A job I interviewed for I cried over when I didn’t get it because it was 9 rounds of interviews - one of the panelists reached out and she was laid off recently but wanted to let me know she was the 1 vote for why I didn’t get it but it was because she didn’t want to subject another woman of color to their racist manager.

I’m SHOCKED. I’m so glad she saved me because I would’ve been laid off but whew!

Sometimes the rejection is God’s protection. God will also show why he did in due time. I am glad you were able to what happened and it came full circle. Blessing on your journey to find a new job!

The unspoken question is why do you have to be penalized for their bad behavior, especially if it’s known?

Glad it worked out!

Trust. God is in control and a closed door is love. Always, you are where you should be.

Thanks for sharing

9 rounds?!?! Why? How do they justify that amount of expense and time waste to themselves? Then expect the same of a candidate? I have never heard of anything close to that before. Glad that panelist saved you from the company. Hopefully she'll keep you in mind for the future at another company.

WOW WOW WOW. I am shocked by nine rounds of interviews first of all, that is insane. Also her reaching out is crazy too!
