It still stings...

I just got my first formal rejection in my job hunt today.  The email from the guy at Rockwell was short and not-so-sweet:  "No interest here.  Apologies."  In my job search, I've had a couple of dead ends, but this was the first time a company with my resume actually said "No".


Even though I wasn't particularly passionate about working for Rockwell, it still stings.  I haven't had a job rejection since my first job out of college.  Any job I've applied for in the last 15 years, I've gotten. 


On the somewhat bright side, I have a potential connection at Harley-Davidson.  Now there is a place I'd really like to work.  Keep your fingers crossed for me...

I call them PFO letters (please Eff off). It hurts but I love em, cause it forces you to get tougher.\r \r I really hope you get hte job at Harley. I've heard that they are a really top notch company.

Don't sweat it too much - the job probably went to someone's buddy or someone internal to the company. They probably had someone picked out before you even got to throw your name in the hat. Hopefully the HD thing will pan out!

Best of luck. I know how hard it is to get rejected. Still, sounds like you've got some good options out there. (Harley? that's sexy. In a trashy girl in leathers kind of way.)

Don't sweat Rockwell at all, they laid off a crapload of people just 2 years ago and are probably hiring cheap, just out of school people , who will probably get tossed aside when they reach a certain pay grade.. happened to my cousin-in-law just 2 years ago..\r Good luck with HD! I know their records guy, great place to work!
