Job Update : Still Stuck

I've recently been invited for an Interview at an Interior Design Firm but had to turn them down after giving much thought.


The interview was suppose to be happening tomorrow, but I kind of cancelled it last minute today, problem right now is I'm not sure if the company has received my email about my withdrawal because the boss isn't replying to them.



Most of the time, if I withdraw from an Interview, I would at least get a confirmation email from the boss or the PR person that they have received my email, something like...

"No problem, good luck with your future endeavors"

....or at least something simple like...

"Noted" or "Okay"

But right now, because of the lack of any sort of reply from the company, I'm not sure if the boss has seen my email or not, which is extremely frustrating, because if he didn't and I don't turn up for the interview, it's going to leave a mark on my Jobstreet Profile, which will make future hunts for jobs a lot harder.




Reason why I decided to withdraw my application is because...


1. This company wasn't one that I wanted to join, it was join one of the many companies I had blindly applied for out of desperation.


2. I actually got a reply from the Interior Design firm I wanted to join, like out of the blue today, almost a month after my interview with them.



If the Firm I wanted to join got back to me, then I also don't really want to waste my time going for an Interview for a job at a company I did not want to join at all in the first place. Technically, the Firm wasn't offering me a job, but simply asking me if I was still interested in the position, of course I said yes, but ask why they are still offering the position a month after the interview, they have yet to reply me and I'm starting to wonder if asking the question was such a good idea.


3. I heard that the economy has been pretty bad lately, so a lot of company are not hiring at the moment and rather than just settling for a random company now, it would be wiser for me to wait for the economy to get better and start applying for jobs when companies that are more well known and established start to hire, that way, I might even be able to score a job that doesn't involve doing Sales.



So in conclusion, my plan is as follow, the Firm that got back to me will probably be the last Design Firm I will consider joining, if I can't land a job there, then I am going to stop job hunting and will just wait it out till the end of the year when the economy will hopefully improve. I have a job now and even though it may not be the job that I want to be doing at 26 years old, at least it's providing me with a generous income, although I haven't actually been paid for the last 2 months.
