Little rant - I have over 10 yrs of customer support/service/engagement experience.Would someone explain why when you're only paying $13-$17/hr you're doing an intense interview and then sending the no match email. Tell me how I messed up the interview, Tell me I'm too qualified. Tell me I'm not qualified enough. Tell me you don't like my hair,tell me anything. Stop asking me how I would handle things when we both know you're going to tell me what to say. Today broke me after 4 mths of this 😡

Hang in there. I understand why you feel the way you do. The recruitment system is broken in so many places. Use their ineptness as fuel for continuing strong. Companies aren’t applying common sense toward process and efficiency- the residual effects will eventually rise as ineffectiveness (wasting time, money, lowering sentiment…). Keep applying. The right situation will present itself.

I have also been searching for months and have years of experience. I get the typical denial letter or multi interviews then deniedm I follow up for feed back and get none. Or some jobs pay way too low! Especially when I'm bilingual too.
