If you keep getting rejected and they're starting to become a theme, you need to be aware of that. A large majority of the reason why that you got rejected for a job is not because of you. There is internal shifting happening. Managers don't even really know what they want right now. They know they need somebody, but they don't know exactly what they need until they see it. So then you're just kind of like a guinea pig, right? It's not your fault because of that, 'cause there's no intentionality in the interview process. Again, intentionality, that word that keeps coming up. And so I wanna tell you, especially for the individuals who are still looking for a job and you're struggling right now, and I understand it, for the most part, it's not you. Now, I will tell you this, you have to be aware though, right? If you keep getting rejected and they're starting to become a theme, you need to be aware of that, right? The biggest thing I continually hear is, well, I got— I've just ghosted, okay? Ghosting is probably the worst, but ghosting also signals that they don't know what they want necessarily.
