So about a week or two ago I started a giveaway here in celebration of passing the third phase of the selection procedure for a job as an air traffic controller, right? Well, when I wanted to close it this weekend, after I had been very busy training for last Monday and Tuesday, when the fourth phase would be (out of six total, but five and six are the easiest), I couldn't find the thread anymore. Not that it matters much now, because it turns out, I fell just outside the cut and didn't make it to the next phase.

Time for a rush to find a new job and education, because if I don't start studying again, I'll have to pay off my debt, and while I have enough money to finish an education, I don't have enough money to simultaneously support myself. And getting a job has proven hard this last year, except for during the summer holidays, and only on jobs I suck at. :/

This is going to be a stressful two weeks, if not year.

Thats an arse mate!

Sorry to hear that. Best o luck though.

and heres the thread: http://www.gog.com/forum/general/giveaway_several_keys_in_celebration/page1

Aww, this sucks. I know that it is very hard to find a good one in the current economy. It just went through the process too and it was long and stressful. So I wish you lots of luck, patience and strength for your job search.

BTW: what kind of traffic controller? If it happens to be train-traffic and you are willing to move to Germany, you could apply with the Deutsche Bahn. They are currently desperately looking for traffic-controllers for the area around Mainz.

I'm really sorry to know that... Best of lucks for you in the next weeks! I hope you can find a job ;)

That's a shame, good luck on your next find!

Think of the bright side, you'll never have to worry about ending up like Donald Margolis from Breaking Bad.

sorry to hear that mate

Sorry to hear that MorphysLaw, good luck on your next job hunting!

Oh, that sucks, man. Sounded like a great job, thousands of lives at your fingertips. Like playing some RTS game in real life. Like in this movie (which was great IMHO):

By the way, do you need the games from the previous giveaway back?

:(

Is it possible to ever try again? (or stressful enough you never want to go through it again?)

Well that is murphys law! but it still sucks. Good luck in the coming weeks and year.

Sorry to hear, MorphysLaw. Best of luck working everything out...and it WILL work out.

Don't give up, mate! Will work out somehow ;)

Sorry to hear that, MorphysLaw.
I don't know but I guess it must have been difficult for everyone else too to get that job.
Maybe you're just unlucky. Don't give up. :)
Good luck, hope you'll get a new job soon.
