I am pretty frustrated🙁 I was laid off at the end of June and have since been looking for a job within account management or customer success. I had interviewed with a company. I was really excited for and after meeting with the hiring manager was asked to put together a presentation deck walking through a renewal scenario. It was a quick turnaround since I got the request Friday and needed to complete and return by Monday. I was really proud of what I put together and was looking forward

2 presenting to the team. Unfortunately, HR emailed stating they would not be moving forward since they are going with an internal candidate. She mentioned the highway manager was impressed with my deck and conversation and would consider me if additional roles open up. But I find it so rude and considerate that they made me spend time putting together a deck. This job market has been really tough and I’m concerned that I might not be able to find a suitable role. Sorry for the vent just needed to get that off my chest.

It took me 7-8 months and 300 applications and multiple rounds of interviews to finally find a job, don’t lose hope.
