@@mladyyoureapeasant6958 I'm going to actually answer this one... It doesn't matter... Literally, no one gives a shit about your GPA in High school... No one. No job that requires a high school degree only cares. The only reason you should ever worry about the High School GPA Is for application to College. And if your GPA is bas in high school, act the ACT and your fine.
@@mladyyoureapeasant6958 No one (for a job or otherwise) has ever asked me what my grades were win high school after I graduated high school. It matters for getting into post-secondary school. Try to get good grades for two reasons: 1. Because you will learn more and benefit from the knowledge you gain. 2. Because you may want to attend post-secondary school in a few years even if you do not want to now.
Honestly! The question you asked in the video zapped me out of my mind set and I was questioning why am I ruminating over the rejection? I think it also sort of made me realised it’s important to stay detached from the result and keep working on.
This discussion was helpful. I have been through many interviews and was not "the one." I take from this video that asking for feedback after the fact is a futile strategy. Am I right?
What is very hard to take is when you did everything right in the interview and were more than capable of doing the job and they still didn't want you.
I totally get it. I had an interview round with the CEO of a company, the HR later informed me there’s two news. The great news was that the ceo liked me and kind of picked me already. But the bad news was that there’s an internal issue that just came up and they need to hold the hiring process. I spent my whole week energy to prepare them the best presentation and research to ace the interview and that’s the response I got.
I got rejected by a company who took me through several rounds and then an onsite. They were ghosting me, I asked for a follow up and then the recruiter gave me a rejection. They cited a technical certification that I didn't have. Well, I ended up pursuing that certification and getting it. I got a better job with another company.
I just received news that I wasn’t chosen for the job that I really wanted. I immediately went to YT to search for ways to get over it. YT did not disappoint. Thank you for this. I might still be crying but that’s just my hurt ego. I have another job that I’m interviewing for so I’m going to do my best to focus on that.
Freshly rejected today, I was more experienced compared to the other candidate, but at the end of the day, it all comes down to money. I'm glad I did not compromise on my value, it's very much their loss as they will learn one day that experience comes with a price.
I'm glad I've stumbled across this. I was rejected from a dream job 2 days ago. It hurt so bad that I cried, what's worse is that the interviews took a month, even worse that I'm unemployed and have to get a sustainable job soon. I'll keep moving forward like you said, my time will come some day.
I just got a call from the employer and said I didn't get the job. I had to go through multiple interviews and exams, which took a month too. I did my best yet I wasn't fortunate to get the job. It hurts to hear the news but I have no choice but to move on
@@logicthat5591Your time will come, I recently got a position at the company I previously applied for :), as time passes you get closer to your goal no matter what
I m in the same situation no job ,no money .I had 3 rejection from other companies but I know what I did wrong there in the interview and k wasn’t happy with them either so I didn’t had this pain but recently I had interview for a job that I m waiting to have the experience from years and finally that opportunity came …I had all the interviews I been not good I been very good a little nervous on my first interview but I handle it . The interviews been for 3 weeks I had my last one on Monday begging of this week Friday they called me to tell me how good I was 🤔and all feedbacks mostly positive only that I had one thing that all Other candidates did and I didn’t mentioned team work !!!!! Where for this job that I applied it’s obvious that it’s about team work no need to mention it we all know ,and that was on second and 3rd interview why you called me for the last one that has nothing to do with the team work … i was 💯 sure that I m gonna take this job 😢 I cried a lot I feel That I m a failure I m disappointed and I m trying to keep Myself strong …
I found out two days ago that I was not picked for a job that I really wanted. This video helped me a lot! Made me feel much better! Thank you for sharing it!
I can answer the question because many companies have a crappy work environments, pay and benefits and this one didn't. This one checked all the boxes for me. I apply to hundreds of jobs but rarely get excited about any of them. The one I really wanted was the one I was rejected by. I've also landed jobs, most that I was not excited and it's a miserable existence hence why I back to searching again. So in short I didn't land the one I actually wanted
Rejection is painful, and there is no way around that. Life contains suffering, and there is no way around that. The only solution is resilience and persistence. And bear in mind those rejected are all in good company. At first the Beatles were rejected, the Harry Potter book was rejected … huge majority of extremely successful people have had to face rejection and business failure and so on. Just have to press on. And whilst rejection is painful and one has to always think about self-improvement, I suggest try not to take it too personally. Everyone faces rejection. Everyone. Even someone high up in the company you are applying to maybe were rejected in relation to some other job elsewhere they wanted or didn’t get some promotion within the company. Nobody escapes this. You have to mentally deal with it. Remember, the reality is, even the person doing the rejecting, the entire interviewing panel, would themselves have faced rejection in the past. Move on, press on … eventually it will work out. Good luck people!
Natalie, thank you so much for this perspective and for making this video. I went through a nerve-wrecking week repeating the scenarios in my head while waiting for an update as they mentioned they would, and I even waited for another week to follow up via email, (another addition to my already long list of things to be anxious about lol). Now after watching your video, I have come to terms that a no answer/no reply is an answer in itself and I made peace with the fact that I was not chosen. The fact alone that I got that far is a victory in itself, and now I feel very much lighter. So thank you. Thank you so much. I wish you the best and all my fellow job hunters out there, let's keep goin! We only fail when we stop. I pray all of us gets the job we love and deserve. Thank you. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah.
my lesson is: find happiness withing yourself and create your own sustainable business (self love) dont look for validation like a junkie (next job/hit)
1 min in & I just subscribed! I received a rejection email this morning & have been crying so disappointed & upset w/ myself but seeing your video is making me feel better.
Great video! I applied for a position at an organization that I previously worked for, and I thought I was a perfect match. I met all the qualifications. However, I was getting job offers from other places while they told me they were still interviewing in the first of two rounds, after my interview took place a month prior. I told them my excitement and interest, and that I needed to know their hiring decision by the deadline I was expected to respond to a job offer. They basically told me they wouldn’t want me to miss out on an opportunity while the review “all viable applicants.” At this point, I felt that they did not want me, so I acknowledged that they have major changes since top leaders were leaving their organization, and I wished them well in finding their new team. At this point I withdrew my application to focus on places that valued me and respected my time.
