Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Grrr, my company does that too...

And I really don't see the point at all. I mean, if you have enough qualified people applying from within the company, why even offer it up to other people so they can go through the whole process with you when they could be applying somewhere else?

At my company, I am part-time and if I want to go up to full-time (which I do) I have to go online and submit a cover letter and "apply" for the job. At the same time, Adrian has quit his job and I said my place is a good place to work, so he applied. I then realised that we had basically both applied for the same job, how stupid is that? It's the same job I am already doing EXACTLY but with guarunteed hours!
Anyway, they DID hire internally so Adrian didn't even get an interview and I didn't get it because my sales numbers aren't high enough (which is a whole other drama I have at work right now!) so they gave it to new hire people who are still in training and haven't even worked their first shift, grrrr!

It doesn't make any sense to me, so I can see why you would be frustrated.
I'm really sorry that the job didn't work out for you, I know you thought it sounded like a good fit for you. Hopefully the other one that they sent your info off for will come through. If not, I'm sure something else will.
I know it's really hard to find a job when you move, no matter how qualified for it you might be.. Hang in there, though, something will come up!

Cheers!
Steph
