I Applied for a job Jan 16th and the employer reached out to me on Feb 2nd. I had an interview Feb 9th that lasted two hours and then a peer Interview last week Wednesday. This morning at 12:21am I got an automatic rejection email which wasn’t surprising given this has been the norm in my job search. I wish employers would give candidates feedback as to why they are being turned down for the position. On to the next…

I can relate to the frustration. Same happened to me. Met with SEVERAL people 1 hour each. I asked for feedback but didn’t get a response. Hang in there. There is something better out there—for both of us!

I understand your sentiment, but please don’t get too hung up on why they said yes or no because at the end it doesn’t really matter. A lot of people make these decisions based on vibes and relatability, even if they might lie and see it is based on experience.
Just keep pushing, the right position for you will come soon!!

I would still be inclined to reach out and ask - worst they can do is ghost you (again). It's weird times for sure. I know how easy it is to get discouraged, but trust me... things DO end up working out. Just have to take the long road sometimes. Way to keep pressing on.

Wow! 2hours interview

I remember when we were taught in school to hand write thank you letters to companies after interviewing. One time I did this and I got a handwritten letter back explaining that needing three days off (to see a specialist) every six weeks was not a reasonable accommodation. I thought I'd share.
