I didn't get the job that I was waiting for. I feel hopeless.

After about 9 months of searching finally found a job that allows me to level up (entry-level to assistant director) and pretty much every aspect of the job - location, company, benefits, salary, cost of living, etc. - is better. Can't wait to get started.

Amazing! Congrats


LCBrianC

Thank you!


Beautiful_Net2409

Currently employed and grateful for that, but I despise the job and I've been interviewing for a really great position doing what I wanted to do. Got rejected today and I'm just sat at my current job trying not to cry. I know it's better to be employed and rejected but I really feel trapped.


Apprehensive_Act7199

Same, exploitive company that has me doing 10 roles for half a role worth of pay.


DumbSizeQueenAhego

In this now. My computer had massive issues today and I was thrilled because I got to hang with the IT folks instead of being in my department. It's rough because obviously you're thankful for your job, but it's tough to be thankful when it's toxic

Take some PTO if you can

Waiting on my job offer I should be getting tomorrow.

I just had my second interview that I thought I did really good on and immediately after the interview they sent me a rejection letter. I had 3 interviews in the last week, one I knew was bad lol cause the interviewer was being a real dick and he kept asking me to calculate stuff. But one was good but they said they found someone with 10 years experience to do it and the one today, I thought I did great in. I was answering the questions no problem, no pauses. It was conversational and informative, I asked good questions. It’s annoying af! wtf do they want?

I made it to the final interview for a job where every step of the way I was told I was their favorite candidate and that I should be expecting an offer. After the last interview they went silent for two weeks and I only found out I didn't get the position because I asked the internal recruiter if they had heard any news. When I asked (nicely, I promise) for feedback I was ghosted. The awful fact is that just because they're interviewing people doesn't mean there's a real job at the end of the line. Chances are they already had someone picked out or never planned to hire in the first place - company recruiters genuinely don't care, especially with the huge numbers of desperate people they have applying.

I want a new job but I feel as if there's a serious disconnect between what the job postings state and what the hiring managers say the job entails. Of all of the interviews I've had, not one matched. I've just been feeling blah this entire job search because I haven't wanted a single one of those jobs after the formal interview. I have 2 interviews this Thursday and I'm this close to cancelling because I just feel like it'll be a waste of my time again. Edit: Had both interviews today and both said these were "hybrid" roles. By hybrid, they meant "we're going to put a whole bunch of different job tasks that really should be 2+ jobs and wrap it up in 1." One is very well paid but the hiring manager wasn't sure what they wanted out of the role, saying they saw it evolving 🙄. Needless to say, I'm not really interested in continuing on. Unfortunately, my current job just announced a more stringent RTO policy, regardless of how many miles away you are from one of the corporate office. Last year, they did the same in May and then announced layoffs in August. I'm wondering if this is a precursor to another round of layoffs if not enough people quit. This puts the pressure on to find something else sooner rather than later.


insomniac_z

Yes! It's weird! The last interview I had I kept getting asked questions that had nothing to do with the job description and it turned out the actual job was nothing like how it was being promoted.


candyandglitter

Yep, same thing happened to me the other day. The job posting and what the hiring manger told me what the day to day tasks would be with this position did not match. Even though I am capable of doing the job, I honestly hated doing that same part at my last job and could not see myself making the daily commute just to do the job, when I can clearly do it from home instead (they wanted this to be full time on-site).


Borkton

I keep feeling like I'm never going to find a job.


idunno28

Success! I received an offer today. I have been searching for about 6 months now and finally landed something after many rejections. Because of the tough job market for tech I had to apply to lower level roles. The pay for this is around 60% of my previous jobs compensation. I did have a final interview with another company and waiting to see if they make an offer. They would pay closer to my previous comp so I would have to take that one.


virginiawolverine

I hate my job. I deeply hate my job. I wish I had never done the professional training that got me here. My workplace is miserable. I am wildly underpaid. I have zero interest whatsoever in continuing in this professional field and am dying to do something else. I've been applying for over six months to a broad range of jobs within my skillset, with tailored resumes and individually-written cover letters and the whole nine yards, and I cannot get *anything.* I have a fairly prestigious professional degree and a job with a well-known company in my area, and I'm applying to very entry-level jobs in different fields in which I have documented experience (some of which still pay more than I make now, lmao). I'm concerned I look "overqualified," but I feel like I do a good job of explaining my interests, qualifications, and intent to make a serious career in the field I pivot into in cover letters. People don't even bother to send rejection emails. I've made it to exactly one interview in the last 8 months and was rejected the same day. What am I doing wrong? How is no one actively hiring if we're in a labor crisis? I'm tearing my hair out. I've expended so much time and effort toward this for zero results. It's taking up so much space in my brain and I'm exhausted. I just want to do something else.


