rejected!
More than a month after applying to a position that is as close to a 'dream-job' as I could think (besides being a co-host on The View), I finally got this email today:
Dear [justgotspaid],I am afraid that I have bad news regarding the Japan Study position. You may have gathered this by the absence of communication since your phone interview. The search was complicated by the departure of another staff member in the International Programs Office, which resulted in a delay in our decision while we discussed the relationship between these two positions.
We appreciate receiving your application, and I enjoyed talking about the position with you during the phone interview. Thank you for your patience and please accept our apologies for the tardiness of this e-mail.
Sincerely,
[the woman who interviewed me]Being a college-educated woman of North America, I should be either a) creating a family b) working hard on advancing my career, but ideally both, right?
What I am if I'm not doing either of those?
having fun?
wasting time?
?
At least I get an interview before being rejected these days. At least it is good to finally know. I've lived the past month not knowing where I would be living in November. Who wants to move to Indiana anyway?

now you are freed up to look for that job in chicago, so we can be friends IRL too
.
Seriously though, keep the faith, you will find something, I believe in you.
Do you still have your university stint (in the mean time inbetween time), or did that end last school year? =(
Sorry to hear this opportunity didn't fall through. That just means something better is out there for you. Hang in there!
@Saferia - @Rveblade - Thanks for the support! Yes, I still have my current job in the meantime... I just think of it as a job and not career, you know? Anyway, back on the horse!
to me that email doesnt say anything. doesnt say you got it but doesnt say you didnt either. so maybe its better you wont be working with a woman who cant get to the point. and by the way i got rejected for a job after an almost four month wait! dont let em get you down! i love you!!!!
@ThirtyAndPurdy - OMG a 4 month wait!!!! Ridiculous. That must have been at the a university. Most U's (here included) are terribly slow with hiring. It is unbelievable. Hang in there. Yeah.... now that it getting to be a little cold here, I am SO glad not to be moving up north.
