    Feeling Miscellaneous Thinking

    I recently interviewed for a position that I was really excited about. The company had a solid mission that resonated with me, and I felt it was the perfect opportunity at this stage in my career. I went through the interview process and felt like I did well, but unfortunately, I received a rejection notice. It hit me hard, and I can't help but feel like a failure. I've tried various roles, including call centers, but I know that my strengths lie in IT. The disappointment is overwhelming, and I just want to scream or run into a wall. I know I need to keep pushing forward, but right now, it feels really tough.

    Applied to a Job Feeling Miscellaneous Planning Thinking

    I recently reflected on my experiences in the job market, particularly in the call center industry. This year, I applied for three positions, all related to inbound calls. One job I won't go into detail about felt like a sweatshop, which was a huge red flag for me. I did consider two reputable call centers; however, I turned one down and had a strange experience with the other that felt like a bait and switch. My instincts were telling me to leave, and I listened. Now, I'm still on the hunt for a job, but I find myself questioning how others manage to stay in call center roles for extended periods. I've heard jokes about how the smartest people often don't last through training, and that seems to resonate with my experience as I struggled to make it through. My current job search strategy has been to apply for anything I can find, but I realize that this approach may not be the best way forward.
