We are the very beginning of the hiring wave, and I truly hope that you are able to get here and enjoy a nice career. Just try to let stuff go that's out of your control and concentrate on the positive. Good luck.
Spudhauler, thanks for your reply. The way I feel frustrated is not at anyone in particular, but it's for not figuring out what makes my app hit the points to get an invite. There is no doubt if we knew what drove the computer, we would all do what it takes to hit the mark. The thing for me, and many others on here, see others that get an invite and compare apps and try to figure what gives? I completely agree that no one wants to hire a person that has a chip on their shoulder. If I came across that way the my apologies. If I get the invite, it will be an ecstatic moment in my life. There is no doubt if I get it two years from now I won't be as ecstatic as I would be now or even this coming year. After trying for something for nearly eight years and still not getting a bite is disheartening.
Last point, anyone that passes the interview I think deserves the job. I've known very good individuals in all spectrums that have gotten the job and also not gotten it. All I'm wanting to achieve that I have no control of is getting the invite to interview. After that then what happens is up to me as far as employment is concerned.
If I made it seem that he doesn't have what it takes to do the job then I miscomunicated and my apologies. As far as qualifications are concerned, we are all qualified if we meet the ATP mins. Now being most qualified is a different spectrum.
