Not Rejected, Not Offered, But A Secret Third Thing
For context, the job was in a town that's growing but has an incredible new library built late last year with a million dollar makerspace. They only have 4 library staff for a two story building and were hiring for a real library director (the interim one was someone from their parks department for... a reason I can't fathom) nearly concurrently with librarian 1. My theory is that they put the cart before the horse and the incoming director wanted a say in the hiring process, as they should IMHO. I've been unemployed for almost a year and I really needed this career opportunity but at least it's not a rejection like the at least 100 I've received from other jobs so far.
