What's the proper way to ask why you weren't considered for a job? I applied for a position I think I was a pretty darn good fit for and spent days crafting and polishing the best cover letter I've ever written. I know two of the members of the hiring committee, both of whom have heaped praise of me for the work I've done. With all that I figured I had to be a top candidate. However, I was totally dumbfounded yesterday when I got an email that they offered the position to someone else and I didn't even get an interview. Certainly I want to find out why I wasn't considered for this job but I've applied for so many jobs over the last couple years I thought I would be great for and can't even get an interview it makes me wonder if there's something out there that's scares people off. I've googled my name and all that comes up is obituaries of relatives and stuff my college baseball career. I've gotten 2 speeding tickets, both over 10 years ago, but no criminal record. After being a stay at home parent for 6 years there's a big gap in my work history which I could see as being a detriment. But I filled that time volunteering with a few different organizations and taking leadership roles with them and include that on my resume. So basically, how can I approach the people I know on the committee without sounding angry or bitter about it (even though I am, by the way)?

Hopefully I'm wrong but he feels like Scooter Gennett to me. Plucky, young guy comes up on fire and becomes a fan favorite before crashing down into futility. -
He was out by a good amount. I don't think any amount of trying harder would have made him safe. Almost seems like the manager is throwing a player under the bus to protect his third base coach. Which is stupid because every fan hates their team's third base coach.

Sports Illustrated has totally gone down the toilet. I've been a subscriber for about 20 years and I always look forward to the preview issues. At one time they were awesome with each team getting a 2 page spread and a breakdown of the whole roster. They've slowly become less and less every year and this year's MLB preview is by far the worst. Each DIVISION gets a few paragraphs and the analysis is terrible as whoever wrote them has apparently only ever heard of batting average and ERA. Of course, the 2023 NFL season has it's own multipage preview in the same issue because why not.

Depends. If a Cardinal did this, then no. Otherwise, probably.
-
Umps are in midseason form already.
-
Voit's trade return is nothing. He was available for practically nothing all offseason and even in to spring training before he signed here.
-
Seems like everyone except the Ravens are interested in Jackson this offseason.
-
The whole tax system is a joke. When I was in college my mom claimed me as a dependent so she could take a big deduction because there was some flooding in the city where I was going to school so I technically lived there. Nevermind the flooding was nowhere near the school and happened over the summer when I wasn't even there.
-
No. But I don't care about any college sports even the tiniest bit.
-
Don't the Jets have some pretty good young receivers? Are they going to let ARod push them into signing a has been and a never was to take snaps away from them?
-
MLB Free Agency: Star players stay on the market for months, even past the start of spring training. NFL Free Agency: Every player is signed before they are even legally allowed to.
-
Wouldn't it make more sense to get a 2024 first round pick? If Love bombs you can package both 2024 picks and move up to get the QB you want or if the whole team tanks be in a spot to draft that guy without a trade.

It's not like the NFC North is chock full of talent right now. The Vikings won with smoke and mirrors last year and have a merely average QB on the downside of his career with a terrible defense. The Lions appear to be on the rise but who knows who Jared Goff really is. And they too feel like a team that really overachieved last year and I could totally see them only winning 5 or 6 games next year, getting Campbell fired, and starting over again. The Bears are the real wildcard long term. They've got the cap space to go crazy and Fields could be something special, as long as he stays healthy but that coaching staff looks like they're determined to end his career before it even starts. Unless Love is a total flop I don't think the Packers are destined for disgrace the next few years. More likely they're a team that's good enough to win the division most years because of the weak division but ultimately lose in the first round.

There's a lot of difficult conversations you have to have with your children - death, sex, drugs, etc. and you're never fully prepared for how to handle it. My 6 year old asked me to explain to him what space is. That was by far most the difficult conversation I've had so far.
-
Wasn't Favre's situation all about him going back and forth on retiring? I don't remember there being talk about him going to another team until he wanted to come back after retiring and the Packers had already moved on. That was 15 years ago so I could be wrong.
-
Carr to the Saints. Which proves, if anything, that the salary cap is pointless and only an idiot front office can't figure out ways around it.
-
This doesn't seem at all like a situation where the team desperately wants to keep the player but the player wants to leave. If Rodgers told the FO to trade him to whatever team he wanted I don't think they could pick up the phone fast enough to get it done.
-
You could pretty much extend all of their top prospects for less than it would cost to sign Burnes alone.
-
I have no idea why the Packers want to deal with Rodgers anymore. Just trade him and move on. It's not like he's 30 and has a decade left to play. He's only playing for another a year or two anyway so just go ahead and get a head start on finding your next QB.
-
What about Willy makes people think he's a top flight SS? I mean he's certainly good but in no way do I see him as a guy you pay up to hold on to.
-
Watching spring training games and everyone is bundled up in jackets and hats because OMG it's 60 degrees outside! I get it but still.
-
Anyone use any of these meal kit services? Do they really eliminate "food waste"? I'm not sure what's so hard about eating your leftovers. From the bits you see in the commercial they look like they create a lot of real waste with everything wrapped in plastic. And I'm sure they are shipped in some sort of insulated container with cold packs that probably often end up in the garbage too.
-
Do we really need another "article" about this? The horse is beyond dead.

I did it once in my life about 10 years ago. I got the job. Maybe it made the difference but I doubt it. Haven't done it for any of the hundreds of interviews I've had since.
