It was announced at work that they were opening up a temporary Projectionist position while one of the Projectionists took 8 weeks off for maternity leave.
So naturally I applied.
It was super informal and the interview was more like a chat with the Projection Manager, which was totally cool because I get along with him great.
It seems that I hyped myself up a bit to much though.
I thought I new everyone who had applied, and out of them all I pretty much figured I had the best chance.
However I did not get the position. A Box employee just jumped out of nowhere like a Job Stealing Ninja and got the position, I didn't even know he had applied.
And I have a hard time feeling mad about the whole situation, because he's totally cool and he totally deserves the position.
However I think that the thing that pushed me over the edge on this one, is when the Projection Manager pulled me aside and told me that it was really hard for them to pick between me and him. Basically he told me I was second choice.
My issue with this is the fact that This is the third time I've been told I was Second Choice for a position I really wanted at this company.
It's really got me annoyed.
Sadly I'm looking for a new job more than ever before.