Got rejected today. I can't understand. I've been working as a clerk for the last 4 1/2 years. I answer every questions. I know the job of the administrative technician because I've been a support to her during those years. She retired and now the job was open. I went to the interview and today I learned that it didn't work. They told me that I had a good interview but they wanted new blood. But they proceeded to tell me I didn't have enough experience....I've been in the organization for almost 5 years... But they had the guts to tell me that I would have to help the new technician. They also told me that they thought I was too fragile. Too much stress. They know I have anxiety disorder but it's under control. Never had a panic attack at my job. It's the biggest slap in the face I ever received. Now I have to face them every day and do like everything is ok. I'm so frustrated right now. I feel like a clown. I feel used. I don't understand.
Thank you so much for this video, Natalie. You made my day. It has been a week since I finished an internship that was supposed to end with a full-time offer. I thought I did everything perfectly well and received a lot of compliments from senior managers, but on the day of the offer, I was told they couldn't offer me a full-time position. I have never been so crushed by rejection in my life. It messed me up mentally and emotionally. I left my established job for the new opportunity and gave it my all because I found purpose in what I was doing. For once, I felt like I belonged and had found a company where I could grow personally and professionally; I guess I was wrong and delusional. Thank you for this fantastic video. I am ready to take the offer I have on the table now and move on.
Wow thank you so much Natalie, got a rejection today but watching your video has made me feel so much better and feel that they didn’t deserve me anyway! You’re a star!
You explained it such beautifully.. I was having lot of anxiety since morning. It has been 5 hours since I am struggling to get over the rejection that I just got from my dream job. But your thoughts have said some of the major understandable things about rejection snd how to recover from it
Finally someone speaking common sense! I personally HATE rejection letters and I have no idea why people widely seem to complain that they don't receive them. Unless I have actually interviewed with them, the only thing I want to see is when are you available for an interview? Anything else is irrelevant imo. I also would not want to work for a company that doesn't see my value or that I have to chase them for a reply. They've told me all I need to know.
Hi Natalie. I can’t thank you enough for this video. The company that I used to work for came back for me and it felt like the opportunity that I always wanted was finally falling into place. Met the CEO and CCO and shook hands on the position. Over the next few weeks the communication became very scarce and I couldn’t get a straight answer back from them. A new hiring manager came on board in the meantime and she just called me this morning and told me that she doesn’t think I’m the right person for the role so they won’t be hiring me. I have been completely crushed all day but this process has eroded my trust in them and if this is the way they treat people then I don’t want to work for them. Thank you for showing me that they don’t deserve me and to keep my head up and stay hopeful for fantastic opportunities to come. I probably dodged a bullet which I am slowly starting to come to terms with.
I am too sensitive for the interview process 😢 this happened to me an hour ago. They even said they went back and forth and that it was an extremely difficult decision for them. I felt that. They want to stay in touch for a future role.
Blessings in disguise, a couple weeks after a started an interview process at one of my dream companies. I even wrote that i wanted to work there in my journal last summer. I have been at my new job for 5 months and it's the BEST job (in every way) i've ever had. Thanks and I hope all is well with you
Thanks for this video, it helped this week i felt annoyed at being rejected, keep moving on there are other companies in the future that company could come back to you and you would have the power to say NO!!
I came across your video and I feel like it intentionally came to me. Your words saved me from spiraling to depression arising from the vagueness of my pile of rejection letters. Thank you. So much.
"You didn't really want it bad enough" is what some of us heard in parts of this video. It's hard to let go when you spend nights researching and they throw a curveball when you were taught to practice for every other pitch because Glassdoor or other career sites (or videos like this) said so.
Wow. This video was incredibly helpful. I went through something similar last year and even though I now work for an employer that I truly love and makes me feel appreciated, I am still struggling to get over the rejection from what I thought was my dream job.
👍🏼 Great video I always look at it like someone you want to be with but doesn't feel the same as you. You can keep trying being with them but the truth is, it is pointless to keep thinking and being exited about them as your future partner if they don't have the same feelings for you as you have for them. Thank you very much for the beautiful reminder
So glad my video made you laugh!! I love it. Keep going my friend and join me over on the podcast if you enjoyed this video I have a lot more to share and I can connect on a deeper level with you on the podcast podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/get-a-6-figure-job-you-love/id1522315419
@@NatalieFisher Thank you so much Natalie for responding. I got a rejection call today and surprisingly I took it really well thanks to your video, I’m disappointed but unmoved. I have already started to listen to your podcast and genuinely enjoying them.
8:40 and on is the most passive aggressive bs ever. Most candidates who go through 3 steps in the interview deserve at least a no from HR or any other person from the company as the candidate expressed so much time and energy through their interest in the role.
this is really amazing, thank you so much! I just had an interview where I think I blew it. I really feel like I am not smart enough because of the case study they were giving. I really thought I did well, but at the end of the interview they said I need to improve A LOT on analytical skills. man.. that was harsh.. thanks to this video, I'm really gonna learn a new perspective to approach this matter
When I get the email after an interview that states " not the right fit, we found a candidate that had more of what we were looking for in experience." It makes me mad. They should have just skipped my resume. I put so much time and energy into practicing and preparing for interviews.
I was really upset that I did not get the offer. I invested six months in five rounds of interviews, and everything went pretty smoothly. I couldn't accept the fact that I was rejected in the last round. But here I am, feeling a bit better now.
I have been working for this company for over 5years and have tossed myself into it and gone above and beyond to be the best and learn as much as possible. In the past year I have started exploring other career opportunities within that company and no matter how many positions I apply for or interviews I have- it just does not work out (and they were all jobs that I was qualified for). This last one though... it hit so much harder than the others because my current boss is retiring and she even recommended me for the position but they ended up giving a second interview to a woman that i trained and mentored... and I already know that she is not computer savvy enough to do the job. So- I was sitting here just so beyond all sense and logic because I came into this company with so much experience and hold such a strong performance record- I just lost all faith in my abilities as a person. Nothing anyone has said to me has touched that darkness that I dived into. I just wanted to let you know that I found your video and it really resonated with me. I think that I have been trying so hard all of these years and I just wanted this last job application to validate my efforts because I know that I deserve more that what they are giving me. Applying for jobs is like fishing... you know the bait you have is fresh and the fish want it... but if you keep casting your line out in the same area and you dont get any bites- it's time to move on to the next spot.
This video really helped me- after 3 rounds of interviews I expected an offer but instead got ghosted. I have another round of interviews today for a different job at a different company and instead of thinking about being rejected for what I thought was my dream job, I plan to place my focus on today’s interview and moving forward. Because seriously- do I really want to work for a company that doesn’t want to hire me? What she said was spot on- thanks for a great video!
