Rejections and Roses

I’ve spent the last couple of days looking intensely for a job. Ok lets be honest I’ve spent the last 9 months looking for a job. There I’ve said it, it’s been 9 months without a job. Yes I’ve found in between jobs… I’ve temped, bartender, taught swim lessons, taught surf lessons, sold half of my worldly (and not so worldly possessions). It’s weird to think I’ve been out of work this long. And I think day by day I’m slowly going crazy. I annoy all my friends endlessly with my constant emails and im’s and facebook messages. Not to mention status updates and blogs. But when you have tons of time to kill every day what else are you going to be doing but obsess endlessly about little things… and every little thing- over and over and over again. Sorry guys, I’m going to try harder- I PROMISE. So I though I would start a weekly Who Hates Hardt post… here are the companies that have rejected me recently (and these are only the ones I’ve interview with because if I was to post all the ones I have sent resumes to I think we would be here until Spring!)

1) CBS Programming. Well technically they haven’t rejected me (yet) just postponed our interview a week. But if they really wanted me to work for them they would have wanted me to come in this week- not next!
2) The Office. And actually this is my 2nd time being rejected from them. If they call me for a 3rd position I’m saying NO! I was actually told in the interview that they couldn’t hire me because I had TOO MUCH EXPERIENCE.
3) Lie to Me. They seemed to love me. Asked me to come in for a second interview and they would call me later in the day with the time. Never called. I emailed to check up and they said they already hired someone.
4) A Dive bar in Redondo Beach. Turns out I don’t have enough Bartending experience… come on people I’m beginning to feel like Goldi-freakin-locks!
5) Executive Producer of former hit fox comedy that is now being made into a hit Sony Picture. Ok this one I haven’t officially been rejected from yet so I can’t put what show it actually is, but I’m losing hope here so assuming I won’t get the job.
6) Very Famous Film Producer. But would have to relocate to Georgia and was a little wary on what he expects from his assistant that he wants to pay almost $100,000 for!

Well that’s all for now… though with more interviews set up I’m sure we can add more rejections to the pile.
