Lost my job today.....
Sorry, this isn't something that I wanted to advertise, but I guess I'm looking for the support.
Feeling pretty devastated to say the least. I was in the running for two open positions within the department I was working and I wasn't even considered for either. There was a lower support Technician position and a Coordinator position. The Technician position was basically what I had been doing now, as a temp which is why I don't understand why they passed me over. The Coordinator position required more supervisory experience which I didn't have because I've been laid off so many times from so many different places that I haven't been able to stay long enough to gain that experience. I started there as an intern in that department in July, and because a staff member left was able to score the temporary job until now. When I first started the temp job, my boss left for vacation and with only two days of training I had to manage the office by myself. I just don't understand how after working three months there and showing and saying that I wanted to be there and help their mission that they all of a sudden didn't need me. I literally could have up and left after that first week if I wanted to and didn't give a crap, but no I stayed and now after all this time I'm getting the shaft. It was with an organization that I really liked and wanted to work for in the long term. I just can't believe I got passed over when I already had the experience working their previously.

I am so sorry to hear that SadAngel. It's strange that your name is your current situation, but you have skills now from your current job and that will help you. All the past jobs you have are part of your education for the future, too. (And I gotta say you've got incredible camera skills that everyone on The Ledge can swear by!!!) I hope it won't be long until you have some good news coming your way again. Maybe they will even call you back once they realize "what they had . . . and what they lost". Good luck on the future.

Sorry to hear that. I've lost jobs before; I know the feeling. I believe things happen for a reason. You'll get another job, maybe even better than the last one.

I'm really sorry to hear this, Sad Angel. I truly am. I've been in your shoes so I can understand how you're feeling right now. I think many of us here have probably been there and can relate to how something like this makes you feel.
As Tango said, you have even more experience now to bring to the table for your next job making you even more attractive to the company you next seek employment from. Keep your head up and keep a positive attitude. It might take a few days, weeks or even months but you will find the perfect job. One that will make you happy and that you will truly enjoy getting up and going into every day. Use this as a learning experience and never give up hope that there is something better right around the next corner for you.