Thank you for the great perspective. I was rejected by Boeing today after what appeared to me that everyone loved me during the interview which was a 7 member panel. So they encouraged me to apply for other roles and I did. But what you’re saying is true and you’re making me reconsider myself.
What if there is hardly any company that wants me and then I don't want to work for them? It is not about a single company but 99.9 percent of companies I wanted?
Thank you Natalie, I learnt operating from this perspective all through lockdown, and I finally get to view this on youtube. A big thank you for this. However, I am still looking for a fulltime job and it is really been difficult for me to get that one till now.
Your first comment was spot on. I only wanted the money at the job that just turned me down. The place sounded chaotic which is why the process took 3 months. My current employer pays well below market wage but I have it figured out.
Natalie is full of useful advice - this video is great for not taking rejections too personally - it is so easy to do, but not at all helpful moving forward!
Natalie seems like a VERY nice person and I'm often worried that I'm being a bit to hard on her in comments. But honestly, she seems kind of clueless and sheltered also. Constantly telling everyone that something is only a problem if they make it a problem is disingenuous and kind of insulting.
"God will bless those who are rejected right in front of people who rejected!" All success stories have 1000s of rejection... Still they didn't loose hope n moved on..... Moving on and trying is quintessential in life but one needs God to support, to wipe tears n encourage as well...!! Be positive ... Somewhere your dreams are fructifying for a better n higher self but it is invisible right now!!
It's either an individual (or individuals) in the company making the decision, or watch the video "Getting interviews but no job offers" Which explains what could be going on within the company as to why they may not be moving forward. Thanks for the comment!
@@NatalieFisher I re-read my comment and thought "Oh wow, that is my first ever job rejection ever in all of my professional years" which if you think about is actually really cool? Mama raise no bitch so Imma keep my head up high and take this as sort of an award or a lesson, rather than an attack on who I am. Thanks for the podcast link.
I’ve been in corporate recruiting for over 20 years. An initial rejection by one manager within a large organization does not mean that every hiring leader within that organization does not want to extend a job offer to you. I’ve seen dozens of job offers be extended to silver medalist candidates (first runner up candidates) and sometimes even the bronze medalist candidate. I do agree that it’s a good idea to explore other organizations that might be a better fit. However, it’s probably not a good idea to immediately dismiss a potential employer based on one or even two decisions to not hire you. There can be several reasons for a company not selecting someone for a job. A couple of reasons include: another candidate interviewed better, meaning their answers may have been more concise and articulated better. Another reason is that they offered a job to a very qualified internal candidate who has been vying for the same position for several years.
I had an interview round with the CEO, the HR later informed me there’s two news. The great news was that the ceo liked me and kind of picked me already. But the bad news was that there’s an internal issue that just came up and they need to hold the hiring process. I spent my whole week energy to prepare them the best presentation and research to ace the interview and that’s the response I got.
Like, there must be signs for internal issues. Why not solve those before seeking for people? It’s exhausting for everyone. I put my time and effort in it. It’s so draining
I have had very bad experiences.I ask for a job, they write up my number, and then they do not call me back the next day.Or my application gets ignored and staff in shop ignore me and pretend like nothing has happened.I get reassurances that I would get a job, and 3 years later I ask why I did not get a job I get rude responses and Insults from staff.It really hurts.I am tired from this behaviour.
I just got rejected from my dream job. Luckily the hiring manager said I could not have done anything better and that they totally see me as a good fit for the position and the company. I could hear it in his voice that he really was dissapoinred to not get be on board. Another candidate just beat me to it with more experience in the field. The manager said he would like to keep contact and wants to make sure I stick around in case it doesn’t work out with the hired person. Or even give me another position (as a freelancer) to still be in the company at the same time. What would your advice be? Does it often occur that a hired person in a job position doesn’t work out and that they reach out to second candidates? Or does this never happen?
Why work for a company that doesn't want you? Perhaps it's really just one person in that one company who doesn't want you around though your skillset matches what they need? Or how about the hiring manager be obligated to also bring in others on their team to make sure their bias isn't isolated? Or perhaps you have financial obligations like a family, rent/mortgages, etc. so you take the PTSD-like abuse for a paycheck knowing your family is OK? Or are we at fault for merely existing and needing a job in the first place?
Hi, I had this interview and it didnt go so well because I was nervous. and they emailed me that they wont go through with my application but the next day the HR personnel called me up if I am still interested and set me up for a second interview because the person who interviewed me want to reconsider my application. I actually dont know what to feel.
Some of us would love a rejection notice right now, as many videos and sites say wait at least 24 hours so that we "don't look desperate" even though there are quite many unemployed folks out there right now.
very good points. even at the top of my game an opportunity failed.. would drop an email but realisitcally its like a relationship. move on, grow in your own way that didnt involved that particular team and see what is ahead of the road? its not bad just an opportunity that was missed, could have been nice but never bad because the amazing experience you have next year wouldnt have been possible if you "GOT" the gig. Lifes long, take it opportunities if they are presented and imo present yourself more and say less.
I’m in my final year of university and have been applying for 7 months now. I’ve reached the final rounds with 4 top companies and end up missing out each time due to changes in the company, layoffs, or them hiring only 1 person when they interviewed 10. it’s getting close to my graduation date and I still don’t have a role, I’ll keep trying but it’s becoming depressing :(
I am a dynamic person who has so much to offer, and even when all my skills align, I can't even get a damn interview. 6 months of this, and I am feeling beat up and exhausted. ready to quit.
Im just interested in landing the interview at this point. I've applied to over 100 positions since November of last year, and during that time, there was not one interview that happened.
I don’t wanna speak on behalf of a lot of the people in the comments but I think 1 of the worst things is when it’s a job you have applied for before. And had at least say 2 or 3 Nos and then someone else comes along gets the yes 1st time. It’s like is there something wrong With me ? 😞 am I doing things incorrectly ? Should I change my work path ?
