...In the cool breeze, warm sun and soothing sound of the sea, I realized how similar I am at from Grade 5 - high school senior.
Most of the time just in second place running for honors. It was a fun competition then. I'm not sure I can say the same with now.
For the interviews I've had, I seem to be edged out by 1 more person. One had more experience with SAP mobility. Another one had SAP Hana experience. And the last one, for a contract role, I didn't bother to ask. I was just told there has been a request for budgetary approval to have another person on board - me - the number 2.
There has been a sort of cycle with these. Thursday I hear the news, Thursday I get another interview scheduled.
I can't say I'm sad. I'm actually fine. A little feeling of frustration would come by and then go. (Maybe if I didn't have savings, then I'd be depressed). This is what life is, you don't always get what you want. That, in a race, you may not have finished first, but there's comfort in knowing you finished second, still ahead of the rest. And the other thought, at least I'm making it through shortlisting and getting to final round of interviews. It should come eventually.
For now, I'm still on vacation! :)
Enjoy the "vacation!" Something good will come up soon. Stay positive, friend! X
