So I had my feedback session with the hiring manager for the job I did not get. I was very interested to see what I did wrong or why I was not selected. I did find out I knew 2 of the people who were selected and neither of them are people I would consider to be more qualified than myself. Actually quite the opposite. So I had my sit down. It went really well. We talked for about 45 minutes. The first words out of his mouth were "We absolutely loved your energy and enthusiasm. You have great communication skills and you had very solid answers to all of our interview questions. For this round of selections, we found out that the openings were going to be for some of our compliance states that are a bit more difficult to handle so we decided to base our selections on people with any prior medical experience. All of the 6 selected had prior medical experience like medical billing, EMT, and administrative jobs with the medical clinic in the military. I think you would make an excellent addition to our department. We do have more openings coming up in February. I am going to set you up with a mentor in our department that you can sit with once a week to observe so that you will have a better understanding of our department. I would highly encourage you to apply again when the new postings come out after the beginning of the year."
So that was long winded but I was trying to get most of what he said in there. I can tell you that I felt a bit better afterwards about not getting the job. However, I think they may be a bit disappointed with at least 2 of their selections. I guess only time will tell. I know that may sound like pure jealousy but really it is not. I just have knowledge of the way these 2 people did their previous jobs. Other people made the same comments. One that is really close with one of the girls. She said while she absolutely loves her she was surprised she got the position as she is not even proficient in her current role which is easier. The girl who said this did not even apply for the job so it is not jealousy on her part either. And another adjuster who sits near me said the same thing. That she is always on the IM asking for help because she does not know her job. At any rate, it is what it is. It will not stop me from bettering myself and reapplying.
I am happy to report that I am still feeling great and having no issues maintaining my weight. Life really couldn't be any sweeter living the sleeved life. I see so many people stressing about potential complications like hair loss and all I can think is that it is such a minor issue compared to what you get out of this surgery. It is not like the hair loss is permanent. I really hope that people who are considering surgery really read people's personal experiences and make a decision that is right for them. Do not let fear keep you from living this amazing dream life. Read as much as you can. This surgery is a game changer. Don't live with regrets!
Happy Friday all! I am in a super mood because I got to go home early because my daughter needed to be picked up. Can you say weekend started early? Big hugs my friends!
