AND.... I need help. I am FREAKING OUT.....

I had a job interview yesterday, with the hiring manager of the law firm, the VP of marketing. I had already had an hour long interview with the HR Director, and figured the meeting with the VP would focus on different topics, and not on why left each company or what happened in each job, which is what I had covered already with HR.

Well, this VP, the hiring manager, dug into what happened in my last job. He asked me directly, what were you hired to do???? He must have been suspicious about something in order to ask this. My job title doesn't really add up given the responsibilities I ended up with.

So, I had to tell him that I was hired to do a different job than the one I ended up doing. I felt at this point, it was necessary to explain what happened, because he asked a direct question! I was CORNERED!!!!!

So, I ended up divulging that I had been hired to do one job, but had to take a medical leave of absence, and I had to reveal that my doctor had recommended a modified position upon my return! ARGH!!!!!

Then, this VP who was interviewing me, asked what my supervisor's name was - this is the second time I've been asked this in an interview! What was your supervisor's name, as though they wanted to contact my supervisor to ask them about me and what happened there! So I gave him his name and he asked how my relationship was with my supervisor.

We didn't even discuss ANYTHING to do with my qualifications for this job, my interests in working for them, or why I felt I was the right fit!!!! He focused PRIMARILY on this career snaffoo that occurred in my last job and I knew right then and there that was doomed!!!!!

I received a rejection letter 20 minutes after hanging up on the call, after the interview ended. The interview was also scheduled to be an hour.. it lasted a half an hour!

What the heck am I going to do????? Has this last job, a serious hiccup in my career path, going to ruin ALL my chances of getting a job?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?! I am SO UPSET - I couldn't help the fact that I had to take a mental health leave of absence..... my resume otherwise is STELLAR, and I've been told it is a fantastic resume by employers and recruiters....... can't an employer look past one single snafoo in my career path????
