The bags can’t possibly be the reason you bombed…

Yeah this sounds like 🧢

Getting feedback from interviews is tough enough, and if a prospective employer discriminated against your physical appearance that would open them up to legal action.

I honestly hope that’s not the truth. Maybe the reality was being sleep deprived affected your presentation skills or something viable enough for a company to turn down a candidate. But if it is true that physical appearance alone took away a job opportunity, I personally wouldn’t want to work at that company anyways. No paycheck is worth being scrutinized on your appearance. I hope you sleep better, get more hours asleep and get a job that actually treats you well soon.

Sheesh :( who’d you hear that from?

someone i know very well who works there heard the ACD who was interviewing me call it a "big red flag"

How do you know that’s the reason?

Sure

If that was the case, we’d all never be hired.

This wasn’t really feedback. Come on.

Seriously? What’s next, rejection because you got a little bit of fever?

I bombed an interview because they said I looked up too much. It was in Zoom. Could have been the camera angle and/or that I tend to look up when thinking of a response. Honestly, if that’s the crew you’d have to deal with you are better off. Also, I hope you get some well-deserved rest.

That may not be true. Don't sweat it. We all have bags under our eyes.

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
