[QUOTE="Ogre Mage, post: 2034599, member: 3404"] I'm really sorry, Ranger Wickett. I know what it's like to think that you did well at an interview for a job you really want and then not get it. Course, I also know what it like to have a "disaster" interview and KNOW I didn't get it LOL. I work in a library. After I graduated, it took me 6 months to find a job and many job applications. I just had to keep trying. It's frustrating to come so close and not get it, but the fact that you made the final cut suggests you could be in the running in the future. Was the position for the Atlanta Public Library System? If so, you now have a friend working in the system. You could ask her to let you know if she hears about any future openings. Maybe she even could offer you some tips once she becomes familiar with the system. The fact that they didn't send you a rejection letter is a "red flag," though. If it happens the next time, I would look elsewhere. You're smart to keep the grocery job, even if it isn't ideal. Looking for a job while currently employed puts you in a stronger position than being unemployed. Good luck and I hope things get better, Ogre Mage [/QUOTE]
