    I’m so glad you are feeling better, and the best is yet to come.

    I definitely share the sentiment with not hearing positive news from an interview experience and otherwise being in limbo without having had a job lined up before the prior position ended. After getting countless rejections from places at which I was qualified or over-qualified, I stopped taking it personally. SHIFT your mindset to know that there is an employer out there who will VALUE your background and skills as highly as you do. Use this time to apply for a broad range of companies and industries. See what companies are offering for salary. Become an excellent negotiator. Gain additional skills and certifications that will help put you ahead of the competition. And ultimately, NEVER put all your hope and "eggs into one basket" so that you do not feel this level of disappointment when you find out they are not moving forward with you in the interview process. YOU GOT THIS! #KeepStriving

    Everything happens for a reason. Your quote you shared in the recent past has stuck with me and I say it a lot “what if a prophet/fortune teller told you you had 100 declined applications before the perfect one is offered. You would be so much more excited to get through those declines knowing there was an offer to come” (not exact words you said but you get the point). Stay positive! Praying for you that you land an awesome position sooner than later.

    I was so depressed when I was looking for a job and the best advice I got was to take time to stop and enjoy the time off. I was back to the structure soon enough. (Plus I wouldn’t want to work for someone that sends emails on a Saturday 🤷‍♀️)

  • @ey12lillypilly

    Last summer when I was job searching I got two rejections back to back that I was super hopeful for and it was such a bummer. One of them even gave me a very personal reason for not giving it to me which was not only hurtful but also strange. But then a week later the perfect position came my way and I got it! Sometimes it takes a bunch of tries and eventually the right thing comes along.

    Kristee…I’ve watched you through many seasons of life now and I have to say, this one is my favorite to watch because you are going & growing through so much. I’ve been a subscriber for probably around 10 years??? You are an incredible, qualified person and whichever job gives you the chance to shine will ultimately be so grateful they did. I’m sorry about the rejection. No easy way to put it besides it fucking sucks. Sending all the good vibes your way - enjoy this season of life and all it brings, despite moments like this. ❤️

    I applied for 2 jobs recently and the first job I interviewed for seemed like the PERFECT fit for me. I vibed so well with the team and the HR manager said the team loved me and the conversation we had. I didnt get the job. I was so sure i would get the job! It ruined my confidence with my second job interview with the other company. I had my other interview with the other higher up and more paying job. I got the job!!!!!! Don't give up. You'll find the job that's meant to be!

    Going through the same job process run!! Got through 4 rounds of interviews with a company & was ultimately rejected. I think I had subconsciously taken myself out of the mindset of job hunting while waiting for a response, so when I didn’t get it, it took a little bit to get my mind in that place again & “mourn the loss” of my life if I had gotten the job. This video definitely helped me to know I’m not the on,y one in this situation🙃 Good luck!!

    Also, from your rejection letters - see if you can have a follow up meeting with them. Ask them where you could improve, what advice they have for you moving forward and thank them for the opportunity anyway. Having follow up meetings after you don’t land the job is extremely helpful! Try it out, see what happens!

    Getting that rejection email is honestly the worst, but everything happens for a reason. I've been going through the interview process for the past 3 months and 13 interviews, 3 rejections, and 1 declined offer later and I got exactly the position I was looking for at exactly the place I wanted to be. Take your time and really look at each interview as a learning experience. I'm rooting for you!!!

You can inspire or help out by sharing useful information with random girls from many parts of the world (even if that is not your end goal) so, I'm 100% great things are coming your way!! I'm also looking for a job and figuring out some other stuff so, I feel the blurriness.. sending you my best wishes! pd: don't feel pressure to be smart or impressive like we tell you you are!! you can just be!!

    hey girl. i got laid off early this year and i'm still struggling to find a job. the job market is so freaking competitive and it's annoying that i know i'm overqualified for jobs and still don't get them. i know money is a big stressor, but tbh, i've been the happiest i've ever been since i was let go, because i realized how stressed and underpaid i was in that position. i know you enjoyed your previous job, and i certainly feel you on the job search struggle, but take advantage of the time off! the way i thought about is that i'd never get this much time off or have the time to do other stuff during the day. ofc i'm applying to jobs all the time, but there's only so many jobs posted everyday. just a thought. good luck on your search and thanks for keeping it real!

  • @accountforwastingtime
    @accountforwastingtime Рік тому

    I'm so sorry about the position! It's okay to feel upset & let down. The reason actually could have had to do with being overqualified, that's not always a good thing from a hiring standpoint bc maybe they can't pay what you deserve based on your experience, or they might be concerned you would have outgrown the role too quickly for ex. I doubt it had much at all to do with you yourself! I know that's so hard tho, esp when the hits just keep coming like you said :/

    Idk… I would encourage expanding your horizons when it comes to work. It can be good to narrow your options when you’re 1) extremely experienced 3) further along in your career. But I have found that my best opportunities were ones I was not very interested in or even looking for initially… idk - I just encourage you to maybe try some different things. Like I said, praying for the ideal job!

I don't know how people do this as a person who used to do it. Not trying to come off mean but maybe it's time to find something long term in the area of what you do so.... I would always be stressed about finding something every 9 months ..

    Rejection is hard - whether that’s a relationship, friendship, job, or something else. It feels like a failure, but it’s not - it moving away from something that wasn’t the right fit for you. I lost my job during Covid and it was hard to not feel lost trying to get another job when no one was hiring. You can apply 100 different places but all you need is one yes. You got this 🤍🫶🏽
