I didn't get the job. :(

KelinandKevin

I know I shouldn't be upset and crying, but I didn't get that job I interviewed for last week.  Totally blows my mind.  It was the best interview I have ever had.  I really felt good about it. She told me I was an ideal candidate!!

Now I am beginning to wonder if I made the worst decision ever quitting my job.  I know my health is important...blah, blah blah,... but I have a feeling it's going to be a long, hard road and I may never find another job equivalent to what I had. 

I still haven't heard back from the unemployment department either.  My husband got laid off again yesterday.  I already started shots for IVF.  What are we going to do?  I feel like I just shot my life in the foot.  The thought of loosing my house makes me sick.  SICK!  I have never been in this situation before and it's all my fault.  I feel so irresponsible.

I know some of it could be the horomones but I am a hot mess right now.  FML!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kelin I am so sorry.  I really thought you had that job.  I wouldn't worry yet - I thought it was amazing that you got an interview so fast to begin with.  I'm sure more will pop up soon.  I know it's much easier said than done, but try not to stress too much.  Keep going with the IVF - you are so close to a baby now.  It may not seem like the ideal time, but really no time is ever perfect.  Everything will work out just hang in there and take it one day at a time.  We're here for you!!!  ((huge hugs))

Ah!  I thought for sure you would get that job!  I don't think you are irresponsible.  My DH was laid off for 8 months - 5 of those we were ttc.  People probably thought we were crazy, but I knew he would get a job again.  He did and I still have no baby.  You can't put your life on hold.  Things happen for a reason, so I hope you find an even better job or something else good happens for you.

I'm so sorry, hon.  I really thought this job was yours, too, and it sounds like you were such a wonderful fit.  It's awful to be blindsided by news like that. 

I agree with PPs - something will fall into place for you soon.  It may not be exactly what you thought it would be, but it will happen for you.  The fact that you got an interview so quickly speaks volumes as to your abilities and talents.  Someone will snatch you up soon.  I know it.

:::big hugs:::

I'm so sorry. I hope that you get another interview in no time. I'm sorry it didn't work out, you're in my T&P

jdeats71

Oh I'm so sorry you didn't get the job!

I agree with PP - keep moving forward with TTC.  Especially if you are in the IVF process now!  I hope something comes your way soon.

((((hugs))))

Breathe, sweetheart. Breathe.

You guys will be OK. This I know. We've been through it, and we've come out the other side just fine. Don't put your life on hold in the meantime...keep at it!

i'm really sorry.  losing a job can be so tough.  my DH got laid off last may and we've been struggling ever since.  he's been trying to start his own business and we are so tight on money it's not even funny. 

i really hope you get a great job and soon!!!!!!  GL!!!

I'm so sorry you didn't get the job.  But please don't feel like you're being stupid or irresponsible.  You made a rational and mature decision based upon all the factors, and things will work out in the end.  It's scary right now for sure, but you'll be ok.  

JuJuBe3

I'm so sorry about the job.  It sounded like a great opportunity.  I hope something else comes along soon.  I know all of the unknown is scary, but I think I'd keep going with the IVF.  It will all work out.  Big hugs.

I'm sorry, I hope something even better comes along. Hugs.

ShellShockedMama

Oh Kelin, I'm so sorry. Try to take a deep breath, you're not going to lose your house (and I work in bk and foreclosure, so I know a little about the industry)

You were NOT being irresponsible, you did something you had to do for your health, that's not irresponsible at all. 

I'm here for you aostroy at cfl.rr.com

Ugh.  Government jobs are so screwy and even if you where liked and the best candidate they HAVE to give it to someone who has been there/at the agency first.  It sucks.  Big time.  I am so sorry that you did not get it.  Life is just so unfair.

bbhalphen

Kelin, I'm so sorry!  I don't think you're irresponsible, you're doing what you need to do.  I will say a prayer that something better comes along soon for you and your DH.

They are effing morons for not hiring you Kelin. I'm sorry hon.

dondraandluis

Oh no! I'm so sorry Kelin. I thought you were going to get it. Something will come along soon. You will be in my T&Ps (((HUGS)))

KristysRedBarn

I'm so sorry Kelin.  We're going through some similar stuff and it's so very hard.  The job market is really really tough, but I trust you'll find something.

Sending big hugs your way. You will find another great job, I am so sorry you didn't get that job, the interview sounded like it went well. You guys will be fine, you aren't irresponsible. Your other job wasn't good for your health. Hopefully you hear about the unemployment soon.

PeetiePie

Colinda is right, they are morons for not hiring you.  Rejection sucks, I'm so sorry.  I hope there is an even better opportunity out there for you.  Chin up hon.

Hun I am so sorry.  My positive restructure to this would be that there is a better job waiting for you.  I would also use this time to relax while you are preparing for your retrieval and transfer so that your body is as stress free as possible.  This may not have been the case if you were still at your old job.  So take it as a positive that there are better things to come.  I know it is hard not to stress but you have each other, you are an intelligent beautiful woman, and you WILL find another job that will be even more perfect.

Stay strong...I'm here if you need me!
