[quote=Anonymous]OP,

Congratulations. You must’ve felt great. I can’t think of a better time to find out that you’ve been hired.

I’m one of those temporary contractors who’s employed on a project-by-project basis. Sometimes for several months at a time, other times for as little as a few days. Employment agencies often lie about the length of projects when they feel that they don’t have enough contractors. Because we’re just temps, and not real employees, we’re also treated like crap. No sick leave, no annual leave, no paid holidays. Reminders that we’re not invited to their social events, including their Christmas parties, etc.

For these reasons (among a million other reasons), I’ve been desperately seeking permanent employment. I remember, during one particularly pointless project meeting when all the temps were being belittled, I kept checking my email for news about a federal job for which I had interviewed several months before, thinking how great it would be if I found out there and then that I had been hired.

Unfortunately, no email ever came thru regarding that job, and I found out later that I had not been hired. So my search for employment continues.

Anyway, I’m always happy to hear when the job dreams of a mistreated employee come true.
