nohaniiOn Monday, July 27th, I lost my job with LARC. The class I was assigned to tutor was dropped due to UC budget cuts, and there were no other positions available. Plain and simple. Since then, I have applied to no less than 15 vet clinics in just a few weeks. I earned three interviews. Two were weeks ago, and I haven't heard back. The third I had last Friday. I just got a letter from the interviewer today:
"September 8, 2009
Dear Catherine:
Thank you for applying for the position of Veterinary Assistant.
We were fortunate to receive a number of applications from highly qualified individuals. Our decision, which was difficult, has been made and the position has now been filled.
We will retain your application for six months in the event a similar position becomes available. Please accept our regrets and best wishes for success in your job search.
Sincerely,
Lisa
Hospital Administrator"
Below this is a hand-written note:
"Catherine,
Really enjoyed meeting you. We wish you much success.
Lisa"
I think the note makes it worse. Like, "we really liked you, but you lose"
I don't get it. I did everything right. I was dressed nicely I was polite and courteous. I asked questions. I was interested. I did my homework before the interview. I even had a high-ranking person with the California Veterinary Medical Association recommend me. So why didn't I get the job??
To make matters worse, I applied for Unemployment nearly a month ago. I've filled out form after form, posted my resume online, and done online job searches through their websit since then, and I still haven't seen a single penny. Today, I received a REEMPLOYMENT AND ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT APPOINTMENT NOTICE (didn't anyone ever tell these people that CAPSTALK is annoying and rude?) telling me that I've been assigned an interview on September 24 to determine whether or not I'm actually entitled to the money that I'm entitled to. Srsly, ppl? I had a job. I earned money. I paid the taxes that I was required to pay. Now that I'm out of work and need this service, I get the run around. Stupid red tape crap.
Today has been so full of lose.
