I was once rejected for a job I desperately wanted because, I was told, I acted like I wanted it too much. So I figured, okay, lesson learned, apparently I came across too enthusiastic and should be careful to be more reserved the next time I had a job interview.
Next time I was told...pretty much exactly what those guys just told you. And I'm like, what is this, Goldilocks? Too hot! Too cold! We're looking for the porridge that's just right!
Works the same way here at PBSO. The trick to getting any job you want, apparently, is to first figure out what THEY want! Qualifications be damned! It sucks. Hang in there sweetie. There's an even better job with your name written all over it!
