And once again... he just doesnt care. If he has the ethical reasoning to care, he already feels bad; if not, it wont matter anyways.<BR/><BR/>the whole thing does suck though. why are you looking for a day job anyways and not trying to get more teaching hours? just curiousDalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593660507735564316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10748138.post-71856539419697366042009-04-09T06:57:00.000-07:002009-04-09T06:57:00.000-07:00I would e-mail it to him.

And, it sounds pretty fishy. <BR/><BR/>I understand that they might want to choose a candidate that doesn't have schedule conflicts, but they should have given you the choice. I mean, they could have very easily said that they would hire you but that they were unable to give you a schedule around your dance teaching, and then at least let you have the choice!<BR/><BR/>You definitely should send a letter, but I think you should tweak a few parts to make it sound more professions. For example, rather than "shocked and appalled," you could say "very disappointed." I would also recommend that you take off the last paragraph and a half, so that the tone of the letter is more "I'm informing you that....." rather than "I hate you because...."<BR/><BR/>Good luck with it!jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109445810389711476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10748138.post-62684658916000394622009-04-08T19:14:00.000-07:002009-04-08T19:14:00.000-07:00I don't think you would have wanted to work for a ...I don't think you would have wanted to work for a guy like that anyway. And I do think you should send them your letter. You might want to tighten it up--okay a lot--so it doesn't sound like it's whining. But I do agree that he does need a professional kick in the butt.erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09860289405281972875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10748138.post-71473991800385182452009-04-08T16:07:00.000-07:002009-04-08T16:07:00.000-07:00I say we go with silly string (or even better, sha...I say we go with silly string (or even better, shaving cream) and attack the new receptionist.
