...and opened a letter to Matt from the company he interviewed with. A rejection letter. He didn't get the job.




edited to add: He isn't home, and he left his phone here. Maybe I shouldn't tell him until after he gets home anyway, so he can concentrate on his classes.

What??? I'm so sorry Britt, did they say why? I thouht that job was almost his, they were just waiting on his boss to be to come back. I'm sorry that's not fair. But you know what? They are the ones that are missing on a great employee, it's their lost and your gain.
I would wait until he gets home to give him the news.

I'm so sorry, Brit! That seems so strange -- he never even interviewed with the 2nd person, did he? I agree -- wait until he gets home to give him the news. If you can, try to think of something that makes him know how much he is appreciated at home -- rejection letters from companies can be very hard on a guy's ego. Good luck!

Oh, I am so sorry. I know how you were hoping that it would work out. You know that when one door closes another one opens and hopefully it will be an even better one!!

How do you think Matt will react? If those kind of things bother him, you might want to wait for him to get home.

Again, I am so sorry it wasn't better news.

No, he didn't. And actually, I looked at the letter, it's dated Monday, October 20th. He interviewed the morning of Friday the 17th...


So that whole "we can't make a definite decision" until he talked to the other guy was obviously not accurate.



I decided to take him dinner on campus since he hadn't had any lunch and has a study group until later. I brought the letter for him, and a "just because" card. He looked disappointed, but he's not the type to fixate on things like that. He'll just move on to the next thing.

*sigh*
