Very few words to spare.
I just spend some time composing an email to the employer that informed me my application was unsuccessful. I getting sick and tired of these ‘your skills and experiences are very impressive, but you still suck’ emails from employers; when they bother sending them to you. I have not sent it yet as I need Lizzie to proof read, as I tend to be very honest when I am slightly unhappy with something; and in general. If I do not get a reply within a week I might just visit them and see them try to make up an excuse why they have not replied back to me and why they are not willing to talk to me.
That is correct, I am now at war with Aussie employers. I am sick and tired being without a job when I know I would, saying this with great confidence, have a job in Western Europe within a month if I went back there now.
That is all I have to say tonight.
Now I am going to enjoy the rain with a nice cuppa.
Wow! That’s exactly what I feel.
I’ve given up answering them back when I get such emails. I had a very bad time when I heard a lot of “no’s”, and I was letting that affect me. I know I’m good at what I do, but I still need to be given a chance, but unfortunately, things are not working out so well.
Because of that, and my continuous search for more than 2 years, I have established a dead line. I’ll search for a Linux job until the end of this year, and, if by then, I still don’t have it, I’ll forget IT completely.
Too many hours lost trying to please fucktards in suits that heard “Linux pays well”. Too many hours lost in interviews with someone that knows less than my parents. Too many hours lost smiling at interviewers when just wanted to stab them in the face.
So, I guess I still have 10 months …
Sorry for the long comment! :)
@foo
Sorry for the delayed approval of your comment. WP did not like the email you provided. I think it is flagged by default.
Good comment, and I think it is safe to say I know how you feel. :)
An old colleague of mine said something about IT, but can probably be transferred to any type of job at the moment:
“Employers want someone who is 20 years old, 40 years of experience and have 10 different university degrees.”
