Very recently separated from my employer and have been interviewing for new roles.
I've had about 20 first round/recruiter interviews with only two moving into a second round and one moving into third from there. Some first round interviews told me to expect an invite for a second round interview, only to hear nothing or that the position was filled.
I didn't leave on the best of terms and it's been suggested to me that I may have been blacklisted.
Would anyone have some insights to share?

People don’t like to say bad things. So telling you to expect another interview is easier than telling you sorry you don’t fit.

I’m gainful employed but I did a lot of internal interviews last year. I like the company but felt under utilized which makes me worry that the axe will fall. Several times I was told what the next interview would require only to get the form email saying I wasn’t selected.

The more interviews you do the better you become at it and eventually your land a position.
