the job interview

First important thing: the job interview.
The position was a very good one, Technical Specialist for the Data Centre of the company I'm working at the moment.

As I was away during the period they conducted the interviews, working for them in Italy, they thought of not giving me the chance to even have a first interview. But after stalking them and their phone for the whole previous week, I got one on Wednesday first thing in the morning, right after my return to London.

It went great, they were impressed and I got a second interview first thing in the afternoon with the responsible for the department. It went really well as well and I got a third one with the Director of the Department. And it went quite well as well.

So I spent the whole Thursday and Friday in a wreck waiting for the results, more specifically waiting for a "Congratulations Luis, the position is yours". So on Friday I got an email to go and speak with the HR Director. When she started the meeting with "I'm afraid..." I immediately thought "oh, bugger all!"

Anyway I didn't get the job, was quite depressed on that weekend and the good thing is that it made me get up from my chair and look for a new job. Am currently sending CVs to everything I can see myself doing, but only in IT. Am fed up of earning just the enough, need to get a bit more than the enough.
London is becoming too expensive. Maybe I'm expecting more from London than before.
