Win Some, Lose Some
Jul. 10th, 2021 11:34 amI was surprised to receive email from the hiring manager today, since she had said the company is generally M-F. Unfortunately it was a canned rejection, if one of the kinder ones I've received.
I'm a little confused, though. I had applied and interviewed for an Executive Assistant position. After the first interview she said there was possibly a job with a better fit; remote Tech Support, and my second interview was for that position.
The rejection letter mentioned "position" singular, and not what the position was. I sent a reply thanking her for the notification but asking to clarify whether it was for the Executive Assistant, the Tech Support, or both positions. I'm waiting to hear back from her.
For now I'm going with the rejection being for the Executive Assistant position, since that was the one I applied for initially. I understand that it could possibly be for the Tech Support position because there may have been a tacit understanding that I missed that I was already no longer in the running when I interviewed for the Tech Support position.
Until I hear definitely about whether the rejection was for one, the other, or both, I'm going to pretend that I still have a chance. I'm not letting my hopes get too high, just not giving up completely on the idea. I am glad that I sent out some more applications this morning at least.
