TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
After several weeks of unemployment this summer (which felt like years...),
I interviewed for four jobs in one week. Three of them contacted me to say
that I was the "second choice" if the first one fell through. The fourth
never contacted me.
A month later, I took a job that I love. Two weeks later, I was contacted
by the no-contact from six weeks before. "You are our number one choice.
When can you start?" I had to explain that they were a little slow in
contacting me...Interestingly, the positions were nearly identical --
setting up the documentation process/department in a medical firm looking
forward to 21 CFR Part 11 certification (which I had never even heard of
before!)
So, keep your options open, but ignore the person who was rude to you. What
goes around comes around, as they say.
