Job rejection is making me mental. The most recent rejection was after a three levels of interviews. After a follow up email, I received a response like they almost forgot to tell me I wasn’t picked. The HR person even stated if I wanted a call to talk about why, they are open for a conversation. I believe I am very qualified for these positions.

Every one is a gut punch. I'm not going to allow myself to get my hopes up again. It makes the rejections sting so much worse. I'm really surprised HR is willing to speak with you. I haven't gotten any meaningful feedback in any of the rejections I've received. I know you've got to be bummed to have made it so far and not gotten the offer, but I'd honestly consider taking them up on the offer. You might hear something useful that you can apply to the next interview.

My remorse after a job reject has gotten shorter. It just encourages me to apply even a more positions out there. I will see if I get a call from the HR recruiter. I think she just threw that out there to be nice.

So if you were a car what model would you be and why?

Nice

That’s tough but do take up the offer to get some helpful feedback! It may lead to a job in the future at the same place. This happened to me and I developed a relationship with the HR partner by doing it to the point where they reached out to me the next time a position was available that they thought I’d be better fit for. Sometimes it has nothing to do with anything but something as silly as the hiring manager just felt the other person was a better fit for their team and so when some other opportunity comes around you might be the better fit.

I have an interview for an in house position (only attorney) at a small non-profit focused on conservation easements. I am a transactional associate at a mid sized law firm.

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA.

Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!
