Ok the last two year have been hell:
1. No steady job
2. Temp jobs with no benefits
3. Lower salary
4. Last 10 months 100 mile round trip commute (hybrid 2-3 x week) temp assignment which is very vague when it’s going away (comp is fine for the commute- I’m in accounting). So I’ve been looking for something close to home permanent and with benefits for months
5. Today i get an email for an interview that job order is on hold
6. Last week got an email after a first interview “thank you but we’ve moved on”
7. July-Aug w/one company went the full interview rounds then got ghosted. 6 weeks later “oh sorry,not interested”.
8. Aug – went through the full interview process. I disclosed my salary requirements up front as it was over their budget & they continued interviewing me. They were in a mad rush to get references – those came back great. “Sorry we can’t afford it in s budget “. Mother fucker i told you my salary requirements 2 interviews in!!!
So depressing. So let’s see how many cancellations/ rejections since July (90 days? 4 🙁
