I applied for a permanent position with the company I've been temping for. I loved working there. Yesterday I found out that I didn't get the permanent position. This morning I found out that my temp job was terminated last night, and no one told me then, so my Roger Ebert video guide and two mugs are trapped at that place.

I did call for two positions with our local university, and I did ask my supervisor at the temp job to be a reference for me in the future because she agreed to be one for my application for a permanent position, but once again I've been rejected from a place I loved for a job I would have done everything for.

Please help me ward off depression. Thanks. If you can't, please refrain from posting anything negative at me, at least.
 
I'm sorry. :rose:

I know it doesn't help any, but you seemed to have the skills necessary to find another job. It's tough to lose a job that you love - I've been there, and I know. :(
 
Something good is just around the corner for you. That's how this works.

Talk to your birds today, while you let your subconscious mull things over to help your concious make a plan.
 
I've been in the same boat and I feel for you. It's so hard to not let it get you down, but sometimes it works out for the best. In my case, the next job I found turned out to be perfectly suited to my skills and temprament as well as easyier to handle with my disability. I kept it until I had to go on permanant disability and coul dno longer work. :rose:
 
Just keep on....

and remind yourself it is probably not personal, any reflection on your qualities. its simply business. turn over the temps. indeed they may want someone less qualified than you.

They say the economy's been picking up, but you can't prove it by me either.

Bear up, Kas. The wheel goes up and the wheel goes down.
 
I can commiserate...

I recently lost my job of seven years and to make matters worse, I was on a US work visa and had to leave the country in short order.

I never realized that what I would miss (aside from the paycheck) is the daily interactions with people I worked with.

Can only hope what comes next will be better...

Hang in there!
 
I don't know what kind of business it was that employed you, so perhaps I am missing something. Still, I can't see why your Roger Ebert video guide and two mugs must remain trapped there?

Even had you been fired for cause, you would still have a perfect right to go back and pick up your possessions.

It's bad enough that they did not inform you of your termination in person.

Their lack of consideration is no reason for you to accept a further lose.



Cheer up, and don't forget to update your resume. :)
 
*hugs* you'll find something else, something better and more suited to you,I'm sure of it. Be positive and apply, apply, apply :)
 
Wow - that sucks!

Not sure you should be working for a place that has such poor management skills though.

You will bounce back, my daughter finally got placed with the third temp job she took, it is a matter of perseverence.

Sometimes the things that look the most negative are the ones that turn out to be the most positive. But getting to that point is not a fun wait.

Maybe you didn't get that job because an even better one is around the corner. I hope so!
 
Having lost five jobs in seven years due to company bankruptcies, restructuring and downsizing, I can totally sympathize. If you like your job and put a lot of work into it, it hurts so much when it's suddenly gone. You just have to tell yourself that every major roadblock like this is an opportunity, that something else even better will open itself up for you. :kiss:

Oh, and try to let yourself have a little fun whilst unemployed, blow off some steam and stay up late. :cool:
 
Kass, that sucks. However, every bad thing is one more step on the path towards the happy ending that the Gods have laid out for us.

It sounds lame, I know, basically because I heard so many people turning my own words back at me when I'm depressed, but it's still very true.

from the soon to be unemployed...my heartfelt sympathy. i wont bring out my mr. rogers sweater and sneakers and tell you to be my neighbor, but i am sending positive vibes your way, sweets. good luck on your job hunt!
 
My hubby always reminds me about the one door closing, another opening thing. I know that it might sound cheesy but it's true. If you believe in God or a higher power or destiny, think of it as it just wasn't meant to be and that something else more befitting you is on the way. :rose:
