Before Answering the Call to See If I Got the Job (They Rejected Me)

I really wanted that job, but I guess it wasn’t meant to be, haha.

Rejection is just redirection. When I look back at the jobs that rejected me, I’m so glad it happened that way because now I see it was meant to be, but I was too self-absorbed to realize it at the time. It’s always clear looking back.

Thank you :pray: That’s true! I’m sure things happen for a reason.

And some jobs you wish you never took. Keep going on your journey!

Thank you for your words. I’ve been in this loop for a year now. I’m hopeful the right opportunity will come soon.

Same! I once got rejected for a job that I really hated working on during the interview task. I know I would have joined it back then and wouldn’t have been happy. I got a job offer a few weeks after that; it’s been more than 2 years and I still enjoy it.

@Tavi
How very true. I was fired from my job back in 2018 after I told my company my mother had stage 4 cancer. I still did my job well and was never late, but I was still fired. A year prior, I turned my boss into HR for harassment and other issues.

A few years later, I now make twice the amount of money than I did working for my last company.

Don’t work for a job that doesn’t appreciate you. I guarantee you will find a better job.

@Tavi
I’ve not been rejected, but I was ghosted by Google last year :sweat_smile:. Glad it happened, as now I went from being a Google lover to a Google hater. I switched to iPhone and only use YouTube because there’s literally no alternative :joy:.

@Tavi
Everything looks great when you’re desperate for a position, until you have that moment when you realize you just took a job you’re going to hate.

@Tavi
This comment is deep and insightful! Totally agree.

@Tavi
Saving this comment because I need to be reminded of this often.

Sometimes it’s just rejection because the hiring manager had an argument with his wife.

Stay hungry, stay foolish.

Okay, but going from 68 to 136 in a minute is crazy.

I was so stressed, haha. I felt my heart pounding so badly.

Might want to get that looked at.
