessional?

It looks like I haven’t got the job. I was supposed to be called yesterday. I waited all day for the call, too. I’m not too upset over it, though. I am keeping in mind something Arien told me: it may not have been the job for me. I stilll have an interview on Sunday for another job. Hopefully I am more successful with that one. I am going to keep positive, that is all I can do.
Somebody asked me why I won’t reveal what companies I have interviews for. There is a simple answer - privacy. I do not reveal where I work or where I have interviews. I have seen too many dodgy things happen to people who reveal too much about their work places. I can only trust my friends with this information so you will not see it here. I also respect the privacy of the companies I work for and their employees. If I ever do discuss my work, I will never reveal the company name or real names of my co-workers. It is just the way I go about things.
Are you a more private blogger? How much information do you reveal on the web? Are there things you will never discuss? If you’re not so private, why?
