I got another rejection after 3 weeks of being in-limbo after a final interview. I only found out logging into the jobs portal. I was told they had FOUR vacancies. I must have bombed or am just doomed!! Please people share some good news! I am depressed. I have no mental energy to get back out there...

I got an email from the uni saying that they finished my final audit, and they decided that I have graduated...

Maybe, take a break. It’s holiday season anyways. When you come back in January, hopefully everyone is in a much better mood, and you got good news then!

Hey I am sorry you're going through this. I am not sure if you can afford a break from your job hunt right now. But if you can,then do.

Then maybe rethink what you've been asked in the interview with someone else in your field.

For example,I have received feedback I come across as rude over calls. So I am trying to correct that.

Don't immediately assume it's because of you. There's alot of factors involved in the hiring. Many are out of your control.

Keep your head up OP and keep hunting. Never keep your eggs in one basket with jobs.

Don’t assume anything follow up with your contact to check actual status. Let them know that you are very interested in working for the company and if this position doesn’t work out will consider others. Demonstrate your knowledge passion and excitement about the company. Stay in contact with the recruiter and reach out to executives in the company regarding your interest industry news etc. Keep applying to other jobs during the holidays its a good time since few others are. Network be active on LinkedIn and other industry sites. Best of luck!

Thank you. I just sent the Recruiter one final message.
I appreciate your response and feedback!!
