So… no. Contract didn’t get renewed so come 4 August I’ll be jobless. Well, unless I find something else, quickly. The manager was really nice about it; honest and direct also, but I know how to take criticism, and she let me talk freely as well. You can say a lot about her, but she’s doing her best to be trustworthy. My renewal didn’t happen on grounds of my sales, which is fair enough. I didn’t do badly, but I didn’t do splendidly either. And she’d communicated earlier that she wanted to see more sparks from me… and those usually just didn’t happen. There were a few months that I did REALLY well, but even in those cases, A & C were just better than me. And it seems like I’m always going to be the lowest-selling one – they just want more.
Well then, fair enough.
A job is like a love relationship. You can plod along when it isn’t what makes you happy because it’s convenient, but in the end nobody will get happier out of the situation. And in this case, well, it’s better to break it off. I’m sad to have to start somewhere else all over again, and it isn’t doing much for my self confidence, but it’s the honest truth and maybe I’ve just been unlucky, maybe I’m not as good a worker as I thought, or maybe the real truth is somewhere in the middle. We’ll just see.
My CV is already at two other places (one of which is AWESOME!!), so now the jobhunt will start in earnest. Monsterboard, here I come!
And on the bright side, it looks like Olli got extended till December, so that gives us a bit of leeway. Tomorrow we’ll hear more. Fingers crossed!
I’m sorry to hear that. But one door closes, another open….
maybe I’ve just been unlucky, maybe I’m not as good a worker as I thought, or maybe the real truth is somewhere in the middle.
Or maybe you just haven’t found the right job for you, yet. You’re bright and hardworking and enthusiastic – I’m sure you’ll find something that makes you happy soon. *hugs*
*hugs*
Sorry to hear that it didn’t work out, but I think it’s for the best. You were getting awfully quiet lately, so… Now there’s a chance to get back to happy-Lannie mode
but first, happy job-hunting
Good luck with the job hunt! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Don’t take it too much as personal criticism. It probably just wasn’t a good match.
*hugs*
Kan weinig zeggen waarom het niet klikte met je job, dat weet je zelf het beste.
Maar ergens moet er de perfecte job voor je zijn, en die ga je vinden!
Aaaw, that sucks *hugs*
But I’m sure you’ll find the right job for yourself eventually. Sometimes it just takes a while (says the one who’s still job-hunting
)
I’m sorry your contract didn’t get renewed, but then again you saw this coming, so perhaps it’s not too bad. Good luck finding the job you want!
*hugs*