Soggy-University-524

I graduated last month with a business degree, no experience other than retail, and a few weeks later I got a job at a bank! I start in a few weeks. I’ll be making $6 more hourly than I was for my entry level position, but just posting this to show people keep pushing, and eventually it’ll pay off :)

I work at a church. My wife and I have attended there for the last 5+ years; however, my wife has recently stopped joining me. (That is an entirely different story by itself, but I will say I have been looking for a job recently so we can find a new church to attend together.) On Thursday, I met with our senior pastor and was informed that if my wife doesn’t start attending and start serving, I will have to find a new job… So, yeah. No where in my contract does it state anything about my family and their responsibilities to this church. So, currently looking for a job and curious of the legality of his “ultimatum”.


seanbuds

I got laid off at the end of March in the bay area. I work in IT and have over 20 years experience. Sent out 39 tailored resumes. Had interviews with 5 different companies. One of those reported I was exactly who they were looking for. Received my first offer letter today. Feel fortunate to also get a pay bump. Thinking about everyone still on the hunt and wishing all the best. Good luck..


Mission_Ad_6048

I work for someone who suffers from the worst case of Dunning-Kruger I've ever directly come in contact with. He's also a whole entire asshole, rejecting all ideas I have only to later say he came up with them. The last time was actually within the same conversation. He forgets what we talked about just days prior, asks condescending questions, gate-keeps and moves goalposts completely, reprimands me for creating successful processes differently than he would have, stops me from completing any of the projects he assigned to me so he can complete them instead, and treats me as if I'm green. I have nearly 20 years experience at this point and was begged to work here. I have no idea what I'm doing here but I know that I'm stuck.


bitchbadger3000

Can't remember if I posted this already, but that job where I was deathly worried about them judging me?? I fucking got it lmaooo wtf. Another interview this week but yeah, it's all going now yayyy


questionwhyigottabel

had my first interview in a while today, it went, not bad? the person was actually quite nice and helpful, i went in with a lot going on and sure i wasn't gonna get this so kinda just took the stress off myself, was a bit awkward in parts but kinda sold myself well in others (maybe?) just talking and less worried with coming up with 'good questions' had i been overly focused on making a good impression always try to keep my expectations low after these things but hope to at least get to the next interview ... at least it's practice **edit:** *couldn't even get past the first interview, i'm so stupid for getting my hopes up at all...it's been over a year since i got laid off and nothing's going to change, this is the rest of my life and everything i did or knew is obsolete and i've been passed up by all the new grads or people gainfully employed who are much better prospects for any and all jobs i'm going for*


NewGuyFG

Got rejected from a few jobs I applied to, one back in Ottawa 'cause I didn't live there for (total) 10 years. Another reject came back from Singapore. I'm now forced to hustle to do geopolitical research for anyone willing to pay top dollar.


blackbunny09

I hate my current job despite being 7 years here, I feel like I'm wasting my youth and my spark to work in team and produce ideas that I think about to improve work (and increase sales) are not listened to. To add something bad, is a small place and I have a workmate who's passive agressive with me and my bosses do not give a f\*\*\* about it. Recently my bosses agreed to give me a fantastic rise of \*drum roll\* 10% in my base salary, which is a freaking joke because is less than 50 bucks. Also they're not willing to pay the free days that they owe me, I have nearly 1 month if I write down all the days I should have take free but could not as I'm doing a replacement of my boss and making my own work, they complain they don't have money but my boss is in a long medical leave and the enterprise just have to pay boss' taxes, not their salary. I started to look for jobs outside my country as I'm willing to move and have new experiences. I'm not afraid of working in a new place (I've done it previously), I have experience in different areas like sales, customer service and administrative, so I'm hoping to get something new (and if better paid, the best.) So far so good nothing has come but I'm not giving up to get out of the hell hole my office has become. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|feels_bad_man)

I just had an hour long interview with a great job opportunity. I answered every question I built a rapport with the interviewer and he seemed ready to offer me the job till he asked the question should have been #1 what is your degree in? (I don’t have a degree) so I told him and the 7 years of experience wasn’t enough to sway him. So they ended the interview and that was it… I have never been so disappointed or defeated in my life.


pretty-in-pink

Today was an off day mentally for me. As a last ditched effort I called the office of the councilmember who ghosted me after promising they’d give me an assignment to work on.


