After 4 interviews I received my rejection letter this morning that they "decided to move to another direction".

Can someone please explain that to me?

This was my old job that had an Executive Assistant position open and was laid off 8 months ago. Everything was the same, just a different dept.

You can always ask them for more feedback on areas of improvement or why you weren't chosen. Sometimes, people will actually answer. At least they didn't ghost you?

I see rejections as blessings. It was not for you.

I’m sorry. You’ll find the job that is meant for you soon! ❤️This has happened to me before. I’ve realized that actually emailing and asking for feedback whether it is positive/negative has been very helpful for me. I found out my interviewing skills were lacking. I am a very shy person and interviewing used to scare the heck out of me, even though I know would excel at the job and was definitely qualified.

Good luck! 🍀
