    Applied to a Job Feeling Thinking

    I just had a really tough experience after almost 8 months of applying for jobs. I finally landed an interview today, and it felt like it went really well. I spoke with the main manager I would be working with, and he even asked when I could start. I said immediately, and we discussed the starting pay and some personal details like my clothing size. He then introduced me to the General Manager, but I got a strange vibe from him. An hour later, I received a phone call saying they decided not to fill the position. I was feeling so hopeful, and now it feels like I got punched in the gut. It's hard not to let this setback affect my motivation.

    Applied to a Job Feeling Miscellaneous Thinking

    I lost my job last September due to an ownership change, and since then, I've been actively applying for positions through Indeed and LinkedIn. In the past, I never had issues landing interviews quickly, but now I'm approaching 10 months without a single interview request. The only responses I receive are rejections like 'the job has been filled' or 'we have decided to move forward without filling the position.' I've heard that companies might be using AI to screen applicants, and I'm wondering if there's something new I should be doing to improve my chances. I'm starting to feel discouraged and would appreciate any advice or insights from others who might be in a similar situation.
