The email I just got from the recruiter:

"Your ears must have been ringing because I was planning on touching base
with you today. Unfortunately the news is not good. Although your
interviews went well we decided to move forward with another candidate.
I'm sorry it didn't work out but I am trying to see if I can find
another match for you either in our department or in another group. I
wish I had better news for you.

I want to thank you for taking the time to interview with us and your
continued interest in opportunities at Microsoft. I will certainly keep
in touch and if there is another position that you are interested in,
please let me know so I can refer you to that group."

I'm ... kinda upset.

Ah damn. I'm sorry things didn't work out.

[bork.livejournal.com]

Man,

I'm so sorry.

[kijjohnson.livejournal.com]

Dammit, I'm so sorry, hon.

[fiorituranotte.livejournal.com]

{{{Jilli}}} So sorry. At least the feedback sounds extremely positive. I hope something good comes along soon.

[alexiarnps.livejournal.com]

Wow.

Well, color me surprised.

[theicequeen.livejournal.com]

*hug*

You know you've got my empathy.....

[sistawendy.livejournal.com]

There will be other opportunities.

It's too bad MyCo is so tiny. I'm not in a position to help.

[butterflake.livejournal.com]

:(

I'm sorry.

[poetry-lady.livejournal.com]

Uh huh. I'm disappointed, as I think you were the stronger of the two candidates.

Grumble...

[m-cobweb.livejournal.com]

Crap. I was so hoping for better news for you.

I do hope this leads to something even better.

[staxxy.livejournal.com]

*hugs*
I am soo soo sorry lady. that sucks.

[angldst.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry that didn't work out for you.

Will telling you that I put your skirt in the post today get a teeny smile out of you?

*hugs*

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

yes. a teeny one.

[minim_calibre]

Grumble.

Well, fuck.

[meegiemoo.livejournal.com]

That totally sucks. =( Silly company.

[icprncs.livejournal.com]

Well, that sucks. I'm sorry.

[weaselmom.livejournal.com]

Oh man. I am so sorry. And if they knew they were moving ahead with another candidate, it would have been nice to have the news sooner, perhaps. Here's hoping something even better comes along quickly.

[orthoepy.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm so sorry!

[serenada.livejournal.com]

Now's not the time for "but they liked you, and you don't suck!" to make it better, I know. But maybe in a week or so, when the perfectly reasonable disappointment at not getting the gig you wanted subsides, you'll be left with that -- although you didn't reach your goal, you were not dissed. You still did good.

[trystbat.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. *hugs*

[jonquil.livejournal.com]

Oh, damn. I'm sorry.

[sophiap.livejournal.com]

I'm so, so sorry. Job hunting and interviewing can be so disheartening, but just hang in there.

[faeredelune.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear that too. I'll choose to believe a better position is waiting in the kharmic bank for you and has just not been unveiled yet.

[amaliedageek.livejournal.com]

Oh, sweetheart, I'm sorry.

[krafen.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. How incredibly frustrating after all the waiting. :(

[fufaraw]

I'm very sorry. Their judgement is obviously skewed. Shall I smite them for you?

[deadrose.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm so sorry. One can hope that something better is waiting in the wings.

[e-juliana.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, sweetie. Hugs.

[caliban1227.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry Jilli. Obviously I sympathize.
Hang in and something will come your way.

[pvcdiva.livejournal.com]

what else is there to say that hasn't been said...ah sweetie, I'm disappointed for you too, and hope this turns out to be because something better is being planned for you...

[cherryheavy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I would be, too. My husband has gone through a few rounds of MS interviews in the last two years, and he always ends up feeling pretty damned let down in the end.

Keep up, though.

What exactly do you do/want to do at MS?

[elenabtvs.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry.

In unrelated news, are your initials just JV, or do you use a middle initial? No reason.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

JVV. Yes, my middle name begins with 'V'. Family legend has that it stands for Vegematic ...

[elenabtvs.livejournal.com]

JVV - that's pretty.

[mearagrrl.livejournal.com]

Aww, I'm sorry. That sucks.

[heartsease.livejournal.com]

Well damnation.

[septembergrrl.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry, Jilli.

[djeternaldarkne.livejournal.com]

Oh sorry Jilli...:(
