Maybe I counted the chickens before they were hatched. Perhaps it’s my fault that I was so assured that one of those companies would have made me a job offer. After all, I’d gotten past the second interview for both, and Powerpoint, for example, said everyone I’d met and talked with were so impressed with me, my resume and my work. So, yes. I had my hopes high only to find out … nope. They don’t want me.

Now what?
