Before I start on the main topic of this post, I thought that I’d mention that my latest youtube video has been uploaded. As always, I’m the first to say that I wish it was better, but for the footage that I had and my change in making videos (using voice overs) I think it’s pretty okay. You can watch it at my youtube channel which the link is below, unless you’re reading this after it’s left the front page, then it’s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWkyPWJeR2I If there is anyone that watches it and wants to let me know what they think, leave a comment or contact me. Any guidance is appreciated.
Now to the subject of this post… bad news. I want to be careful not to disclose too much information, at least in this post where the news is hitting me kind of personally. The last thing that I want to do is give too much information that could come back to haunt me later.
If you’ve been following this blog you know that about a month ago I was in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. That I was working on videos, and if you were in my circle of friends you knew that I was applying for a job in the US. That whole process started back in November when I first applied. I went through two interviews and then was invited for an interview on campus. So I left KL to come back to the US for the final interview. I had the final interview last week. Tonight I found out that I didn’t get the job.
Right now I’m kind of numb. I’m not sure why I wasn’t given the position, and I will probably never find out, but right now I’m hurting. I kind of threw away a pretty good life in KL to come to the US and now I am not sure what I’m going to do.
That’s about all I think I should write about. To summarize, I left a good life to go to an interview, and now I don’t know what I’m going to do. I mean I’ve considered the possibility that I wouldn’t get the job, but there are so many variables that I couldn’t choose until I actually knew that I wasn’t offered the position.
And… to be completely honest, I’m feeling pretty sorry for myself right now.
