You know what? This fucking sucks. The company that supposedly was in such a hurry to hire someone? The one I was supposed to interview with this week? Well, not only did the recruiter just find out that the need isn't as "dire" as they were led to believe, but they also dismissed me outright, based solely on the fact that my background is in one field instead of another. No desire to have me come in, to "test" me on my knowledge set, just "we don't want him". Their justification was that they don't have time to "train" someone right now.
I mean, come on - how do you know whether you'd have to train me or not, if you're not even willing to meet me & talk with me? The company I have most of my experience with is one of the most advanced in the industry in this state (in my particular department, anyway). We actually have not been able to find any outsource company who is capable of even coming close to what it is we do/need, even including Canada. I know that if I could sit down with them and go over a spec sheet, I could show them that I was fully capable of doing the job. I'm so pissed off/disappointed right now I don't know whether I want to hit/kick things & throw them around, just stop working right now & go home early, or even fucking quit & move.
This is fucking great. Finally looked like something positive was going to happen for me to let me start getting on with my life, but nooo, life can't allow that, can it? *rollseyes*

Heh, get this... I explained the "how do you know if you won't talk to me" bit to the recruiter just before I wrote this, and just now, he called me back & said he was going to try again to get me an interview. I told him that was all I asked, and if I'm not what they want/need, that's fine, but they should at least give me a chance...
He's going to call me back in a few minutes & let me know. Wish me luck, if you're so inclined...
