Usually I post an article I've come across or link that I would think you my reader(s) would be interested in but not today. The theme for this post is REJECTION. As someone who definitely wants to be part of this field we call the music industry, I've learned that rejection is behind every corner and comes with the territory. I've also learned that unfortunately once you think you've met someone who is going to help you and perhaps take you under their wings...they aren't. Which is disappointing because these people or individuals will also give you the impression that they will help you, again they're not. I will not name the people whom I thought would help me because for one that is just wrong and second, I wouldn't want to get sued for bashing these individuals and ruining their so-called good name....mainly I don't want to get sued. (And actually I hear the people you meet know many other people who you will meet...so much for a small world.)
Basically I met someone big and even had the chance to volunteer the whole day for this person. I was fortunate that this person than lead me to some other very important people for an interview, which I had no idea would happen, honestly. I met these people, and one of these persons gave me the impression...no said he/she would forward my resume onto someone else and even another person. So I thought great, its finally happening! Yeah right! I later contact these individuals for their summer "jobs" (hint: I don't mean job job; if you're an artist or in a band, what do you do to get your music acknowledged and recognized?) and turns out they're all filled up?! Well, guess what I found out later on from a very good friend of mine who sent me a message on myspace and said "hey isn't this want you're looking for?" In my inbox was a cut and paste of a post from craigslist with the boss of the "job-job" asking for interns who happens to work with the individuals I'm talking about! Basically these people had my resume on file and never gave it to this person! Apparently during the so-called interview I was doing great, or thought I was to be asked to send one of these people a resume via email but they just happened to forget to forward it on to the boss.
Now you're probably thinking I'm whining but I'm really PISSED OFF and disappointed because I felt these people led me on when they should have told me the truth, I know the truth hurts but I'd rather hear the truth than later find out I was lied to...more like betrayed. So kiddies if you think you're the only one not making it or meeting the right people, don't feel left out because even when you meet the right people...their true colors show. Apparently dedication, hard work or even a FUCKING degree can't get you anywhere now can it?
