I need some advice on bouncing back. Made it to final interviews twice in the past few weeks but both companies ghosted me. One even had me meet potential teammates! I'm starting to wonder what I'm doing wrong when I get so close. How do I stay motivated at this point?

It's rough to get that close and find yourself being ghosted. It's always a competition and there's only going to be one winner, that's just the harsh reality of it. Someone else may have just edged you out. The way to stay motivated is to fixate on the next time and make sure you're the person who edges out anyone else.

Do you have any trusted colleagues you might be able to ask for some feedback? For example, I had one coworker tell me that sometimes the way I explain things can be a little bit condescending. That feedback was really helpful and I worked on being more personable and less "instructive."

Had you gotten to the money piece? I have found that often times it’s not your experience, education, or soft skills that is the deciding factor but more often than not the job goes to the candidate that’s willing to accept less pay. Sad but true. I’m always surprised how little many jobseekers are willing to accept. Also, another point is Women negotiate less often than men by the numbers making them often cheaper to hire.

It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
