Why do you have to feel sad? This just means that you are really for the job. And as for your friend, there is a much better job waiting for her. So you really just have to be happy on what is happening to you. Beside, if you are friends, you still have communication right?

hi angel. first of all i know what you feel but remember this is beyond your control. just be with your friend in finding other jobs i know there are many out there. may i ask what job are you in? if you dont want to reply its okay. congratulations for having one. i myself just finish orientation part and im about to start to work but now to earn my salary.its good to hear the success of other mylotters. dont feel sad because try to imagine if both of you didnt make it then i guess both of oyu are sad. hey i know your friend is happy for you maybe she is not happy but to mend this. help her to find other jobs. she will appreciate it a lot i know.gud day here in mylot.

Know how to handle and manage your achievements. The job is not for her and that is a good sign because she might be better off with another company and besides if both of you were considered by the company, most likely , you won't have time for each other anymore because of work related issues and if both of you are going to work in the same department, your friendship would be put to a test and most likely slowly be enstrange to one another. Anyway, whether she was hired or not you are still friends.And be reminded that if you feel that way with your success then better think twice because opportunity only knocks once, be happy for yourself, it is not bad, do not feel guilty or else your success might be taken away from you.This reality, my dear, this is how life goes, let it go, for your sake.your friend can take care of herself, you are not her keeper.

Congrats on your new job! Im sure your just disappointed about your friend and once that goes away you will be very happy about your job. Maybe your friend can try again somewhere down the road. Good luck to both of you.

congradulations on your new job,sorry to hear that your friend didnt get it but sometimes in life things work out for a reason,you have a terric heart towards your friend and your friend will find another job,right now you have to think of all your expenses and maybe your friend can work there later on,but in a way its good she didnt get it because you dont want to mix a job with your great frienship you guys have.a frienship like that is beautiful.so just smile and everything will be fine.take care.pattie

I think you should be happy with what you have. It's not so great that your friend didn't get it too, but there will be other people you will get along with, and your friend will find something else.

That is very kind of you, Angel, and I hope your friend knows how lucky she is to have a friend like you! I think I can understand how you feel, but my advice would be to try to keep an open mind and positive attitude about your new job...(Congrats, by the way!) Also, I hope there are no hard feelings as far as your friend goes. There shouldn't be, but put yourself in her place, would you be a bit envious or just happy for her? Gosh, that certainly wasn't a very helpful thing to say, now was it? I guess what I'm trying to say is for you to be sure to keep the communication between the two of your very open and honest. And, I wish you the best of luck with your new job, good ones aren't so easy to find! Annie
