Reflections on the day after

I am beginning to get over the disappointment of being turned down by G. Yesterday was exactly the two month anniversary when I was first contacted.

Looking back, the whole process took much longer than expected and left me more than a little dissappointed. I had two phone interviews, followed by two rounds of on-campus interviews. The second on-campus interview took the longest time to be scheduled. After the initial contact, it took the recruiter two weeks to schedule it. I didn't hear back from them for a further two weeks until last Thursday evening, when they asked me to come back for another round of interviews the next day. Looking back, I guess they were undecided about me, and the two folks I met probably cast the deciding vote.

But I feel like they set me up for failure, especially with that hastily arranged third round of interviews. I wish I had stood my ground and asked them to schedule them this week.

This is all water under the bridge. It's time to concentrate my energies on new opportunities.
