Because sometimes they really do care, even though you don't get to see it until you are leaving. I wish more people would share their feelings before it was too late. Think about how many people feel lonely when they could feel loved. This is your job for the week: Tell someone you care.
Last week as I was going through the cupboards, I found a big card from the people at an architectural firm where I was the mail clerk. Some 85 people had signed this card (told you it was big), and I was just astounded when I saw it again. I remembered all these people that I had worked with, all their different personalities...
So the title of this one is because I totally blew a job offer because I wasn't excited enough for the HR person. Silly me, I went and said just what I was thinking and they never called back even though they said they would. That whole thing with not doing what they said they would was an ongoing issue throughout the whole process, and it would have driven me nuts if I was working for them.This little incident has given me pause, however, and changed the direction of my job search. Now I am looking for a place that needs someone who will speak up when something is wrong, who will demand that things be done properly. Who needs another smiling face while things are falling to pieces around you?
