Why do companies insist on work samples but never confirm if they were viewed? I just got a rejection notice within 15 minutes of uploading a project I spent 16 hours on. It was such a waste of time and effort. Not sure what I should do now... would you call or email to follow up? Or just let it go?

don’t work for free. put it in your book. move on. do it again for something you care about. print it off one time and burn it outside. yell at a cloud. throw a table. have a cup of coffee.

then he loses a bunch of time that might be spent being more productive doing something else. 🤷‍♂️

Check to see if it was a mistake. Sometimes, rejection emails are sent out by mistake. If it’s true then just move on. Some companies requires you to take a test, this is a hiring manager thing not a recruiter kind of thing. You have other interviews right ?

I’ve only slept with one person, my wife. I have not openly shared this with anyone because there’s a stigma that I “settled” or I don’t have numbers on the board like a man should. I’m not overly religious, so that was never a driver in the equation. I admit, I do think about the “what if” every once in awhile but I’m honestly getting to the age where I feel I’m beyond my prime anyhow.
