Reading majic's journal

So I scored a job interview with a company that I really wanted to work for. The job position was for a senior help desk technician. The responsibilities were to scan major networks and push patches down to operating systems and other client software. I interviewed for an hour and gave a damn good performance!

Turns out now they selected somebody else because, and I quote "Unfortunately, we thought for this position, you were not the ideal candidate as you are more technically advanced than the position requires."

I wish somebody would tell my creditors and my mortgage company that I'm over skilled to work anywhere. I really wish this would pay my bills but I have a feeling it's not going to get me very far.

I wasted a week of my time and drove over 800 miles round trip to interview for this fucking job. Plus it took me over a month just to get a fucking interview (with anyone). I really suppose 8 years and 8 months and 10 fucking days in the US Army with IT experience means absolutely nothing to any employer.

you were not the ideal candidate as you are more technically advanced than the position requires.

Aww man, that really sucks. Good luck finding a better offer.

Good thing you didn't tell them of your pet project, you'd have really scare them then. :D

Sorry to hear about it, I hope something else comes your way, man. I'd help if I could, but sadly, I haven't much to offer. :(

I should be ashamed of myself.
