I haven't had a call from Company S.

I've spent a horrifyingly tense, lo-o-o-o-ong day waiting... just waiting, plowing my way through a family size bag of cookies (helpful) and trying not to lose my shit.

One of my references texted me in a tizz that she'd missed a call at 4:30pm. FUCK.

The other called me just after 5 to say that she'd had the call. And that she'd given me an excellent reference, so everything is sweet! Oh, apart from this one thing I just wanted to run by you - she asked me about any training and development you might need? And I couldn't think of anything. And then at the end I said I suppose you could do with some leadership training. I've no experience of you as a Team Leader, so I thought that might be something that would be good for your development. Is that OK? Did I say something wrong?

O_O

No. No, you just told a prospective employer that I need Leadership training and that you had no experience of me being a Team Leader.

AS A REFERENCE FOR A TEAM LEADER ROLE.

*sigh*

This referee left Company P before I acquired my two staff members (which... if I'm being totally honest didn't technically report into me. But since I was solely responsible for their training, delegating and monitoring their work, I decided it counted as leadership experience).

Now I'm thinking my referee - well intentioned, and a good friend - may have just made me look like a liar in my application.

And that a promising opportunity might just have turned into a puff of smoke.

Fuck.
