Ugh, that's definitely frustrating, but try to look at the bright side. At least you found out now, before you went through multiple rounds, accepted an offer and started working, only to be laid off due to downsizing or restructuring. You probably dodged a bullet, and something better will come along.

Thank you so much!

I’m sorry, but try not to be discouraged. It could be for a handful of reasons. As a Recruiter I’ve cancelled interviews when the role was cancelled, when the hiring manager changed the qualifications for the role, or when we made an offer to someone else we were farther along with. I’m sure there are other possibilities as well.

it didn’t matter what day you picked likely management changed their mind about the level of the role or some other qualification that makes you no longer qualified, dont take it personally theres nothing you could’ve done differently and this opens the door for an opportunity that will be a much better fit!

Oh man I'm so sorry, but agree - don't tale this personally! It's better to have an interview canceled rather than an offer withdrawn! Keep trying, I'm sure there's a better opportunity out there

Sounds like they may no longer be hiring for that role. Could be due to budget constraints or a million other things. Sorry to hear this.

So sorry to hear this. But based on experience, this happens quite often. It's usually because the company no longer wants that position to be filled. Or due to some internal changes.
