Uncertainty
After hearing back from a potential employer
that my candidacy was no longer being considered I solicited feedback from the
hiring committee in order to prepare for future interviews. While the person
responded quickly to my inquiry about where they were in the search process,
they did not respond quickly to my other email. In fact, it has been two weeks
and I have not received a response. This is discouraging to me because I find
that my mentors, supervisors, and professors have told me that employers are receptive
to helping candidates in their job search, and most are receptive to providing
such information to candidates.
So far, about 4 people in my cohort have
accepted offers. The rest are either in the same spot as me (conducting phone
interviews) or attending on campus interviews. There is an air of closure
lingering in the air through a lot of our conversations and activities we
partake in. I am not sure I am ready to leave the comfort of my cohort, or my
University. For many of us, we are at a crossroads—ready to begin our
professional careers, but unsure how the experience of embarking on unchartered
territory will feel.
With two weeks to graduation, I thought I
would be in a much different place right now. I hope within the next week I
will have much better news!
