Got a rejection email this morning as per usual. What exactly is "Your skills are impressive, but we're moving forward with candidates who align better with our needs" supposed to translate to? In my head, it's "you're not impressive enough" and that's discouraging and exhausting to feel all the time. How do you treat rejection letters?

I stop reading after the company's version of "we've chosen someone else". You're overanalyzing HR speak, try not to put your self worth into email wording

I just remind myself 100 times a day that it's a numbers game. For every job that I get, 1000 people didn't get it. So that just means I need to apply for 1000 jobs in order to get one.
