It still stings...

I just got my first formal rejection in my job hunt today.  The email from the guy at Rockwell was short and not-so-sweet:  "No interest here.  Apologies."  In my job search, I've had a couple of dead ends, but this was the first time a company with my resume actually said "No".

Even though I wasn't particularly passionate about working for Rockwell, it still stings.  I haven't had a job rejection since my first job out of college.  Any job I've applied for in the last 15 years, I've gotten. 

On the somewhat bright side, I have a potential connection at Harley-Davidson.  Now there is a place I'd really like to work.  Keep your fingers crossed for me...
