I found out I didn’t get an internal role yesterday. I’m gutted. I was told my interview was excellent but there was someone else who scored a few points more.
This was essentially ‘a role extension’ in that I’d still be doing the role in now but would have responsibility for training 2 days a week, taking me to full time hours. I have lots of experience in this so was really shocked not to get it. Without being outing I think a lot of it comes down to money it’s complicated but the role was freelance rather than permanent.
Someone on the interview panel has offered to give me detailed feedback but she’s not back from leave for more than a week.
I’ve put so much info work over the last year while we’ve been short staffed due to budget cuts. I’ve done loads of overtime, working on non working days, covering sickness, attending training in my own time and it’s affected my physical and mental health. It’s already quite an emotionally challenging job anyway. I feel like it’s just expected I’ll pick up the slack now.
This role was the next step for me in terms of progression. I’m at a loss of what to do now.
I’m already looking for other jobs. My motivation is at all low work wise now.
Something about not getting an internal feels embarrassing too.
How did you get over not getting a job you really wanted?
You can tell me to get a grip!
