Just wanted to pop in and put some good energy out into the world. Applied for a position that was a reach based on my experience, but the job was such a dream I wanted to try. Didn’t get the gig, but that’s okay. I opened the door and got a conversation going because I know I’d be the perfect fit for them and vice versa. So I’m feeling… really good about it, despite not getting it.

And I guess I’m just hoping to put that energy out there for everyone. Shit’s tough rn. We need it.

Yes! Not getting a particular job can be such a bummer that it overshadows the positive that can come from the experience. I once interviewed for what I felt would be my dream job. I didn't get it, and was so disappointed, but 6 months later, the hiring manager who I'd interviewed with contacted me. Turns out, I'd made such a good impression on her that she'd kept my name on file. She was with a new company and thought I'd be a great fit for one of their openings. I absolutely LOVE my job and would have missed out if I hadn't put myself out there. Silver linings are there - we just have to look for them.

Thank you for your post. You have a great attitude. A rejection from a job can lead to future employment based on your response and attitude. There are many reasons for not hiring a candidate. I interviewed with an agency and didn't get hired. I asked their recruiter if I could check in for future jobs. She said yes. A year later, they hired me for another open position on a different account. I hope you get hired soon.

Nothing wrong with stretching to try to grab a star. Sometimes you catch one. And when you don’t, you’re still standing firm on earth. Not a bad place to be.

You got the kind of attitude and perspective that will take you far. Best of luck to you!

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell. I was on it one time for about 10 minutes and could feel myself becoming mentally unwell in just those 10 minutes. The human brain is not designed to deal with the sheer amount of sensory overload that app gives you. I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
