Even though I don't know what you interviewed for, having been on the
receiving end of your beautiful, sincere, in depth, comments I know that
Summer brings to this time and place tremendous value. 'They' don't know
that ... yet...
I have interviewed many many candidates for jobs, and have declined many.
Some of the declines, I have eventually hired - because the candidates HELPED
me get to know who they really were. Their honesty, sincerity, and
qualifications, and experience became known to me. Candidates,
continued to 'contact' me, to schedule follow up interview(s), to check in
for open positions, who I began to regret for not hiring, eventually (not
all) were hired...why? Interviews are not fully telling (There have been
many hired - based upon MY SOUND judgement that I have regretted hiring. Interviewers make errors in judgement too, and perhaps you, in your compassionate
way will help inform them of such. If you don't eventually get the position, then there is a reason that
you did not - not because of you, but because of time, place, circumstance,
and your destiny. This decline provides you with an opportunity and experience to become
more aware of your self and for those around you to become more aware of
you. I declined a candidate, who followed up, remained consistent in their desire
to work at the company, who I eventually hired, that turned out to be the
most successful hire I made in my life for the company...am I GLAD they
were kind enough, and professional to help my see the error of my judgment. Being so tough on yourself is so painful, so painful - wish I could hold
you and share your feelings with you. We are tough on ourselves, I believe
because of how approval, acknowledgement of who we are is so important,
emotionally important to us. Plans, desires goals are just that, always
subject to change, shifts, moves. Summer - you are one step closer to the job you are destined. With affection and compassion Sam
