I recently had a trial day at a company for a junior designer role, and I felt really good about how it went. Unfortunately, I received an email saying I was rejected because another candidate had slightly more experience. However, the email also mentioned that they really liked my skillset, positivity, and enthusiasm. They seemed impressed by my potential and suggested that I could be a strong fit for a similar role within the company. They even expressed interest in having conversations about this new opportunity if I was open to it. I'm left wondering if this means they genuinely want me for that role or if I need to go through the application process again.
