Rant for getting rejected for no reason.
Was under a 3 month long process for an internship position at FAANG level company. Had multiple rounds of interview and breezed through all. Was on the last stage of the interview which was yet to be scheduled and received an email from the recruiter that I've been rejected because they have found better candidates who have completed all the rounds and I had one round remaining. A week back I shared my availability for the last round and was following up daily for the schedule but didn't receive any response from the recruiter end and now this. Such a shitty hiring process.
That's okay tbh, there are always more people interviewing. They close rounds as soon as selections are done.
Market is bad though, best of luck with your search. Do share your experience and resume here so others can reach out.
They scheduled an interview call and then cancelled it 30mins before. And never called me back again. That was a life changing interview moment for me. I don't take these fuckers seriously anymore.
In this shitshow I'd say even getting that rejection email is something to be grateful for. Recruiters outright ghost you suddenly after being your bffs through all previous rounds. You follow up for weeks before finally giving up, then suddenly months later after you've probably started a new job they'll reach out saying ke chalo scheduling the next round tomorrow. It's a dirty game. The earlier you develop a thick skin and don't take it seriously the better.
PS: All the best in your job hunt! Hang in there, something good will come of it ✌️