I didn't apply to a company who didn't want me. I only found out they didn't want me because I applied. And after applying to dozens of companies and being told no, it is hard to imagine there is a magical company for me out there. It must be nice to have loads of options, but I do not have that luxury so it is not exactly east to skip away from each interview with a smile on my face. And while we are at it, it can be useful to get information on your rejection, maybe you did something wrong, maybe they can offer advice. Maybe you can make a connection. If you do not follow up you do not have that chance. Following up for months is silly, but once or twice shows initiative, I have gotten jobs before because I was the only one chasing it up. Also you are incorrect about HR. They may not like rejecting people, but it is their job, we can't just not do our jobs because we don't enjoy it. The real reason HR do not get back to candidates is because they don't have to, that is all. The only advice you need to give people is that life is not fair, do not expect it to be. All you can do is focus on what is under your control, your application and your behaviour. The rest is up to the employer and they hold all the cards, even some you can't see. So if you think you met all the criteria for the job, there is likely some stuff you aren't allowed to see (and maybe they aren't allowed to show you) that come into play. You DO need to move on. But don't do it with a warm smug smile that you have in some way gained from a rejection, like you and the company just aren't compatible or hat they 'didn't want you' it is in no way personal (most of the time) it is just a business decision. The best thing you can do is take it that you aren't right for them right now and that you should move on to your other opportunities.
I appreciate the insights offered here. I disagree about the ghosting. Applicants deserve closure. If applicants are brave enough to put themselves out there then HR folks need to be brave enough to let them know they didn’t get the position. It is just plain rude.
I think I'll get rejected from my dream job on like 2 days. I know it. I know i could have done things better. I know getting that job would have made my dreams happen 2 years earlier. Ik i will grive when they send the mail in 2 days but something in me tells me I'll be okay if i work hard for my dream. As long as in don't lose sight of it... I'll be okay. But it's okay to grive for it too. But to get back up is what is needed. 💪
I was so excited for a job, i lost words as the interview was in English My mother tongue language is Arabic, i can write & read with English in a good way, i always get ready with a specific words, but i don’t practice talking with English alot so i get lost in the words and so i get tejected I have sevetal years of experience & i’m very good learner, but still cannot express all my experience & willing to learn during the interview
If a company isn't not hiring you, it is more about you not being as good of a fit to the position as the other candidate that got the job. The other candidate might have tonnes more experience and broader skillsets. The company isn't nessesarily saying they don't want you, they are saying you weren't better than the other candidate. But if a company is ghosting people, even after reaching out. Then i'd say that no, i wouldn't like to work for that company. They have effectivly told me that they either don't have the ability to manage their hiring process well enough to save face (as in brand company reputation and professionality). Or that they don't care enough to send and email through a mail group that informs the other candidates that they didn't get the job, and thanking them. Which is devaluing and indifference to probably their employees as well.
Im waiting for the company’s response 😅 that I really liked. Felt like they want to higher me but it’s a big organisation and maybe they would rather higher internally. Basically I’m trying to prepare myself for a rejection already, in case if happens. Though I know I still will be disappointed ((( it’s hard but at least videos like this can help a bit
I was rejected because they want a different personality. I was qualified and passed the tests ansd when i went to the interview i was a bit nervous in the beginning. So it was noticeable that i was nervous. But then i felt better and had more time to clarify what i said when i was nervous and talked more about myself. :( yet they rejected me. It hurtsssss cuz i cant change that about my personality.
What would you like to be feeling in the interview instead of nervous? Why do you think you can't change your nervousness in an interview? All my clients go from Nervous to Confident it is a matter of changing your mindset. I know that you can do it too.
@@NatalieFisher thanks for replying! 💗 and yes I believe i can too. Im always confident but sometimes get unexpectedly soo anxious aghh frustrating! but yeah i need to check your other videos. I literally googled “i got rejected from my job” and found your video while I was upset and crying lol i feel better now haha
@@NatalieFisher There is another career coach on RUclips that encourage reapplying continually to a company that rejected you many times. Even if the job stays posted it reposted. He said even call and ask why. Recruiters don't answer calls and will answer generically via email.
What a self righteous point of view regarding companies not responding. HR expects candidates to act by the highest social norms but does not apply these standards to themselves. There is no justification for that and there is also not two ways of looking at it - its disrespectful.
By "moving on" to find a company that actually wants you, I can only interpret that as moving on to another country. I have beaten my brains out for over 35 years, trying to start a career in engineering in the United States. Moving on must mean moving on to Russia, Western Europe, Canada, or some country where the hiring decision is not made on an irrational basis. The most common response I have heard is, "We had an overwhelming number of applicants for this job". Sometimes they refer to an overwhelming number of qualified or "highly qualified" applicants. When I have at least managed to get interviews, they say I do not talk enough. Hopefully I will soon have interviews where I talk in a language that few Americans can understand. That is poetic justice.

I love thinking up new Analogies to explain things! Glad it was useful! ❤
@@mladyyoureapeasant6958 I'm going to actually answer this one...
It doesn't matter...
Literally, no one gives a shit about your GPA in High school... No one.
No job that requires a high school degree only cares.
The only reason you should ever worry about the High School GPA Is for application to College. And if your GPA is bas in high school, act the ACT and your fine.
@@mladyyoureapeasant6958 No one (for a job or otherwise) has ever asked me what my grades were win high school after I graduated high school. It matters for getting into post-secondary school. Try to get good grades for two reasons:
1. Because you will learn more and benefit from the knowledge you gain.
2. Because you may want to attend post-secondary school in a few years even if you do not want to now.
Honestly! The question you asked in the video zapped me out of my mind set and I was questioning why am I ruminating over the rejection? I think it also sort of made me realised it’s important to stay detached from the result and keep working on.
This discussion was helpful. I have been through many interviews and was not "the one." I take from this video that asking for feedback after the fact is a futile strategy. Am I right?
What is very hard to take is when you did everything right in the interview and were more than capable of doing the job and they still didn't want you.
Feeling this today.
Two years of feeling this way.
Me right now😢
Feeling this today

I got rejected by a company who took me through several rounds and then an onsite. They were ghosting me, I asked for a follow up and then the recruiter gave me a rejection. They cited a technical certification that I didn't have. Well, I ended up pursuing that certification and getting it. I got a better job with another company.
Love the comeback! There’s always a better place!
This is like when you are in love with someone who doesn't love you back and doesn't want to be with you, but you live in hope anyway.
Yes same thing applies for sure
I love this analogy
I just received news that I wasn’t chosen for the job that I really wanted. I immediately went to YT to search for ways to get over it. YT did not disappoint. Thank you for this. I might still be crying but that’s just my hurt ego. I have another job that I’m interviewing for so I’m going to do my best to focus on that.
Freshly rejected today, I was more experienced compared to the other candidate, but at the end of the day, it all comes down to money. I'm glad I did not compromise on my value, it's very much their loss as they will learn one day that experience comes with a price.
I'm glad I've stumbled across this. I was rejected from a dream job 2 days ago. It hurt so bad that I cried, what's worse is that the interviews took a month, even worse that I'm unemployed and have to get a sustainable job soon. I'll keep moving forward like you said, my time will come some day.
