I just found out yesterday, that my shift supervisor at KFC, who also happens to be graduating from NAU for veterinary technology in three weeks, took the job that I've been holding out for ever since I began my online course for veterinary assisting. Now, normally this would not bother me, but the method she used to secure that job is what really upsets me.

I was talking to some of my coworkers at KFC a month or so ago about this job at the veterinary practice that I've been trying for, and this girl just happened to be listening in. She told me that she had spoken with the vet at this particular practice and he told her that he would not be hiring until this summer. Well, i thought this would be good timing, it would give me time to finish my course and create a decent resume to get the job that I wanted. Well, I come to find out yesterday at work from one of her friends that she has been working there part time since about after the time that I had been talking about the job.

It's probably my own fault for even mentioning it around her, but I honestly did not think that she would stoop so low as to give me false infomation about the practice's hiring to steal away the position. It makes me so mad because I've been working so hard to get my course done in time to be able to make the hiring date and have a completed certificate to show on my resume. Guess it just comes to show that you can't really trust anyone in the work field anymore...

I am sorry to hear that. It would be one thing for you both to apply and she be selected over you, but she didn't even give you a chance. Giving false info like that is wrong. Just remember, what goes around, comes around. If this is the way she operates, it will likely bite her down the road. The best you can do is put this behind you as a lesson learned and move on. Ask the practice if they will have any openings in the future (unless you know this is the only opening). Make sure they know you are interested...

Sorry you got hit with a tough life lesson - but keep your eyes and ears open, something will come available. You may have lost out on your first choice for now but sometimes great experiences come from unexpected places. Best of luck in the future.

I am hoping that something twice as wonderful will await you. This was a dirty deed, but very often the universe works things out for you if you let it and something far better will open up for you!
