Experience, my ass!

Okay, so first of all I thought long and hard about the insertion of that comma in the title of this post because I don't necessarily want you guys to experience my actual rear end, only to experience my frustration at the employment market.

I interviewed last week for a teller position at Sun Trust Bank. A job that I'm confident I could perform with flying colors. I felt really good about my interview, and really thought that I could actually have a job before I lose my job at The Sharper Image on May 24 (I realize this is still possible). Anywho, as you may have guess already, this morning at 9am I received a phone call from Sun Trust informing me that I did not get the job. They said that my interview went excellently, but that ultimately they had to give the job to an applicant with banking experience. Experience, my ass!! I have a degree from a top 5 university. I am a minority (I hang on to this whenever I can), and how can I ever gain experience if I'm never given an opportunity!? Obviously, I'm frustrated. They told me I was their second choice. That's supposed to make me feel better. I can't decide whether it does or not. It doesn't change the fact I didn't get the job.

Okay, I'm done...not with life. Don't worry. I'm not that discouraged. I'm just done with this angry post. It's Friday, and you guys should be happy and looking forward to the weekend. I'll be working, like always. Have enough fun for me!

Yamanda, I hope you stop itching.