Hope you found that job x
I just got a call from the employer and said I didn't get the job. I had to go through multiple interviews and exams, which took a month too. I did my best yet I wasn't fortunate to get the job. It hurts to hear the news but I have no choice but to move on
mee too bro, spent hours on the assignment and multiple rounds of interviews. Failed in the final round.
@@logicthat5591Your time will come, I recently got a position at the company I previously applied for :), as time passes you get closer to your goal no matter what
I m in the same situation no job ,no money .I had 3 rejection from other companies but I know what I did wrong there in the interview and k wasn’t happy with them either so I didn’t had this pain but recently I had interview for a job that I m waiting to have the experience from years and finally that opportunity came …I had all the interviews I been not good I been very good a little nervous on my first interview but I handle it . The interviews been for 3 weeks I had my last one on Monday begging of this week Friday they called me to tell me how good I was 🤔and all feedbacks mostly positive only that I had one thing that all
Other candidates did and I didn’t mentioned team work !!!!! Where for this job that I applied it’s obvious that it’s about team work no need to mention it we all know ,and that was on second and 3rd interview why you called me for the last one that has nothing to do with the team work … i was 💯 sure that I m gonna take this job 😢 I cried a lot I feel
That I m a failure I m disappointed and I m trying to keep
Myself strong …
I found out two days ago that I was not picked for a job that I really wanted. This video helped me a lot! Made me feel much better! Thank you for sharing it!
You are welcome! Glad it helped!
I can answer the question because many companies have a crappy work environments, pay and benefits and this one didn't. This one checked all the boxes for me. I apply to hundreds of jobs but rarely get excited about any of them. The one I really wanted was the one I was rejected by. I've also landed jobs, most that I was not excited and it's a miserable existence hence why I back to searching again. So in short I didn't land the one I actually wanted
Yes, I always go into interviews with ZERO passion because I ALWAYS end up securing those roles. I go in with a mindset that I will get rejected.
Yes, 100% yes this MsJae. I just got rejected from a job like that,it checked all the boxes for me and it's a no :(
Rejection is painful, and there is no way around that. Life contains suffering, and there is no way around that. The only solution is resilience and persistence. And bear in mind those rejected are all in good company. At first the Beatles were rejected, the Harry Potter book was rejected … huge majority of extremely successful people have had to face rejection and business failure and so on.
Just have to press on. And whilst rejection is painful and one has to always think about self-improvement, I suggest try not to take it too personally. Everyone faces rejection. Everyone. Even someone high up in the company you are applying to maybe were rejected in relation to some other job elsewhere they wanted or didn’t get some promotion within the company.
Nobody escapes this. You have to mentally deal with it.
Remember, the reality is, even the person doing the rejecting, the entire interviewing panel, would themselves have faced rejection in the past.
Move on, press on … eventually it will work out.
Good luck people!
Thanks 😊
Great advice thanks
Natalie, thank you so much for this perspective and for making this video. I went through a nerve-wrecking week repeating the scenarios in my head while waiting for an update as they mentioned they would, and I even waited for another week to follow up via email, (another addition to my already long list of things to be anxious about lol). Now after watching your video, I have come to terms that a no answer/no reply is an answer in itself and I made peace with the fact that I was not chosen. The fact alone that I got that far is a victory in itself, and now I feel very much lighter. So thank you. Thank you so much. I wish you the best and all my fellow job hunters out there, let's keep goin! We only fail when we stop. I pray all of us gets the job we love and deserve. Thank you.
Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah.
my lesson is: find happiness withing yourself and create your own sustainable business (self love) dont look for validation like a junkie (next job/hit)
Yes nailed it. Don't outsource your validation to someone else
1 min in & I just subscribed! I received a rejection email this morning & have been crying so disappointed & upset w/ myself but seeing your video is making me feel better.
Great video! I applied for a position at an organization that I previously worked for, and I thought I was a perfect match. I met all the qualifications. However, I was getting job offers from other places while they told me they were still interviewing in the first of two rounds, after my interview took place a month prior. I told them my excitement and interest, and that I needed to know their hiring decision by the deadline I was expected to respond to a job offer. They basically told me they wouldn’t want me to miss out on an opportunity while the review “all viable applicants.” At this point, I felt that they did not want me, so I acknowledged that they have major changes since top leaders were leaving their organization, and I wished them well in finding their new team. At this point I withdrew my application to focus on places that valued me and respected my time.
Got rejected today. I can't understand. I've been working as a clerk for the last 4 1/2 years. I answer every questions. I know the job of the administrative technician because I've been a support to her during those years. She retired and now the job was open. I went to the interview and today I learned that it didn't work. They told me that I had a good interview but they wanted new blood. But they proceeded to tell me I didn't have enough experience....I've been in the organization for almost 5 years... But they had the guts to tell me that I would have to help the new technician. They also told me that they thought I was too fragile. Too much stress. They know I have anxiety disorder but it's under control. Never had a panic attack at my job. It's the biggest slap in the face I ever received. Now I have to face them every day and do like everything is ok. I'm so frustrated right now. I feel like a clown. I feel used. I don't understand.
Apply here: nataliefisher.ca/schedulecall/
We can work it out together!
Since this was a year ago, I hope you have found a new job. This company sounds as if they do not appreciate you.
Any updates?
I am sorry
Oh what a slap in a face to ask you to train the new hire.
Dating and Job searching is very similar
Agreed!
Thank you so much for this video, Natalie. You made my day. It has been a week since I finished an internship that was supposed to end with a full-time offer. I thought I did everything perfectly well and received a lot of compliments from senior managers, but on the day of the offer, I was told they couldn't offer me a full-time position. I have never been so crushed by rejection in my life. It messed me up mentally and emotionally. I left my established job for the new opportunity and gave it my all because I found purpose in what I was doing. For once, I felt like I belonged and had found a company where I could grow personally and professionally; I guess I was wrong and delusional. Thank you for this fantastic video. I am ready to take the offer I have on the table now and move on.
Wow thank you so much Natalie, got a rejection today but watching your video has made me feel so much better and feel that they didn’t deserve me anyway! You’re a star!
You explained it such beautifully.. I was having lot of anxiety since morning. It has been 5 hours since I am struggling to get over the rejection that I just got from my dream job. But your thoughts have said some of the major understandable things about rejection snd how to recover from it
Finally someone speaking common sense! I personally HATE rejection letters and I have no idea why people widely seem to complain that they don't receive them. Unless I have actually interviewed with them, the only thing I want to see is when are you available for an interview? Anything else is irrelevant imo. I also would not want to work for a company that doesn't see my value or that I have to chase them for a reply. They've told me all I need to know.
