Today, I received a rejection letter from a job I desperately wanted. Yesterday, the job offer I'd been stalling on in while waiting for news about this one expired. FML

Should've just taken the job offer. At least then you would've had a job while you waited.

Never stall on an offer. if you have a job offer that will pay the bills then dont wait for the dream job.

You can always quit a job if you get a job you like more. Apply for everything.

What if the other job required OP to sign a contract, binding her to that job for several years? If that's the case, I can see why OP would wait. Perhaps she can reapply?

Why not apply for both? Unless selection of you as the best candidate was contractually binding. But how often does that happen?

Sorry OP. That's a tough break. I hope you find another job soon.

You always accept the offer if you need it. Then if you get the other job, you can quit. If not, you still have a job! ?

Hindsight is 20-20. But you should have entertained to idea that you wouldn't get your dream job

Shouldn't have stalled. You could always have quit if the better job offer came thru
