I did it! I e-mailed the HR department to find out if I had been chosen for the second round or "if they had moved forward with other candidates". I didn't want to be a pest, but I wanted to figure out if I was still being considered. Unfortunately, I did not get selected for the 2nd round of interviews, but I do think I built a little bit of a relationship with their HR department which if I apply to them again may be helpful.
I am still wondering why they chose someone else instead of me. The job was for a Manager of Network Infrastructure and telecommunications. that is may job title currently, and I thought I did an excellent job answering all the questions in the interview. So now, I am forced to evaluate the intangibles such as my enthusiasm, verbal delivery, did I sound like a know it all or someone disagreeable who wouldn't fit in with their organization. I keep coming back to things like this because I have now made it to four interviews where I felt I answered their questions, presented my self professionally, and yet I am still looking. What am I missing? If there is anyone out there who conducts interviews regularly and has an idea for me i am all ears.
That brings us back to the start. Rip the piece of paper off and start with a fresh drawing board open to any ideas. I am still actively looking for a new job. I can continue to check company websites and internet job boards, but I have been doing that for the past few months and nothing yet. my wife says that there must be a reason I am still at my current job, but she is my number one cheerleader and the person who keeps me going. Even after the fourth no in a row. I was thinking of trying a new approach and sending my resume to companies where I want to work, even if they have no job openings posted. I do not know how an unsolicited resume goes, but it can't hurt to try.