Hi Natalie. I can’t thank you enough for this video. The company that I used to work for came back for me and it felt like the opportunity that I always wanted was finally falling into place. Met the CEO and CCO and shook hands on the position. Over the next few weeks the communication became very scarce and I couldn’t get a straight answer back from them. A new hiring manager came on board in the meantime and she just called me this morning and told me that she doesn’t think I’m the right person for the role so they won’t be hiring me. I have been completely crushed all day but this process has eroded my trust in them and if this is the way they treat people then I don’t want to work for them. Thank you for showing me that they don’t deserve me and to keep my head up and stay hopeful for fantastic opportunities to come. I probably dodged a bullet which I am slowly starting to come to terms with.
I am too sensitive for the interview process 😢 this happened to me an hour ago. They even said they went back and forth and that it was an extremely difficult decision for them. I felt that. They want to stay in touch for a future role.
Any update, now that it's been 6 months? Hopefully, something positive.
Blessings in disguise, a couple weeks after a started an interview process at one of my dream companies. I even wrote that i wanted to work there in my journal last summer. I have been at my new job for 5 months and it's the BEST job (in every way) i've ever had. Thanks and I hope all is well with you
Thanks for this video, it helped this week i felt annoyed at being rejected, keep moving on there are other companies in the future that company could come back to you and you would have the power to say NO!!
I came across your video and I feel like it intentionally came to me. Your words saved me from spiraling to depression arising from the vagueness of my pile of rejection letters. Thank you. So much.
I'm so happy to hear this!
release attachment to the situation...sooo true..we want what we want and its hard to let go...especially when we had gotten our hopes up....
Great insight and takeaway!
"You didn't really want it bad enough" is what some of us heard in parts of this video. It's hard to let go when you spend nights researching and they throw a curveball when you were taught to practice for every other pitch because Glassdoor or other career sites (or videos like this) said so.
This is very much helpful🌟 The best part was the mountain ride analogy! Thank you for thiss
Wow. This video was incredibly helpful. I went through something similar last year and even though I now work for an employer that I truly love and makes me feel appreciated, I am still struggling to get over the rejection from what I thought was my dream job.
Glad it was helpful!
👍🏼 Great video
I always look at it like someone you want to be with but doesn't feel the same as you. You can keep trying being with them but the truth is, it is pointless to keep thinking and being exited about them as your future partner if they don't have the same feelings for you as you have for them.
Thank you very much for the beautiful reminder
Ok 😂 I literally laughed on the first question. What an a amazing way to look at things. Thank you so much for giving me a different perspective.
So glad my video made you laugh!! I love it. Keep going my friend and join me over on the podcast if you enjoyed this video I have a lot more to share and I can connect on a deeper level with you on the podcast podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/get-a-6-figure-job-you-love/id1522315419
@@NatalieFisher Thank you so much Natalie for responding. I got a rejection call today and surprisingly I took it really well thanks to your video, I’m disappointed but unmoved. I have already started to listen to your podcast and genuinely enjoying them.
Such excellent advice. The principles are applicable not only when job seeking but also for living life generally. Thank you.
I subscribed because your advice is much more realistic than the other videos I watched. Your answers are more human and creative.
Oh thank you! The biggest compliment is told I am human (and creative)
8:40 and on is the most passive aggressive bs ever. Most candidates who go through 3 steps in the interview deserve at least a no from HR or any other person from the company as the candidate expressed so much time and energy through their interest in the role.
Yeah, there is no justification for not sending a rejection mail, after being interviewed. It is just ignorance.
this is really amazing, thank you so much! I just had an interview where I think I blew it. I really feel like I am not smart enough because of the case study they were giving. I really thought I did well, but at the end of the interview they said I need to improve A LOT on analytical skills. man.. that was harsh.. thanks to this video, I'm really gonna learn a new perspective to approach this matter
This is a very great video. Such depth is revealed. I appreciate your even keeled demeanor as well. Thank you!
Welcome!
When I get the email after an interview that states " not the right fit, we found a candidate that had more of what we were looking for in experience." It makes me mad. They should have just skipped my resume. I put so much time and energy into practicing and preparing for interviews.
This message came right on time! Great information
I was really upset that I did not get the offer. I invested six months in five rounds of interviews, and everything went pretty smoothly. I couldn't accept the fact that I was rejected in the last round. But here I am, feeling a bit better now.
Thank you so much, i nearly went into a dark place 😢
I have been working for this company for over 5years and have tossed myself into it and gone above and beyond to be the best and learn as much as possible. In the past year I have started exploring other career opportunities within that company and no matter how many positions I apply for or interviews I have- it just does not work out (and they were all jobs that I was qualified for). This last one though... it hit so much harder than the others because my current boss is retiring and she even recommended me for the position but they ended up giving a second interview to a woman that i trained and mentored... and I already know that she is not computer savvy enough to do the job. So- I was sitting here just so beyond all sense and logic because I came into this company with so much experience and hold such a strong performance record- I just lost all faith in my abilities as a person. Nothing anyone has said to me has touched that darkness that I dived into. I just wanted to let you know that I found your video and it really resonated with me. I think that I have been trying so hard all of these years and I just wanted this last job application to validate my efforts because I know that I deserve more that what they are giving me. Applying for jobs is like fishing... you know the bait you have is fresh and the fish want it... but if you keep casting your line out in the same area and you dont get any bites- it's time to move on to the next spot.
This video really helped me- after 3 rounds of interviews I expected an offer but instead got ghosted. I have another round of interviews today for a different job at a different company and instead of thinking about being rejected for what I thought was my dream job, I plan to place my focus on today’s interview and moving forward. Because seriously- do I really want to work for a company that doesn’t want to hire me? What she said was spot on- thanks for a great video!
You're so welcome. So glad it helped!
thnq sista it will really help me to get out from my worse situation 😍😍great love for you with blessings💘
Thank you for the great perspective. I was rejected by Boeing today after what appeared to me that everyone loved me during the interview which was a 7 member panel.
So they encouraged me to apply for other roles and I did. But what you’re saying is true and you’re making me reconsider myself.
What if there is hardly any company that wants me and then I don't want to work for them? It is not about a single company but 99.9 percent of companies I wanted?
