Just when you reach that point of feeling good about yourself regarding passing and all, reality rears it's ugly head and slaps you down! I went for a relatively lucrative job interview yesterday dressed in a modest business suit and looking very professional...the position was for an account executive at a multi billion dollar international firm based in Germany. The interview was local to me and they needed an experienced AE to handle a 3 state region which I've had much experience at...first couple of screenings were done by phone and all went well...
When the interviewer came out to meet me, he froze in his tracks expecting to see the male version...he did invite me into his office and and it was all down hill from there....he focused more on me and transition rather than the obvious skill sets I could bring to him to help him succeed...I knew I was doomed as the interview was short and he said they would get back to me...they did today and I did not get the job...
I guess I was naive in thinking that I could pass in the professional world or that people would accept ME, not the body...no one said it would be easy...and they are right!
But for those of you that know me well, you'll know that I will lick my wounds, hitch up my knickers, and come back to live another day! But right now, I'm sulking and feeling not so sure of myself...
Sorry...just had to get that out...
