So, I send them an email.

I was absolutly convinced that the position I interviewed for this morning was not for me, and after a short talk with TFB, I send 'em an email. He has a lot of experience in employment the field and he told me it's always best to let a potential employer them know when we withdraw our name for the position when there's no interest. As The Gal Herself made me realise, even if they had an opening in the customer service, it wouldn't be that interesting. The fucking commute would still be close to 2 hours and they wouldn't pay me like Big Multinational Company did.

So I inspired my email from this letter I found online. I used an email because that's the information posted on the employement website.

Dear Mr. Interviewer,

I would like to thank you for interviewing me for the XXX position. Unfortunately, I must withdraw my name from the list of applicants.

Thank you for considering me for this position.

Sincerely,

This girl is going back to college! mrgreen :::::I'm doin' the happy dance::::: Honest to God, I can't wait to have the interview to get in the intensive program. I'm very very excited. As for the rest, I'm OK and happy in my decision. I had a great time with The Tall Friend's wife and kids at dinner time and doin' homework with them. This is time well spent because it's good for the soul.

I miss my co-workers from Big Multinational Company, I miss 'em dearly. Life goes on eh? So what's up with you guys?

A short update

Well it's not going to be a long update and I don't feel very articulate but well. The interview went well , the 2 interviewers were nice but after reflection, but I don't feel enough qualified for the job and I don't think this is a good fit for me.

It's a very nice company but I feel underqualified and I don't think it's for me. They told me they were going to let me know tomorrow because they had other interviews this afternoon.

I hope I do not get it because I'll decline. It's OK to say no to a job offer, I just do not feel this is a good match for me. The commute would take forever, I'd have to leave around 6 AM to be at the office at 8h00 AM, and I lack some qualification and there's a gut feeling that says "This is just not for you". I'm going to listen to this.

I still am willing to discuss this with friends and I need to to feel confident in my decision. I don't think it's smart to accept a job offer that you don't really want. It would be a PITA for the company and for me to have them train me and invest in me if I already know I wouldn't be happy there eh? I'm trying to be smart here and also respect myself.

How should I do this? Should I email 'em today to thank them but let them know the position doesn't interest me but if they had openings with customer services I'd be more than willing?

Let me know! mrgreen
