Scratch that job

Twelve essay questions, my answers to which they loved, and one very good interview later…

…I didn’t score the semi-final interview, the final interview (or the swimsuit competition, for that matter). It was “we love this guy” followed by “he’s not what we’re looking for.”

I don’t mind getting turned down so much as getting turned down after putting in all the work to answer those questions.

For the technical and the curious, I’ve posted in the questions in my other blog.
