• Call me the comeback kid.

  When I first was applying for the Office of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction (SSPI), I got a first interview and a second interview. After the second interview, I was told that while I was a top candidate, I was the third candidate for two positions. The manager asked me if she could keep me in mind if another opening comes up. I said yes, and one month later, I was interviewed an hired for an equivalent position.

  As I applied for other promotional positions as I became eligible over the past few months, there was a position created in the Office of the SSPI that I really wanted. I applied and got a first and second interview, and once again the same manager told me that they were going to go with someone else. A few weeks later, they created an equivalent position and offered it to me today. I gladly accepted.

  Don't ever give up. Only when you give up do you really lose.
