Shot down…
*sigh*
Looks like I’ve been shot down for the Iraq job. I really really wanted this position. The company was great and did neat stuff that I found extremely interesting. I seemed to get along with everyone and I _know_ I can do the job as it was described to me.
I got an email saying that they ‘…liked the way that you came across as an engineering professional…’ but they ‘…had concerns regarding your strength in certain areas…’. I am still a possible candidate according to them but they say they will continue to look at other candidates. I’ll keep my fingers crossed but I’ve been here before and callbacks are usually unlikely.
I felt I was a perfect fit for the job and don’t know where I was lacking. I believe I could do the job and looked forward to the challenges it would provide and the difference I could make in a growing company. I’d like to find out where they thought I was lacking so I can improve myself for the future.
edit: I even cut my hair for this interview. 🙂 I was growing it out again after stupidly cutting it last year. Now I’ve got to start from scratch again.
