being selected and narrowed down from 100 to 4 people to be told 20 minutes before interview to not come,as person who was leaving had changed her mind and wanted to stay,had other issues with the company that alarm bells were ringing very loudly so was never ideal really.

I really had my hopes on this job,could of changed my life as well as the dc's I realise its was not meant to be.

Aibu to now make the most of being with my dd before she goes to school,and hoping that my current job that I work for may be able to offer me a job in the future,there have been talks about it.

Im going to lose my child minder as well from July and I feel so peeved right now,things have been so bad this week I dont think it can get any worse right now,I can tell you, this is just the start of some of the problems Im dealing with.

If I said much more I would be reconised,please advice me I just feel so down right now,I should be grateful but feel so alone right now.

Take it as a good sign, you did the best you could and.came very close to getting this job. When the right opportunity comes along you will be ready.

I reckon you are well out of this one, to be honest. A company that messes prospective employees about like this screams 'Avoid!' to me. Loudly. Sometimes you just realise late in the day that a job is not right for me - happened to me halfway through an interview when I looked at the woman who would be my line manager and thought :'I really don't want you for a boss'. Thank goodness I didn't get the job, I'd have taken it against my better judgement.

Perhaps this is one of those situations when one door closes, another one opens. I hope it is. Meanwhile have a Brew.

Sounds like you had a lucky escape. What a rotten thing for them to do. At least you do get to enjoy your DD for longer. Something else will turn up Smile

Thank you for the replies,I know deep down it was for the best,I was so cross at the time, at least I get to be with my dd before she starts school.

I should be grateful for that ,some people dont have that privelage,I should count my blessings.

Don't just count your blessings. This happened because you deserve better and you will have it - just keep looking, enjoy your time with your DD and it will happen for you because you are strong and determined. You are making your own future, don't settle for being messed about second best.
