Oh, man, I am sorry. I would have guessed you'd be a shoo in. My only thought (and I say this as a manager who tries really hard to coach things in the most positive way I can) is that maybe they think there are more things you can handle on your own? Without calling for help? Although that's hard, because if you do too much on your own, you get in trouble too. So, I guess I'm sending you hugs. I wish you'd come work in my office. I would give you specific feedback and I know you'd be terrific with clients. Sigh. Hugs to you.

Shoot! I was hoping that even if you didn't get the HC position, then you would get full-time. But I would take their advice, and do everything in your power to ensure that when you DO have to call a manager, that it's just a quick formality.

Obviously, Norma really likes you, and that's a great thing! She knows a fabulous person when she sees one! With her in your corner, it's only a matter of time. Hugs!

I would have hired you. It may have to be just a matter of time. Blasted politics and policies. XOFifi

Aw, Shucks! You did deserved that job—the best person does NOT always get hired. Hope the full time thing happens soon for you. Hang in there!

Darn it! Sorry, hon. However, it does sound like there's nothing screwy going on like someone who gives the boss the best 'personal service' is picked over ones who actually do their jobs, it's more of a time in/experience thing, which is frustrating but not completely unfair. And sooner than you think YOU will be the one with the most time and experience and the next slot will be YOURS!!! Keep on with your good work ethic and faboo customer rapport, step it up a little with making decisions as the big manager suggested and your turn will come. Good luck, sweetie. ~LA

Their loss! Obviously you could have done the job, but if there are changes coming, maybe there is something coming up that will work for you. Sometimes things work out for a reason. You'll make it next round!

You deserved that spot! I'm so sorry you didn't get it this time, but next time...you're a shoo-in. Hang in there.

I am going to believe that it means something better is coming along. :)

I am so sorry for your disappointment my friend, but it is obvious that it will come in time. You just need to hang tough and get a handle on well.....handling things and you will move right on up. It's a great that the Manager told you what would help your situation in the future. That's always a good sign. It will happen!

That just means something better is on the horizon.

Awwwwww .. poop! You are doing all you can with the job you have now, so it's only a matter of time before it's your turn. Watch and learn is all you can do. Or maybe become a real bitch...heh...sometimes it pays to kick a little ass.

I'm sorry it didn't work out for you this time but the good news is that they do have their eyes on you and are giving you encouragement and suggestions on ways to become more efficient. I expect it won't be long for you. Just keep on doing what you do and soon....it will be what you wanted.

Did maybe the people that got the jobs go to the HC class?? It's just a matter of time until you get what you want!
