[Rhodes22-list] The 1st Shoe Has Dropped

[Peter Thorn]

Roger,

It certainly seems that life is testing you.  I'm sure you know know that
you have many friends and supporters on this list, but it feels like it
doesn't hurt to remind you now.  Someplace there's an outfit that really
needs your abilities.  Hang in there buddy.

Hi Everyone,

Yesterday was not a good day.  I received a letter of rejection from Broin &
Associates, Inc. in Sious Falls, SD.  The letter was completely generic and
gave no explanation of why they choose their preferred candidate for the
Technical Manager position at the Michigan Ethanol plant in Caro, MI over
me.

Although disappointing, this news was not unexpected.  Both Broin & MRI have
gone silent for the last couple of weeks.  There was supposed to be a
decision from both companies by the end of January regarding who they were
going to make job offers to.  Last week, when Feb 1st came & went, I tried
calling and e-mailing my contacts in both companies with no response.  My
suspicion is that they've both made job offers to another candidate.  They
were both just stringing me along with the silent treatment until their
preferred candidate responds.

Oh well, maybe I'm reading the tea leaves wrong and MRI will still make a
job offer.

Sigh, back to job searching.
