Update from a few weeks ago: I had post-interview excitement related to what I thought was a new opportunity. I was told a 2nd interview was less than 1 week away. After waiting 5 weeks, I receive an automated message saying I am no longer a candidate.

It's a blow to the confidence and makes me wonder if I should stay in insurance. What should I do?

Sorry that happened, and, understandably, it’s a blow to confidence. If there’s any silver lining, that is happening to a lot of people, not just with insurance jobs. My friend has been looking for months and has been having similar experiences.

Absolutely! That is the best mindset to be in, keep going and keep being optimistic.

I'm sorry. Give yourself time and kindness before you make any decisions. Finding a job in the insurance industry is a challenge right now, but it is even more challenging being an entry level candidate in another industry.

That is very true - thank you! I know it's tough out there, but I'm hopeful for a brighter and better 2026.

As hard as it may be, try not to take it too personally. I recently interviewed 3 candidates for one open role, and they were all so wonderful that it ended up being somewhat of a coin toss to make the final decision. Thank them for the opportunity, tell them you enjoyed meeting them, and let them know you'd be open to future opportunities. I am defnitely holding on to the resumes of the two candidates that I couldn't hire.

Thanks for the pep talk - I hope your instincts are good.
