Rough day: just notified that I’m now 0-5 on potential new jobs. I don’t get it - my books good, got some awards, done the BIG work, professional al experience is good, interviews seemed to go well. Then, the “NOOOOPE!”email arrives. I wish we’d get meaningful feedback on what was missing, as It’s Hard not to feel like I suck right now. Hope everyone else is having better luck in these skreets than I am.

If you’d like to send me your book, I’ll take a look and give some feedback? I’m a hiring manager so I certainly have opinions! 😀

Think of them as practice and that it means a better job/offer is coming. That’s what I’m telling myself. So many more openings this year than 2020. Just a matter of time.

I’m currently looking to hire two CDs. Out of several hundred applicants, there are seven on the short list right now. That means that at least five very talented people with great books who did good interviews will NOT get hired. The only thing I can tell them is that there was nothing lacking in them or their books—we simply chose someone else. That’s going to happen every time. So, it’s a numbers game. You can only do your best. Don’t get down on yourself or the process.

Exactly this! I’ve even texted recruiters back kindly asking what I may have been lacking or if the they’ve heard anything that might be helpful on the next go round- crickets…really disheartening.

I feel like in a perfect world there would be tiers in recruitment, and like in publishing or fine arts, someone along the line would have the job of responding with feedback. It would teach them how to think critically about work, as well as how to interact with people empathetically. Cuz right now - neither of those things exist!

Been there. Not in a position to hire, but happy to chat & share experience. And don't give up, hang in there!
