I didn’t get the job

After waiting what seemed like an eternity, I got a call this morning from the RM, stating that they decided to go with another candidate due to “geographic location and just general fit for the store”  but “they really did like me, you’ve a great fit for our company, it was a very hard decision, and would I like them to call me if something opened up closer to where I lived?”

I said yes, and held my tongue, even though I wanted to question the professionalism of a company that would make a hiring decision based on where someone lives in relationship to the store. As long as I don’t mind the drive and I can get to the store, it shouldn’t be an issue.

Everything seemed to be going so great, and I was never given the impression of IF I was going to get hired, it was always, which store they were going to put me in. Because of that, I really focused on this job opportunity and got very excited about it. I feel so misled.

I’m very upset.

And I have no idea how I’m going to make Jan rent.
