I guess this is what happens when you expect so much from something and putting too much hope. Yup, you've guessed right. I didn't get it. Like a friend said before, I need to manage my expectations. The more one expects something, the harder it will be to take that one has failed later. I feel shitty now, so I guess that saying's true. *sigh*
Well, back to more job-hunting I guess.

In my opinion, its best to expect the most. You are then more optimistic and there is no such thing as too much hope. Your next post should be titled: And im back on the horse again!
Call me when you feel like an ice cream :D
I understand so well!
I was in the running for a position I knew would be a good fit for both parties -
I mean, even their nice rejection letter made me realise how much I wanted the job -
I'm trying to hold to my 'things happen for reasons' mantra but..............................
Patrick: I try to be optimistic too, but then it somehow always backfire on me...most of the time, I find that when I don't expect so much on something, it's not that hard to accept that I didn't do so well on it. If I succeed, it's icing on the cake :) But if I do expect too much (like in this case), when I get let down, it hits hard (sometimes a little too hard) and I guess I'm not that strong a person...
Phyll: Yeah, it's kind of sad...it's like SO near, yet so far at the same time, right? I never thought I would be so hopeful on this. The last time I applied for the trainee position, it was just on a whim to see how far I could go...little did I know I was actually hoping this would be my break from my boring job. And then...this happens. *sigh*
