Why do they WANT ME!

By: Mona
.......................

Today I went nuts.. The biggest mistake is applying for jobs because of the results! I rather be ignored, thinking I suck and no one wants me. Why why you after me companies! I am as the company that keeps harassing me says, “I am the best qualified!” I didn’t even fucken do an interview!! I got two emails TODAY from the president of the company.. aahh… my luck.. I told him first I am not interested in this job because it is contract.. then he emails me this:

Hi Mona,

Actually we would be willing to offer you a full time position if we have a chance to meet and if your credentials work out.

Let me know if you are still interested.

Thanks

I ignored it.. 15 minutes later he emails me this!!

Your resume and portfolio are the most qualified that we found for what we are looking for. ( the immediate jobs, are for facebook.com applications )

If you are willing, I would like to discuss and find out more about what you are looking for, and why you want to leave your current placement.

Just some information.

- we employ 2 full-time people and 2 part-time.

I am looking for a 3rd full time programmer.

We offer benefits packages for full and part time employees.

we also offer paid education certifications and other employee bonuses and benefits.

We are very very fast paced, in that each member of the team is expected to problem solve rapidly, but always within realistic timelines and with the support of everyone else. There is little to no bureaucracy as we are a very small organization, we have jobs to do, and we get them done at the best quality and in record time.

If you would like to talk over the phone, let me know.. I don’t want either of us to spend too much time if it’s not a fit.

Thanks again

Aaaaaaahh…… I had to email back with a better explanation.. seriously.. all day long it has been driving me nutz.. so I decided to be nice and honest and emailed back saying,

Hello,

I appreciate it really telling me about the job position. However, I do not think it will suit my needs. I am looking for the long run. I want to be a leader of some sort (project manager), and not spend my time in a small group again. You have pretty much described my current work situation. However, my work is contracted at the University. So I cannot accept it because I will not be advancing in my career at all, and becoming a full time in something I already do is not really my long term objective in life.

I appreciate it really, and I know I would have enjoyed it dearly with all my heart, and I LOVE facebook, but I guess it is not suited for my needs.

Thanks again, and sorry for spending too much time on this.

Ok.. case closed.. DEAR LORD LET HIM STOP EMAILING ME! I don’t want to apply for these kind of programming web design stupid things again.. Next time I have to be fully awake and actually reading job postings before submitting to them. I hate it.. I hate looking for jobs period! It’s the most time consuming most frustrating thing on earth.. I quit applying for jobs.. I will only apply for managerial jobs or top programming jobs at big ass companies.. Other than that I don’t want to think about it… I will just live with what I have!

I am thinking of taking project manager certificates or anything of that nature.. cause it seems a lot of companies want that.. I can start doing that in January.. right now I am busy.. really busy..

    Facebook is slowly becoming a huge monemaking machine! People have left Google to work for facebook, so there’s a lot of money to be made there. Anyway, thats what I heard over the past few days, good luck with the job search Mona :)

    like you said…why make a sideways career move?? I’m sure you can find something better! It’s nice to be wanted though… a good problem to have.

    It is a mistake to apply for a job that you are not very interested in taking. I know I have done it many times and regretted it later. It is always the employers that you don’t want calling that call. :razz:

    Good on you for being picky. Can’t be happy unless you’re doing something you want. At the same time, I have a lot of friends who would love to be in your situation. Often times they’re doing the hounding instead of being the hounded!

    P.S. I heard about you from http://www.seoisforgirls.com/blog/. Link love finds you some awesome blogs.
