Some kinda shit

Here I was getting all excited about a possible interview................

until I received an email saying they filled the position.

WTF????????

I received the email saying they wanted an interview (well why couldn't they freakin call me?) Wednesday night at like 6pm.

I didn't get my email until this morning (Friday) (as I said, I don't have much access, but I may just get dial up so I can check my emails on a daily basis!)

So I called and left a message since the woman didn't answer. Hell yea I want an interview!! (I didn't say that)

Then I get an email 15 minutes after I called her telling me it was filled.

WTF??????????

I am now so damn bummed. I want out of this job so bad I can taste it, but I don't want to leave that badly to not have another job waiting. I haven't ever done that and I don't want to. I did drop off a resume/application with the county for a position. I had to bust my ass because the deadline was only between February 14 through 19, and with two days being a weekend that didn't give me much time. Especially since I didn't see the opening until the 18th. I delivered my application........but I hate the wait. I feel the short time to submit might mean they have someone in mind already but had to post it to the public.

I did call the Personnel office to see about the "status of my application." I don't know if I should even bother calling on such things, I know how the county works, slow as molasses but also they won't call you if they don't like the application. But should I call and bug them? I really want this job. It's a secretarial position in the District Attorney's office. Opposite direction of traffic. Not too far away at all. I am debating on whether I should call the District Attorney's office directly.

My problem is, I don't like the way my resume reads. I have my current job listed first of course but I don't do administrative stuff here and that's what I"ve been applying for since it will be harder for me to get some sort of photography job (although apparently I was SO CLOSE with that one job above, it was with a portrait studio, that really irks me, anyway). SO it looks like I don't have administrative skills if they glance at my current job. When in fact I have excellent skills and would like to work in that field still at least until I figure out all this photography stuff. I am in the process of reworking my resume but I'm having a blockage. I don't know if it's 'right'. I'll see what my career counselor says at the school. I am to combine both my "art resume" and my "admin resume" because I have skills that are great for both, and I do want a studio job, but don't have experience so I have to push my transferable skills. Man this is a chore.

Well, I'll make a call to the DA's office on Monday. Worse thing that can happen I guess is they put a restraining order out on me for harassing the office! But I want that job.
