I think it is official. I should just rename this blog "Ways I Suck at Life". I had another job interview today. Guess what? I didn't get it. Again. I interviewed at a school that I had interviewed at previously, and did well in. Well, turns out I suck even more this year because I wasn't called for a second interview. Nope, I was emailed:
Good Afternoon,
I tried to phone, but must have missed you when I was making my calls. I wanted to let you know you did a very nice job interviewing today, but we have decided to go in a different direction at this time. I do want you to know you were one of the top candidates for this position as you gave a fine interview. Thank you so much for your interest in the **** Central School and I wish you the best of luck in your search.
Sincerely,
Guy Who Isn't Offering You a Job
Then, I emailed back asking for feedback and just got (like literally as I am writing this post) this response:
Good Afternoon Sabrina,
Your interview went well. Your answers demonstrated your knowledge and years of experience, but the committee didn’t “connect with you”. I think what was meant by this was that we saw a very level, soft-spoken personality, but unfortunately we didn’t get to see your excitement and passion for teaching and learning. If I was to recommend something, I would tell you to think about what drove you to be a teacher…probably the love of children or the excitement of teaching/learning, and find a way in the interview to let that excitement and passion stand out.
Thank you again for your interest in ****
Guy Who Will Never Email You Again
Why can't I land a job? I mean, what is it about me that makes people like me, but not enough to hire me....I don't know, but I am going to mull it over with a wine slushie or seven.
