Colorado, from a New Yorker's point of view

We really like you, but we like someone else more

by Mr. New to Denver on Feb.05, 2010, under Job Hunting

I had an interview last week and I thought it went very well.  The company wanted to hire four temps, and supposedly they had the funding to make a couple of those temps permanent headcount.  For the last week I’ve been thinking to myself “how could I get rejected?  Getting rejected would mean that there are four better qualified or better connected people out there.  No way.”

As it turns out the division lost some funding and can only hire one person.  They opted to go with a candidate that had 15 years of industry experience.  I’ve bounced around between three different industries in my career.  I’ve beginning to realize this is going to hurt me.  If I am going to do the whole corporate America career changing industries repeatedly will hurt me.  Of course with the job market the way it is I’ll settle for any industry, which will only make things harder for me in a few years when I look for yet another job.
