I had an extremely brief job interview today for a car wash. No clue if it went good but the interview was like 5-10 minutes, and all that was really covered was what the job entails, what the shifts are like, who I am, and my availability. It wasn't a hard interview at all, I didn't even really prep for it.

It was at 10AM and I meant to send a follow up soon after but sent it 6-7 hours later (hope that wasn't weird tbh). She told me she would get back to me later this evening upon finishing her last interview. Looking forward to hopefully hearing back in the next 3 hours, as I hope I'll hear back prior to the wash closing.

Anyways, I'll either reply or update the post when I hear back, hopefully she didn't lie about reaching back out today. I need a summer job lol.

Lol I usually text with my name. Like I signed off the thank you text with my name.

Update:
Didn't get it :(

Got my hopes up for nothing.

"Hey [name], thank you for coming out to talk with me today, it was nice meeting you! At this time, we have decided to go with another candidate due to their previous car wash experience. Thank you for your interest and I wish you luck in your job search!"

I'm gonna sulk for the rest of the night I suppose.

I am so, so sorry. That's a bummer.

I hope you can land that job soon and that it's a blast and it pays well!

Maybe, it's so demotivating. Sent out so many applications to various internships before and now just random part time jobs and it feels like I can't land anything. Someone always has more experience or at least the desired experience. I don't know what to even try at this point. I'm so exhausted of just searching at this point. But I know I can't afford to.

I am so, so sorry. That's a bummer.

Thank you! It means a lot to hear, and I hope I can as well. Life and the job market feels so unfair recently
