No interview from ZS despite a strong referral. Feedback was “a very competitive time”. 1YOE. No healthcare background, so maybe that was it? Don’t have a question, just a bit disappointed

It’s a very difficult recruiting time with a decent number of employed people + weak macro economics.

Hard to say the reason

If you only have one year experience, it's hard to get a 'very strong referral'. You just don't have that much work experience at this point to back it up.

1 YOE with no Healthcare exp. Trying to get into a HC/LS focused firm, U answered it urself. Cmon.
If I’m the hiring manager, why would I even consider you.

I understand the disappointment, but it's not surprising. We have more qualified applicants than ever given our strong growth in a rough job market, and often hire experienced associates with 2+ years of relevant experience.

Still frustrating to get turned down, but keep your chin up! And try again when the economy picks up a bit :)
