Thank you one and all for your words of support etc in the last post.
To begin with, I'd like to apolgise for my lack of gypsy spirit. Christine didn't deserve to bear the brunt of my anger and I take back everything I said. I was wrong (WRONG - WRONG I SAY!)
Many thanks to all for trying to cheer me up. I can't remember who asked, but no, reference checks weren't completed.
You might say this was one rejection too many. Flight attending has been the only job that I have never been successful for (every other job I've been for - yes, but not this one). Even more frustrating is how much I want the job to make a career out of it. I'm only human - like everyone else here - and there's only so much rejection a person can take, no matter how good or bad they are.
Evacu8 - I think I need to address an issue here. No, it's not that I think QFLink MUST take me and god forbid they don't. Quite the contrary. I think, in hindsight, to achieve what I have at my age is a credit to me, and to get past stage 2 of the selection processes these days in f/a interviews is a job well done on anyone's part. Particularly when you look how many people go for so few jobs.
True - my initial post was VERY caustic, and as I said, Christine didn't deserve what I said about her. What can I say - I was mad, I was angry - and dare I say we've all been down that path before (fortunate are the few who haven't). I am familiar with the process QF use (been thru it often enough) and know about the Exec panel decision. Just one of those things that happen to the best of us.
And yes, I am aware management refer to this site and others often. However - what do I have to lose??
Sick squid - thank you for your sane words during my moment of madness. Those that know me here would've been quite shocked (looking back at it now, I'M SHOCKED - and I was the one who wrote it!!) Just not me at all normally - this was, you might say, the straw that broke the camels' back.
I've since completed my grieving process (anyone would think someone had died by the way I write about these f/a interviews!!!) and have now reached my more normal state after such disappointments by simply being 'over it'.
As for those who chose to use my initial comments as a judge of my character - touche! First impressions and all that!!
I do hope all is forgiven...if not, there's still plenty of humble pie to be consumed (speaking for myself, I've since gorged!!)
