Someone else got The Job I Really Wanted

[cosmolinguist]

Interviewing for it finished today.

Tonight I got an e-mail that said "colleagues were interested in your passion and campaigning experience," apparently. This is more feedback than I was led to expect and it's nice -- even if I suspect it's nice because they want to talk to me because of my new One Day Without Us hat.

I'm great at work, as long as no one else wants to do it and it doesn't pay.

I feel this so hard. I hate the way jobs are set up, allowing this to be the case for some people.

I've often been in the same position or near it...

I can imagine. Sympathy.

Sorry to read that. :-(

I can totally relate to this...

:( Bummer. I know what you mean about people only valuing when they don't have to pay for it >:( That's why I'm wary of "volunteers" in many circumstances cos these roles should be paid and supported properly.
