you can't expect an employer to want to hire you unless you give the impression that you'd be the best candidate he/she's spoken to. When I hire, I do it based on personality and feel. you can teach skillz...you can't teach personality.

Well aren't you special. I was mainly referring to her success at getting callbacks so soon and my desperation for anything.
Of course duing an interview you kiss ass and show an amiable guy, this interview with OfficeMax is my first rejection of a job by interview. And that's only because the drug tests results never came in and his lazy ass didn't follow up appropriately to the drug testers, I went BACK to ask him 3 times.

So you'd take a shitty employee with a "nice" personality over a smart capable person with a personality that doesn't fit yourself?

you just dont understan :p

No....I didn;t say nice. I mean....I can tell if the person I'm talking to has ....hmmm....the right combination of intelligence and confidence.....spark? hard to give it a name without it sounding like a dating game......but it's almost like that. not about ME liking them...but about them being a real person....

I don;t know you, fresh. you might be a fabulous guy in real life.....but what you've conveyed here makes me interpret your unspoken words as a recurring negative reaction to your personality. you probably think you're amiable....and may be trying to be. but maybe your not?

i apologize for antagonizing you.....i shouldn't. it's not cool.

here's some free advice as an olive branch:

go into your next interview with the assumption that you're hired if you want the job. turn the table. interview them to see if it's a plce you;d be comfortable working. that always seems to work.

You might want to run a spell check on your letter of application too

Not in real life, no. I wasn't trying to be rude, I promise. But is it possible that to some presumptive middle-aged retail manager, you might appear as such? My point was that it isn't luck, obviously your girlfriend must have something appealing about her to be so employable--and conversely, if your resume was ignored by ten different places then there's almost certainly something unappealing about it. If you want, post it and we'll give you some honest feedback. But don't cop out and tell yourself it's pure luck, try and figure out what it is.

Maybe she turned her cell off during the interview?
