Because I have a rule that I don’t post about my job, I haven’t said anything about the promotion I was vying for this past couple of weeks. Well, I didn’t get it and I’m taking it hard. When I was told that I didn’t get the promotion it was explained that I didn’t sell myself well enough in the interview.

See, the problem is, two of the three interviewers see me work every day. They even mentioned how hard they see me working when explaining why I didn’t get the promotion. But they also said they had to act as if they didn’t know me when they did the interview.

So, that means all the hard work, the willingness to step in and help out, and the fact that I displayed leadership in the act of doing my work didn’t mean shit because I failed to project an image of leadership in a 2 hour interview. So, basically two years of hard work didn’t count against a snapshot in time.

Yeah, not feeling very appreciated or valued as an employee right at the moment.
