I got another rejection today, this time for a position I was excited about and had gone pretty far in the interview process. I’m starting to wonder what I’m doing or saying to turn prospective employers off.

Have you ever recorded yourself during an interview or practiced your answers beforehand? I was in the same boat recently and it took me almost 9 months to get the offer here at ACN

I’m right there with you! Hang in there! Something great will come along.

Very sorry to hear about your rejection especially because of how you felt about the job.

Depending on the position, recruiters may receive applications and interviews from extremely qualified candidates.

Sometimes if you reach out through email or phone, let them know how you feel, they may provide feedback on your interview.

Same boat! The company provided a feedback call which is nice since I know most companies don’t. You can try reaching out to the recruiter to see if you can receive feedback. Sometimes it may not even be you, just that someone else has more experience or closer to their ideal candidate. Good luck!

Just here to say I’m sorry you’re going through this and hopefully the right job match will come sooner rather than later.

It feels like dating. It”s so hard not to take it super personally. I’ve found I get really excited about the job and picture myself in the new role/company which makes the rejection harder.

I’ve started writing out examples for each line item/requirement/theme on the job description. An interview coach also had me write a two-three minute overview of my career so that I have a script and don’t ramble when they say, “tell me about yourself”.

Good luck!

Any litigators who prefer litigating over clerking, or the other way around? I’m senior at a major appellant-side litigation firm. My boss has told me that there is a clerkship opening with a federal judge that I admire, and with his rec I would be a shoe-in. I like litigation and the opps it provides to drive change in the law, but this opp could open up some doors and give work life balance. On the other hand, I don’t know if clerking might be boring, or frustrating reading bad briefs. Thx!

Hi everyone,

I was affected by layoffs about a month ago and urgently looking for a good immigration lawyer. The lawyer should be experienced in handling this 60 day grace period situation and developing alternate strategies - such as change of status to B1/B2 or applying to jobs from India. There is a lot of noise and wrong information going in the market so looking for good recommendations. 

I have very little time left for my grace period to end and need a consultation soon. Thanks
