This weekend was quite meaningful for me. It's moments like this when you need someone you know you can count on, your family and your best friends are always around you.
They finally made the decision. I failed. He asked me to come to his office and said how great I am, my ability, my interpersonal skills and everything, but he just can't pick me because this is a special position and one of the candidates got the exact working experience. She is much more fit for this job, so he had to choose her. I didn't say any things about those that I prepared. The decision is made, what I said is not matter anyone. I am not a sentimental person, but this is still un-easy to accept. Lucky that I got my family and best friends with me. They gave me so much more support. I did my best, I got nothing to regret. I will move on and I will get another job soon.
