State of the lady
This entry is being written whether it wants to or not.
I did't get an interview with Carter's. No big deal, I took it well. I'll just move back home and get a job in retail. My dream might be harder to achieve that way, but it should come faster. I totally got this.
Or so I thought.
I applied to an opening Teavana store yesterday, and today I got this e-mail:
Thank you for applying to the Retail Sales Team Leads, Team Members, and Baristas - [redacted] position with Teavana.
After reviewing the details you provided in your application, we wanted to inform you that we are considering other candidates who we feel more closely match all aspects of the positions requirements.
There are a number of factors that go into determining who may be the best candidate for the job, such as: availability, desired salary, level of related experience for the job applied to, completeness of application, desire for full or part time work, etc.
Because we value the time and effort you have made to include Teavana in your job search we also feel it is important for us to notify all candidates of their status in the process.
We wish you the best in your continued job search and hope that you may consider us for future opportunities!
Sincerely,
Human Resources
And somehow, that is the most crushing rejection I've received so far because if I can't get a job in retail, where can I get one?
I got that e-mail about 4 hours ago. I'm doing a bit better now, looking to other options and stuff. Got a few more jobs lined up for NC, but none of them seem as awesome as Teavana would be. One's another tea store, but it seems really pretentious and upper-class.
Anyway.
Have I told you guys about my "dream"? Apparently it has to do with starting my own business. Whenever I imagine myself in the future, I'm always a creative director of some sort, and I think I'd rather be the director of my own works rather than something already in existence. I don't know...well, I have an idea of what I'll be selling, but I'd like a year or three to work on my construction.
Which is why I need a job, so I can have money for materials and mistakes.
I'm just blue right now. I'll get over it, I know. I always do. Things feel hopeless right now, but I know they're not.
Though I do think I'll be going to bed early tonight, instead of staying up working on thesis. I need to not work myself to death for a bit.
