Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Did you have fun? I bet you did. Who is and what criteria do they use to pass 100%. For that criteria, do born women pass? There will always be someone talking behind your back. Don't worry about it and have fun.

Shopping sounds like a prize to me!

And a friend once told me to worry about what my makeup looks like, not what other people are thinking. A sort of zen koan for the MTF transgendered.

Merry day.

  Bravo girl!! That's a great news and I'm very happy for you!

Well, you can all stop crossing your fingers now; I didn't get the job.

My guess is that they felt I was overqualified, and wouldn't be happy in the long run doing more production-oriented work than creative; I do have to say that I feel I got a fair shot.

I'll just have to keep looking, but tonight I'm going to curl up on the sofa with a spoon and a half-gallon of ice cream and do some serious self-consolation.

Thanks to all for rooting for me; I'll be asking again! And if anyone knows of a job opening...

Hey Annie the important part is that you went through with it as you, and you can be proud of that.  Don't give up hon, I'm sure there will undoubtedly be other opportunities.

I'm so sorry too that you didn't get the job, Annie!  I always figured that if a company is dumb enough not to hire me then I don't want to work for them anyway!  You'll get more chances.

And just think how much easier it'll be the next time around!  Nothing terrible happened and you'll have been through it once before.   You'll be so much better at the next interview.

A smart and creative person such as yourself will find her place, sooner rather than later I think.  Enjoy the ice cream, watch out for brain freeze ^*giggles* and keep those spirits up.

(got a second spoon?)

I missed this thread earlier. 

I'm glad you had a good interview experience.  It will make the next one much easier.

If you said what kind of work you do, I missed it.  My company is hiring in many parts of the country and, at least, has sexual orientation in the EEO statement and one one or more TS working for it. 

Give us a bit more info, and maybe some of us can point you to a potential company.

I bet you didn't get the job because there's a better one out there waiting for you.  That's what happened to me.  I had 3 interviews which I thought went really well, but I was turned down for the first 2.  I got the third one, which was the best of the 3 jobs.  I am very happy with it.  I'll bet you will find something even better.

Thank you all once again... you guys really have made this whole thing a lot easier.

I really don't feel terrible about not getting this one; after all, it was my first interview! There will be more to come, and like Melissa, I'm taking this as meaning there's a better one waiting for me down the road.

Robyn, I'm a graphic artist doing illustration, 3D modeling, layout, website design, and general Photoshop work. You can see alot of my stuff at my website (it's in my profile).

And Helen, there's definitely an extra spoon around here somewhere; in fact, I think I have enough for all of you!

Thanks again...

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that, I was so sure that you will get that job  .

I feel very disappointed at the moment but maybe is Melissa wright, I really hope that she's wright.

Annie,
Sorry that you didn't get the job, but like someone else said, that just means that there's something better out there.

I'm sure you'll find something soon....

Best of luck to you.
