    Hey bees,

    So Ive been on two job interviews for this small company to be a marketing assistant. The director of marketing and I got along great, we even have a mutual friend in common. It seemed like everything she needed in an assistant, I had. It felt like I was going to get the job.

    Well this morning I got an e-mail from her saying she thinks I'll have trouble adjusting to the 9-5 schedule (?), and that I seem too creative to have a such a "boring office job". So basically she put in a nice way that I'm not getting the job. :(

    I just feel like these are such silly excuses to not hire me. I realize going to a 9-5 office job is going to be hard work, but she told me she wanted someone creative! I feel like writing her back and telling her she is mistaken about me and to give me a chance (my friend thinks that emailing her again would be unprofessional, yet she is the one that wrote a P.S in the e-mail if I could let her know when our mutual friends' bachelorette party is!).I'm so disappointed in myself, and I'm avoiding telling my mother who has been praying and hoping I'd get my foot in the door (I graduated college last May and have yet to find anything.)

    Any advice?

    I would call her back and tell her that you really would like the job and see if that will help you get it.  Hopefully she didn't give it to someone else.

    I would have to agree with the two previous bees...call her and let her know that you are confident that you are what she is looking for. be cautious not to sound like your begging (I did that, it was embarassing). just show assertiveness and true desire for the position.
