[Rhodes22-list] The 2nd Shoe Has Dropped

[Roger Pihlaja]

Hi Everybody,

MRI in Kansas City, MO has informed me that I didn't get the Aerosol Engineering Section Manager position.  MRI did not call or write a letter of rejection themselves.  Instead, probably as a result of some e-mails and telephone messages I'd left with my contacts at MRI after a month of silence, they sent the message via the original recruiter who put me in contact with MRI last December.  The recruiter left me a telephone message today, which I listened to after a day of substitute teaching.  The message was short, completely generic, and gave no details regarding why I was not selected.

It seems if I hadn't kept pestering MRI, they weren't even going to let me know one way or the other what had happened.  Boy, the rules of the game have certainly gotten rude and crude since the 1st time I graduated college back in 1976.

Oh well, back to square one on job searching.

Sigh, I hope everyone had a better day than I did. :-(