Thank you Natalie, I learnt operating from this perspective all through lockdown, and I finally get to view this on youtube. A big thank you for this.
However, I am still looking for a fulltime job and it is really been difficult for me to get that one till now.
8:40 This is the heartwarming part!
Your first comment was spot on. I only wanted the money at the job that just turned me down. The place sounded chaotic which is why the process took 3 months. My current employer pays well below market wage but I have it figured out.
Natalie is full of useful advice - this video is great for not taking rejections too personally - it is so easy to do, but not at all helpful moving forward!
Glad you found it helpful Jennifer thank you for your comments!
Natalie seems like a VERY nice person and I'm often worried that I'm being a bit to hard on her in comments.
But honestly, she seems kind of clueless and sheltered also.
Constantly telling everyone that something is only a problem if they make it a problem is disingenuous and kind of insulting.
"God will bless those who are rejected right in front of people who rejected!" All success stories have 1000s of rejection... Still they didn't loose hope n moved on..... Moving on and trying is quintessential in life but one needs God to support, to wipe tears n encourage as well...!! Be positive ... Somewhere your dreams are fructifying for a better n higher self but it is invisible right now!!
❤❤❤
Is it the company not wanting you or the individuals at the time not wanting you?
It's either an individual (or individuals) in the company making the decision, or watch the video "Getting interviews but no job offers" Which explains what could be going on within the company as to why they may not be moving forward. Thanks for the comment!
Got my first ever job rejection today so I am crying while watching this. Lol.
Good job! Have you listened to my podcast on being rejection proof? nataliefisher.ca/becomerejectionproof/
@@NatalieFisher I re-read my comment and thought "Oh wow, that is my first ever job rejection ever in all of my professional years" which if you think about is actually really cool? Mama raise no bitch so Imma keep my head up high and take this as sort of an award or a lesson, rather than an attack on who I am. Thanks for the podcast link.
I like the brain circuit. Realist and helping to move forward easily. Thank you
I’ve been in corporate recruiting for over 20 years. An initial rejection by one manager within a large organization does not mean that every hiring leader within that organization does not want to extend a job offer to you. I’ve seen dozens of job offers be extended to silver medalist candidates (first runner up candidates) and sometimes even the bronze medalist candidate. I do agree that it’s a good idea to explore other organizations that might be a better fit. However, it’s probably not a good idea to immediately dismiss a potential employer based on one or even two decisions to not hire you.
There can be several reasons for a company not selecting someone for a job. A couple of reasons include: another candidate interviewed better, meaning their answers may have been more concise and articulated better. Another reason is that they offered a job to a very qualified internal candidate who has been vying for the same position for several years.
You speak with HR jargon. Disgusting.
Really thankful for this. You're God sent. 🙏
This video is gold.
I'm so glad it was useful!!
I had an interview round with the CEO, the HR later informed me there’s two news. The great news was that the ceo liked me and kind of picked me already. But the bad news was that there’s an internal issue that just came up and they need to hold the hiring process.
I spent my whole week energy to prepare them the best presentation and research to ace the interview and that’s the response I got.
Like, there must be signs for internal issues. Why not solve those before seeking for people? It’s exhausting for everyone. I put my time and effort in it. It’s so draining
This is Excellent!
Thank you for this. It really helps
Me watching the video, the day after being rejected 😥😥😥😭
Same here this moment 😢
I have had very bad experiences.I ask for a job, they write up my number, and then they do not call me back the next day.Or my application gets ignored and staff in shop ignore me and pretend like nothing has happened.I get reassurances that I would get a job, and 3 years later I ask why I did not get a job I get rude responses and Insults from staff.It really hurts.I am tired from this behaviour.
Great information very helpful and what I needed thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I just got rejected from my dream job. Luckily the hiring manager said I could not have done anything better and that they totally see me as a good fit for the position and the company. I could hear it in his voice that he really was dissapoinred to not get be on board. Another candidate just beat me to it with more experience in the field. The manager said he would like to keep contact and wants to make sure I stick around in case it doesn’t work out with the hired person. Or even give me another position (as a freelancer) to still be in the company at the same time.
What would your advice be? Does it often occur that a hired person in a job position doesn’t work out and that they reach out to second candidates? Or does this never happen?
Why work for a company that doesn't want you? Perhaps it's really just one person in that one company who doesn't want you around though your skillset matches what they need? Or how about the hiring manager be obligated to also bring in others on their team to make sure their bias isn't isolated? Or perhaps you have financial obligations like a family, rent/mortgages, etc. so you take the PTSD-like abuse for a paycheck knowing your family is OK? Or are we at fault for merely existing and needing a job in the first place?
Hi, I had this interview and it didnt go so well because I was nervous. and they emailed me that they wont go through with my application but the next day the HR personnel called me up if I am still interested and set me up for a second interview because the person who interviewed me want to reconsider my application. I actually dont know what to feel.
Oh my thank you for your post. I absolutely blew an interview today. Maybe it was self sabotage? But I got my rejection email 5 minutes after I left.
Some of us would love a rejection notice right now, as many videos and sites say wait at least 24 hours so that we "don't look desperate" even though there are quite many unemployed folks out there right now.
Thank you Natalie, this is so inspiring ❤
I really needed this. Sighhh got rejected from a job I really wanted.
very good points. even at the top of my game an opportunity failed.. would drop an email but realisitcally its like a relationship. move on, grow in your own way that didnt involved that particular team and see what is ahead of the road? its not bad just an opportunity that was missed, could have been nice but never bad because the amazing experience you have next year wouldnt have been possible if you "GOT" the gig.
Lifes long, take it opportunities if they are presented and imo present yourself more and say less.
That is a good positive attitude you have there
Thanks for making this.
OMG! So on time for me. It is so frustrating! Why cannot they respond? I asked for feedback, as it's my learning curve.
I’m in my final year of university and have been applying for 7 months now. I’ve reached the final rounds with 4 top companies and end up missing out each time due to changes in the company, layoffs, or them hiring only 1 person when they interviewed 10. it’s getting close to my graduation date and I still don’t have a role, I’ll keep trying but it’s becoming depressing :(
I am a dynamic person who has so much to offer, and even when all my skills align, I can't even get a damn interview. 6 months of this, and I am feeling beat up and exhausted. ready to quit.
