You guys remember that job at my alma mater I wanted that I didn't even get an interview for? Well, my spy tells me today that the lady ended up hiring the office coordinator for the job. I've met this girl, she is very nice, but she is my age and has similar experience to what I have. Yet when the director called to tell me I wasn't being brought in for interview, all she could talk about was how many outstanding alumni had applied for the job and how they had so much experience.

I wouldn't be upset, I guess, if she had hired one of those alumni with 10+ years of experience. But to hire the coordinator who is the same age as I am and who I know does not have the kind of experience the director professed to be looking for? Yeah, that hurts me. Oh, and as it turns out one of my friends (also a classmate of mine) applied for the job and got the same runaround I did.
