Well, the door has finally been closed today on all of the Clinical Specialist opportunities that I have had in the wings. I heard from the job in Chicago that they narrowed five candidates down to two….I was not one of the two. I phoned the in-house recruiter to get feedback from the find out where I “fell out” of the process. She was absolutely lovely and stated that she would check with hiring manager and definitely get back to me. I can certainly use that information to start the process of improving the presentation of myself.
I also heard from my old company. My heart sank as I read the e-mail from the HR department. I really wanted that job. It was going to be interesting and a lot of fun. An internal candidate surfaced and the role was given to that individual. I know it was a good move for the organization but it doesn’t hurt any less. So, where does that leave me? Well after all of the tears that I have shed today over the loss of opportunity, I think I actually see a light to move onto newer and brighter things.
I hope the old adage “when one door closes, another one opens” holds true as I move on and try to market myself in other industries. What do you do when doors close? How do you pick yourself up and keep moving forward? What methods do you use to keep motivated enough that your eyes are always open to creative ways to market yourself in new industries?