This will help you identify why you're not getting an interview nataliefisher.ca/68-reasons
Your video helps so much. Thank you so much
Yes! work for people who value you
Thanks a lot😊 it is hard to get rejected again and again still I tell myself that means it was not for me.... exactly if they don't wanna hire you😅
Im just interested in landing the interview at this point. I've applied to over 100 positions since November of last year, and during that time, there was not one interview that happened.
check this guide out it will give you a whole wack of reasons why you're not landing an interview nataliefisher.ca/68-reasons
Thank you for this!
ur so cool! l love your eyebrows, thanks for comforting videos
Oh thank you!
I don’t wanna speak on behalf of a lot of the people in the comments but I think 1 of the worst things is when it’s a job you have applied for before. And had at least say 2 or 3 Nos and then someone else comes along gets the yes 1st time. It’s like is there something wrong With me ? 😞 am I doing things incorrectly ? Should I change my work path ?
I didn't apply to a company who didn't want me. I only found out they didn't want me because I applied. And after applying to dozens of companies and being told no, it is hard to imagine there is a magical company for me out there. It must be nice to have loads of options, but I do not have that luxury so it is not exactly east to skip away from each interview with a smile on my face.
And while we are at it, it can be useful to get information on your rejection, maybe you did something wrong, maybe they can offer advice. Maybe you can make a connection. If you do not follow up you do not have that chance. Following up for months is silly, but once or twice shows initiative, I have gotten jobs before because I was the only one chasing it up.
Also you are incorrect about HR. They may not like rejecting people, but it is their job, we can't just not do our jobs because we don't enjoy it. The real reason HR do not get back to candidates is because they don't have to, that is all.
The only advice you need to give people is that life is not fair, do not expect it to be. All you can do is focus on what is under your control, your application and your behaviour. The rest is up to the employer and they hold all the cards, even some you can't see. So if you think you met all the criteria for the job, there is likely some stuff you aren't allowed to see (and maybe they aren't allowed to show you) that come into play.
You DO need to move on. But don't do it with a warm smug smile that you have in some way gained from a rejection, like you and the company just aren't compatible or hat they 'didn't want you' it is in no way personal (most of the time) it is just a business decision. The best thing you can do is take it that you aren't right for them right now and that you should move on to your other opportunities.
I appreciate the insights offered here. I disagree about the ghosting. Applicants deserve closure. If applicants are brave enough to put themselves out there then HR folks need to be brave enough to let them know they didn’t get the position. It is just plain rude.
Thank you Natalie for this
Very welcome glad you found me! Tune into the podcast for new weekly topics! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/get-a-6-figure-job-you-love/id1522315419
I think I'll get rejected from my dream job on like 2 days. I know it. I know i could have done things better. I know getting that job would have made my dreams happen 2 years earlier.
Ik i will grive when they send the mail in 2 days but something in me tells me I'll be okay if i work hard for my dream. As long as in don't lose sight of it... I'll be okay. But it's okay to grive for it too. But to get back up is what is needed. 💪
Im just venting 🤣
I was so excited for a job, i lost words as the interview was in English
My mother tongue language is Arabic, i can write & read with English in a good way, i always get ready with a specific words, but i don’t practice talking with English alot so i get lost in the words and so i get tejected
I have sevetal years of experience & i’m very good learner, but still cannot express all my experience & willing to learn during the interview
I just got rejected for an internal position been with the company 14 years.
So glad to hv listened to this thx so much
If a company isn't not hiring you, it is more about you not being as good of a fit to the position as the other candidate that got the job. The other candidate might have tonnes more experience and broader skillsets. The company isn't nessesarily saying they don't want you, they are saying you weren't better than the other candidate.
But if a company is ghosting people, even after reaching out. Then i'd say that no, i wouldn't like to work for that company. They have effectivly told me that they either don't have the ability to manage their hiring process well enough to save face (as in brand company reputation and professionality). Or that they don't care enough to send and email through a mail group that informs the other candidates that they didn't get the job, and thanking them. Which is devaluing and indifference to probably their employees as well.
Im waiting for the company’s response 😅 that I really liked. Felt like they want to higher me but it’s a big organisation and maybe they would rather higher internally. Basically I’m trying to prepare myself for a rejection already, in case if happens. Though I know I still will be disappointed ((( it’s hard but at least videos like this can help a bit
I was rejected because they want a different personality. I was qualified and passed the tests ansd when i went to the interview i was a bit nervous in the beginning. So it was noticeable that i was nervous.
But then i felt better and had more time to clarify what i said when i was nervous and talked more about myself. :( yet they rejected me. It hurtsssss cuz i cant change that about my personality.
What would you like to be feeling in the interview instead of nervous? Why do you think you can't change your nervousness in an interview? All my clients go from Nervous to Confident it is a matter of changing your mindset. I know that you can do it too.
@@NatalieFisher thanks for replying! 💗 and yes I believe i can too. Im always confident but sometimes get unexpectedly soo anxious aghh frustrating! but yeah i need to check your other videos. I literally googled “i got rejected from my job” and found your video while I was upset and crying lol i feel better now haha
This is excellent! Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure!
You can also don't want to work at a company that does want to hire you.
correct
@@NatalieFisher There is another career coach on RUclips that encourage reapplying continually to a company that rejected you many times. Even if the job stays posted it reposted. He said even call and ask why. Recruiters don't answer calls and will answer generically via email.
Much thanks!
Really good perspective, why would you marry someone that does not want to marry you? Would be anyone happy ?
Exactly, you get this
“Why do you want to work for somewhere that doesn’t want to hire you?” Because every other company in my industry is awful 😞
What a self righteous point of view regarding companies not responding. HR expects candidates to act by the highest social norms but does not apply these standards to themselves. There is no justification for that and there is also not two ways of looking at it - its disrespectful.
Exactly, it's utter crap. Following up properly is business etiquette.
Natalie, yes the employer said she wanted a female candidate over a male, and I was a lot more qualified for the role.
By "moving on" to find a company that actually wants you, I can only interpret that as moving on to another country. I have beaten my brains out for over 35 years, trying to start a career in engineering in the United States. Moving on must mean moving on to Russia, Western Europe, Canada, or some country where the hiring decision is not made on an irrational basis. The most common response I have heard is, "We had an overwhelming number of applicants for this job". Sometimes they refer to an overwhelming number of qualified or "highly qualified" applicants. When I have at least managed to get interviews, they say I do not talk enough. Hopefully I will soon have interviews where I talk in a language that few Americans can understand. That is poetic justice.
I think the car waiting analogy is on-spot; just because you keep calling doesnt make the car go faster...
Exactly
Get back up and apply for another one.
Like the lottery, this is all about the company's perspective and HR SOP.
Right now situation is not good.
