I wasn't officially looking for work (yet), but I was offered a chance to interview for a job that seemed ideal.
Except -
I blew the phone interview. Badly. I got nervous and overly concerned about using proper terminology and blanked out on questions I knew the answers to.
Sigh.
I didn't get a follow-up in-person interview. And I expected that I wouldn't get an offer.
I was grateful that they emailed me to tell me I wasn't getting the position, instead of leaving me hanging.
But I found the rejection email confusing.
It stated "We encourage you to follow us and see if there are other roles in the future that may be a good fit."
Umm. How would that work? I applied for the job I thought I was qualified for. You politely disagreed.
If I were to apply again, it would be the same type of job.
Would I magically be more qualified in the near future?
I'm sure the text was just boilerplate that someone thought would be comforting.
It wasn't.
