Experience: I heard back about a job application 48 years later I remembered anxiously waiting for a reply, the disappointment when it never came – and all the adventures I went on after that letdown.
I remembered the excitement I’d felt when I heard about the listing back in 1976, my days of anxiously waiting for a reply, and the disappointment when it never came.
I worked as a commercial pilot for 10 years, then as a flying instructor, starting my own company, Tiger Airways, with my partner Chris.
The post office apologised for the delay and explained it had been found stuck behind a drawer in the office – the company never received it.
I don’t always understand why things happen, but I do believe they happen for a reason, even if that reason isn’t clear right away – and my lost job application proves that.