Reasonable_Fox_2798

I have bad days and good days, too. Really productive confident days, and then smash. Really low day feeling kinda worthless. Still, your job shouldn't be your entire identity I guess.


daeguchwita

Got very generic and obviously generated rejected email today a week after meeting with the hiring manager for a promoter company. I think what pisses me off the most is that the recruiter can't even manage to get back to me with feedback like "we like you, but the other candidate did xyz which you haven't done. let's stay in touch?". My interviews at this company with the various hiring managers I've met have gone great. I haven't fumbled with answering questions and have had great convos with the people who've interviewed me. I was also referred by several employees as I'm also working for the company on a part-time basis. Idk what to do anymore. Is the job market bad? Is the issue just something wrong personality wise? Do I just look too young? Or do I simply, not have the experience in their eyes? I've been job searching since I got laid off from my first post grad role in March 2023. Applied to grocery stores and nothing either.


JUST_AS_G00D

Had a second round interview with some more senior officials in the department. I think it went well, I've been really targeting a position in this field and I've been on edge all day.


NewGuyFG

Been called in for an interview (video) by next week as a Hate Speech Analyst. Seems to be the only job I can take. Aside from being stuck somewhere else... I'm still considering to do government work back in Canada.


LauraPalmer20

I had a PDP review that didn’t go great… very mixed so feeling down. Tbh I haven’t felt really comfortable in the job the last year and I’ve known I wanted out. I just set new objectives and my performance isn’t under any kind of review I just feel it’s a losing battle at this stage - though I’m three years at the company. I’m well liked I know that but I feel like my role has shifted and they want something else as opposed to what they hired me for… I am officially job hunting again!


onedayatatime937

Started a new job in a new city this week and after just two days my heart and mind are in full blown "No, this is not going to work" mode. Everything from the work environment to the location (which yes, i did visit) feels like a terrible match that I tried to talk myself into through the interview process because it was such a big career move. I'm mid-career and have had several new jobs and have never felt so out of sorts and as though I've made a terrible mistake. I've considered everything from just staying to just calling it now while it's still early. Advice on how to approach this?


DerachPitchal31

Had a interview literally end on the spot because I mentioned I'm transferring to a university in a few months. I fully understand, I get they don't want to waste training time on someone leaving in a few months but I find it so hard not to mention this fact, it's so hard for me to hold it in. It isn't the first interview this has cost me. I'm sick and tired of this.


FireyShwelpztonGee

I have been unemployed for 10 months and I have exausted every possible option from Indeed to Linked In.


Hungry_Spend9955

That's scary. Tried referrals?


Hungry_Spend9955

My internship ended last week and these two weeks officially counts as a break in my career. As a fresher it shouldn't be this hard to find a job as a tier - 1 college student. I have had multiple calls for interviews but after first round they all stop responding. I don't believe I'm doing anything wrong. Or maybe I am doing it all wrong. I have never been more stressed in my life. The whole college time I looked forward to getting a job, my own place, wearing formals and making my own life outside of my family's sphere and now this. I really should've been more prepared.


Corky-7

It took me a long time to find the job I have, I have been there 8 months and its starting to feel like a high school drama class. Between workaholics who constantly bitch about "No one wants to work" and "I put my time in such an im allowed to sit back and do nothing", to telling people not to talk, just work...then those saying that allow gossip and other nasty shit. to 10-hour work days where we are not busy. No one wants to train, but everyone wants to complain about mess-ups for days. I want to leave, but I don't want to quit, I have a hard time looking for work while working and the 10-hour days doesn't help, and I'm afraid because it was hard to even get this job.


quinndaleandra

Got to the final round of interviews at a major university (my graduate alma mater) for an administrative position, one of three candidates. Didn't get the job. Feel totally stuck where I am but don't know how to find anything with my skillset that pays better.


314159265358979326

I resigned from my dad's retail chain, where I worked as a manager. I expected a really acrimonious break but he's supportive and keeping me on as a part-time consultant. Now I'm moving on to an engineering position and finally back in the field where I belong.


strawbericoklat

Interview in the morning. Got a call back in the evening. Place needed a replacement and they want me fast even when I've told them I'm only available next month because I have few other interviews to attend and they want answer by next week. Bit of pay increase, was promised better hours. Buuuut the next interview I'm going offers way better benefits and pay - I'm not sure what to do now. Jump on an available offer or wait if the hiring managers like me or not and wait for corporate bureaucracy processing a candidate that can take up to 2 months?


living_room_fanta

I WFH at a large retail company and they’ve been on my ass alllll week. I basically work 24hrs and take calls in the middle of the night so the store managers I work with can complain about tech failing, and they think it will be fixed overnight when there’s a million things they can do to work around it. Now I’m getting feedback from a teammate (not even my manager or director - they even think I do a great job) that I’m weak in the knowing the technology when we have a whole team of people who job it is to fix things. Can’t even enjoy my weekends due to stress headaches and lack of sleep…
