Neither because I’m unemployed and recruiters keep ghosting me

For some reason, I've ended up staying late every Friday for the last few weeks. Everyone in my office leaves early and it really is the quietest time of the week for me. I seem to focus much better when the office is empty and end up staying late to finish things up. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

How early is it to early to take a week off ?? So I just started a new job a week ago.My office is really lenient and supportive of people traveling. But I still feel bad about it.

I’ve noticed that HR, when explaining why a candidate didn’t get the job, tend to lean on “You’re great, but we had candidates with more experience in [skill relevant to the job].” I do believe this is true in some cases, but it can’t possibly be for all of them.

HR folks — what feedback have you obscured by offering that line instead?
