Anyone feel like NOT going to an interview because of fear of being rejected or ghosted? I often think what's the point of wasting my time only to get rejected or ghosted?! I'm over qualified for my role,too. Rejection emails suck. I got one before I was even interviewed!!😭💔💔

I have been looking for a new job for about six months now and have felt this way many times. I think we all have a mild fear of rejection. It does suck but you have to keep trying. Something will come your way.

A rejection means you at least tried. But also, if someone is giving you an opportunity, make the best of it. It could very well lead to employment!

That has been the biggest issue for me, scared of interviews and messing them up due to the anxiety, hope for any tips.

Job hunting is painful and there is no way to avoid it if you want a job. I completely relate, though. I have had pre-interview anxiety so bad that I seriously considered bailing 😭 But interviews are a necessary evil.

I.havr been rejected and ghosted all year last year, except for one horrible job that I was let go from due to racism and favoritism. That nightmare lasted ten months.

I'm just seeking temporary employment for two months until we get our tax return and move to another state. I will be working for myself with my small online jewelry business and transitioning into the ministry.

I totally understand this but just know that everyone gets rejected!

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example). I think we all want socioeconomic, gender and racial barriers to opportunities to be addressed, but no significant number of people really believe in equality of outcome right? This is just a straw man argument.

Hello,
Any HR from Accenture who can consider my profile for Qliksense developer (6years experience). I have been trying for this company for more than 2 years now but not even a single interview was scheduled. Worse part is if the profile is already in the system, it doesnot consider it for other jobs. I can see a lot of postings in job site but cannot apply in those.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
