I swear, every time I’ve been denied from my “dream job” I landed somewhere way better
I truly believe in this too
Every no brings you closer to the right fit.
I got denied by my dream company yesterday. It hurt for 24 hours but I’m over it. I’ll try again in a year or so with more experience.

You’ll land where you need to. Keep your head up, buddy.
It is never fun. Sending you positive wishes!!
I actually got the acceptance once from a “dream job” - a place I thought I could retire from in a decade or more. It was so toxic. I survived less than 2 years and was happy to be out!
This... you really can't know the company and how you fit in before you work there. Could have been a nightmare

Keep in mind that just because you love a company's product, doesn't necessarily mean that it's a great place to work. Whether you're happy in a job depends more on the people you work with than on the company, and there are great people/teams at all kinds of companies.
Rejection is redirection - something much better is going to happen ❤️
JK Rowling was rejected by 12 publishing houses. You'll grown where you're meant to. Just keep going.
I got 3 rejections this week. I figure there’s something better out there!
Don’t think of it was rejection think of it as re-direction. This path didn’t suit you anymore, youre going to land somewhere else where your value is not only seen, but acknowledged and relied upon. You got this. Keep pushing forward

Yeah it’s tough. Keep pushing.
Hang in there! I have had 30+ rejections and I'm still hopeful!
Every challenge leads to a better opportunity, it leads to learning more about ourselves in the process, and we learn to navigate better through these disappointments and challenges. Keep going fail fast and you'll soon be having the best opportunity knocking at your door 😊
Sending positive vibes for you all the way
Rejection from a potential dream job does suck. Perhaps ther is something you were able to learn from that experience and can apply in your next job interview. Also, reasons for rejection vary - stay in touch with the recruiter or hiring manager - retry again in a few months. Keep your head up and push forward.
I have had 2 rejections in the last 2 months. So I can totally relate to it. I am following all the kind words you guys are putting there
Spend 2 years having another company train you and boomerang back as a stronger candidate. You’ll want to have a year of interview prep on deck.
