per_soloSo, the interview wasn't really an interview...but it was a sales pitch..now, that doesn't bother me, as it was partially my fault, and I did save the guy some time by letting him know that somewhere, we'd miscommunicated. I applied for this through CareerBuilder, thinking it was a FT job...
Well, he talked about trends and stuff, and work-study programs, and deferrments and all that happy shit. I took his card, and told him that I'd love to consider them if I can locate a job, and through that job, attain more training. He thought training a really good idea, because, the trend anymore is that Helpdesk is being outsourced...and that the A+ I have is a basic cert, and companies anymore are really going towards people who can do both the tech and the people side.
So nice...the thought/feeling is that my focus is exactly what people aren't looking for...that no one wants technicians who can learn, and are expert at the end-user level...of course, it's not like I didn't just go through feeling like that a few months ago.
Feh. I say FEH.
So, yes, irritated...I'll be better, likely faster this time than the last, but man...the ego can quit taking the pounding anytime. After getting the A+ (as readers will recall), my confidence jumped leaps and bounds...I was even informed by my boss that he'd noticed the difference...and then the company said they were downsizing me...confidence plummeted...after pulling the resume together, confidence JUMPED...and after this conversation, it's dipped...
*DEEP BREATH* Walk it off....
(Really, I am dealing with this much better than I thought I'd be originally...doesn't change me still being really irritated at the whole damn mess) :-)
