I did not get the job
I am not a provider

I am a liability

Hugs for you! :hug:

But, can you explain why in their eyes "not being a provider" is a bad thing?
(I may not respond right away...laundry...)

4. We're not buying what you are selling.
Dust off and get back in the game.
Peace

6. No, you are a potential. I'm sorry you didn't get this one but four interviews!
You were clearly in the running. That talent won't go anywhere. Be good to yourself and when you feel it, do it again.

7. My dear Taverner...
You are neither a liability or a non-provider.

ALL of us have failed to make the cut sometimes...

You have gifts, and there will come a time when someone will recognize them, and hire you...

Be good to yourself...

:hug:

13. Sales Guru Zig Ziglar's famous advice on goal setting...
...at the end of every goal you write, add "This or something better."

I don't believe in "luck" or "coincidences"...I believe everything happens for a reason.

Right man, wrong position. "Next" indeed.

9. "I did not get the job " is a fact.

"I am not a provider" is an opinion.

"I am a liability" is an opinion.

Best wishes to you, Taverner! :hug:

10. Ah shit.
It's a harder blow when you made it so far into the process, isn't it? I'm so sorry, Taverner.

12. Dude - you are close.
you are obviously a quality person. Else why would you make to 4 rounds of interviews.
I know it is tough, but don't give up on you!
If I had some pixie dust I would send it your way! But I don't and you have something better anyway - confidence in your ability!

14. Take the long view. In any life there will be some tough times. But 10,000 baby boomers
are retiring a day. Things will look up. Take care of you.
