Planet Interactive

As I previously wrote, back in January 2015 I turned down a chance to teach English in Korea and accepted an offer from a CIO at Fidelity. Unfortunately, that CIO left the firm abruptly one month later, which left me unemployed come August. I later learned that he’s now a VP at Biogen. Fast forward to February 2016 when I applied for a PowerPoint specialist job advertised with some agency called Planet Interactive -- once again, I broke my rule of “don’t waste time with staffing agencies!” so I deserved the outcome. Some girl called me and told me the client is Biogen. Well, I said, that’s interesting and I proceeded to tell her how I know a certain VP there. I could probably even get him on the phone if need be. The next week she left me a voicemail, “Unfortunately, Biogen has decided to move in a different direction with the job. But I’ll keep you in mind for any other jobs that arise!” I really wish I had been able to answer her call because I’d really have let her have it. What the fuck does “move in a different direction” mean? Are they moving to India? What a load of garbage. I was very tempted to reach out to that VP about this, but he's probably a very busy man so I didn't. One of these days, I just might reach out to him about this...
