Hey guys,
I was laid off in May, I've been doing some casual job searching for these last few months.
Out of nowhere, a Big Media / Entertainment Company gave me an interview offer. I was ecstatic, told all of my friends and family, did a ton of research, and after a bit of anxiety, I went into the call, eager and determined to finally land that position.
The guy calls me 30 minutes early, and was yawning the entire time. He couldn't have been less interested in the call, and had 2-word answers for all of my questions. He was strangely combative, for no apparent reason, and asked me questions that he'd know the answer to if he just read my resume.
Later he told me his calendar gave him the wrong information for the time of our call and couldn't even take accountability for his mistake.
The call ended after 22 minutes and the very next business day, I got a rejection first thing in the morning.
I'm…sort of numb…..thought I'd care more about losing a “Dream Gig” but life seems to be so full of failure. You always seem like you give more than you get.
