One Less Option....Bastards December 13, 2006 09:58:28 PM
I haven't heard anything from Lutron since I sent my transcripts off as part of the interviewing process. I mean, it's only been a few weeks, but I was even gonna send them a 'check up' email just in case.
None of that will be necessary now though. I finally heard back from them today. They sent me a letter in the mail, it was just one piece of paper in an evnelope. Basically it says they don't want me. Apparently they will be 'pursuing discussions with candidates whose backgrounds and interests better align with their needs'.
That is such bullshit. 'Whose interests better align'? Who has interests in better allignment than mine? What The Fuck? Lutron; a company that specializes in lighting and automated environmental control. Me; a kid who, in his free time, has single handedly imagined, designed, and constructed a room with fully programable lights, windows, doors, and acustics all controllable from a log-in console, an exterier pin pad, a web browser located anywhere in the world, or your god damn voice for fuck sakes! HA, YOUR VOICE, Yeah, my room has voice automation like fucking star trek. And my interests don't align with their needs??? Fuck off Fuck-tron.
Oh well, I guess I should look at the bright side of this. I kinda didn't want to work there that much anyways cause they are too far north. They are located some where in northern PA, and so another 3 hours would have to be tacked on to my c-ville drives. Also, they are located in no-wheres-town, like nothing to do anywhere. But still, it would have been nice to at least have the offer, you know, as like a buffer, something to fall back on if need be.
None the less, they did turn me down, so of course you realize what this means I must do. Now I have to actually market my inventions, sell them to all of Lutron's clientel for half the price, throw them so far into bankruptcy that they can't even see the light at the end of the tunnel, walk in with a proverbial flashlight offering them a false hope, turn my back on them and exit laughing like the joker just after defeating batman. If I ever actually decide to market my stuff of course. See, this just goes to show how mixed up these companies are. Your GPA is more important than your actual experiences, comitment, or love for the field. LAME.
I don't know, maybe I'm just taking this too hard. Or maybe I just dont take rejection well. After all, this was my very first interview process. We will see.
.....one step closer to Voith.
