Well, I think I have my answer on that part time purchasing position.... they must have filled the job...because I just got the return receipt from the HR person that said "deleted- not read" so basically I was just given the virtual middle finger! What I cannot understand is WHY I couldn't get a response back from them at all? Is there no more professional courtesy out there? Is it that difficult to say..."Thank you for your interest, but the position has been filled."??
I am so angry about this right now, and I know I probably should just blow it off, but I SWEAR this keeps happening over and over again with these companies...I mean for Pete's sake they had me interview with them, so I had personal contact with these people- the correct thing would be to let me know the status of the position!!!
I can't believe that it was erased without even being read...that is the ultimate insult!!! I bet this lady reads all her emails in the preview pane... She had to have seen it and known... or maybe she just didn't recognize my email address and ust deleted it..but that would be DUMB considering that she had emailed me originally to give me the interview information. Any way you look at this, it is RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL.
I pray to GOD that this economy picks up soon...employers need to be put on notice that a recession is not an excuse to treat workers so badly. They get away with it because there is such desperation to find and keep jobs that no one will do anything about this type of treatment.
I continue my fruitless search for gainful employment and keep praying for something to happen for me. I have to put my trust in God that all things happen for a reason and his plan will be revealed in time.
My rant is over for now... praying for a better day today.
That's it and that's all for now!!!

6 months already???
I can't believe that my baby boy turned 6 months old last week on the 6th...I have been too busy with him to post anything...he's very active and wants 100% of my attention at all times...he's so much like his father it's not even funny...
He's rolling over all over the place these days...and he is eating cereal and fruit, grabbing and picking up toys and today starting HITTING me...lol...out of nowhere while he was nursing today, his left arm just started hitting my boob as he was eating...I was like..what the hell is this??? LOL...I guess he's learning how to use his appendages. He tries to get up on his knees now..and he sleeps on his belly. It's amazing how he likes to be on his tummy now, a couple of months ago he hated it and I had to force tummy time on him. Go figure... babies are amazing. That's all I can say about that.
Well, it's been over a month since I interviewed for that part time job, and I haven't heard a peep back from them at all! I did everything that you are supposed to do for follow up: I sent a thank you note the next day after the interview (sent on 7/8), I sent an email following up on some information that the guy wanted (sent on 7/10) and left a voice mail message on his phone ( on 7/31.) I marked the email return receipt, and I never got the receipt back, so I am assuming that it was deleted without being read. Today I decided to contact the HR person at that company to see if I could get some sort of response, I emailed her with a return receipt and so far nothing. I don't understand what happened here...the day I interviewed, the guy acted like he was ready to hire me on the spot..and made it sound like I would be hearing from them as soon as he returned from the 3 week long business trip to China. I had SUCH a good feeling about this job and I am so confused why I can't even get an update from them on the status of the position. If they hired someone, couldn't they at least give me the courtesy of a response to my inquiry? It makes no sense, and it makes an even worse impression. It makes me think twice about this company... if they treat you this way as an applicant, how to they treat the employees?
I guess I should adopt the attitude that if it was the right thing for me, it would have come through...but I at least would appreciate some feedback from them as to why I wasn't the right fit for them so I can fine tune my presentation at my next interview. That would be professional courtesy.
So, here goes again...I continue to look and pray that the right thing is there for me that I seek...
Keep your fingers crossed! That's it and that's all for now!!
