It's nothing...Sorry to hear you didn't get the job. It's nothing to be ashamed of in this job market though. It's tough out there. <br /><br />A few years ago, when the job market was not so horrible, I applied to a job that it's only requirement was a high school diploma. I not only had a college degree but two years of work experience in the area. So I went for the interview and it went so well I pretty much bragged to everyone who would listen that I was sure I would get the job. Later I received a generic letter of rejected via email. I think I was angry more at myself than the company but now I have found a job I enjoy and I guess it's like that saying that you have to kiss a few frogs before you find a prince.. or something like that..News From Our Nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04086025989606702333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-584545306338199398.post-85731216520079020072009-04-16T09:50:00.000-07:002009-04-16T09:50:00.000-07:00Thanks for sharing a lovely post.

It nearly undoes me!<br /><br />And I must congratulate you on picking a kind, thoughtful husband - and kudos to your hubby for being that guy. Mine is great, and he would sit and listen to me -- but I doubt he'd think to go find me a funny movie to lift my spirits!Jenn Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11875771182757925121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-584545306338199398.post-21018977034624723852009-04-16T07:55:00.000-07:002009-04-16T07:55:00.000-07:00This is a beautifully written post, Julia. You've ...This is a beautifully written post, Julia. You've captured the ups and downs perfectly in relation to motherhood. I loved the ebb and flow of this post.<br /><br />I am so sorry about the rejection from the NonProfit. Your husband is wise. It is THEIR loss, obviously. It is often in these rejections that we find our strength and venture out in a new direction. I hope that doesn't sound too pat. Here's to a new path!JCKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04582581376724478366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-584545306338199398.post-59347336149836674142009-04-16T07:39:00.000-07:002009-04-16T07:39:00.000-07:00Thanks for sharing this bit of yourself, especiall...Thanks for sharing this bit of yourself, especially the glimpse into how long it takes to bounce back from the suddenness of becoming a mother. I really like your description of resilience. Good luck with the professional side of things, I have a feeling you will bounce back from this set-back too!InventingLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08882590455596544329noreply@blogger.com
