Hey Stephanie,
That seems like such a long time to wait only to receive some disheartening news. I am sorry about that. I think you’re right though that this may not be the best workplace to be involved in. I am sure there are bigger and better things in store. Great perspective and good luck. -
Stephanie, I get how frustrating it must have been dealing with the long wait and then receiving a vague rejection for the project director job. It’s tough not knowing why you didn’t get it and not getting any useful feedback after asking for it. It’s clear you’re eager to learn and improve, which is commendable. The silence from the hiring team was definitely not cool, and it’s understandable that it made you lose interest in working there. You’re smart to look for similar jobs elsewhere. It’s a shame that some companies don’t prioritize giving feedback, especially when applicants are genuinely interested in getting better. Your point about the high number of applications and the role of AI filtering is spot on. It’s sad to think that many people might not even try to get feedback, missing out on chances to improve. Keep your chin up and keep looking for opportunities. You’re determined, and that’s what counts. Better things are sure to come your way.

Hi Stefanie! I am sorry to hear that you had that experience with your most recent job-seeking opportunity. I have had a similar experience with some of the companies that recruit at the College of Business career fair. What I find most frustrating is that as business students, the college really stresses the importance of sending follow-up emails requesting constructive criticism so we are able to grow and advance ourselves before the next employment opportunity arises. So I can relate to the disheartening feeling when that effort is met with just hearing crickets. Being on the other side of things now in my current position as a recruiter, regardless of how many applicants I am dealing with, I find it relatively easy to still be able to respond to any follow-up emails requested by denied applicants. So, I am confident that it was likely due to a lack of organization, poor virtual communication skills or simply getting lost in the emails.

Hey, I am so sorry that happened to you. Your experience reminded me of getting an email and being rejected from the other two dream schools I wanted to attend. I can only imagine the frustration you felt when they did not give any feedback as to why you were not accepted. By the sound of it, you are a really hard worker and are very passionate about what type of work you do. With that work ethic, there is bound to be a better opportunity for you out there. I know there are some online websites I believe that can give possible feedback on what you are lacking on your resume for particular jobs if you ever want to try and go for the job opening again. I wish you the best of luck!
