1. Contact them
Ask if they'll take a late application as you just learned about the position. It couldn't hurt. :shrug:

:hug:

4. I had a job fall through for me too today
I was sure I had it and I never got a call back. So pissed, because I need to start NOW to pay bills. I hate this stuff. I'd just as soon turn tricks at this point, I'm so tired of all this other bullshit. I am really down, lol, considered starting a thread but I thought if that drops to the bottom then that would just make me feel worse.

Sorry to hear about that. Half of the jobs I apply for online seem to be a waste of time. Hopefully this is just a bad karmic day in the universe and it will get better tomorrow.

5. My experience exactly! re: "half the jobs I apply for on line"
I have a list of prospective employers to call tomorrow -- places to which I've applied on line or to whom I've faxed apps, resumes, references.... I DETEST not getting calls or even e- or snail mail stating "sorry but." :grr:

Buck up, idgie. Don't turn tricks. ;) It WILL get better tomorrow, for both of us.
