an age old lesson, that I should know by now... but can't seem to ingrain.
I made the mistake of leting my naive excitement get the better of me, and I let people into it, as if it were all real! Only to then have to humble myself, in sharing the reality of it all. *ho hum*
The long & the short of it all, I had another one of those spectacular interview experiences... and even a call back, that resulted in what I thought was another great session of meet & greets, Q&As, & hashing of possible details. Alas, even though I was assured, "I'll see you later!" as I walked out the door, I got the call early this evening: noting they don't presently have a position for me.
Sure, there's the hope of future unknown options... and my original interviewer was obviously impressed/interested (however he's now taking on a new position within the company.) So, perhaps, it's simply not my time. Perhaps my place is elsewhere. Yet, still, I can't fight this nagging notion that I'm missing a huge piece of the puzzle in this apparently repeated scenario.
Am I really that bad at reading people? What am I doing wrong? How is it that I can be as awesome, capable, and talented as I am, yet remain un-officially-employed? *cofused, for sure*
