I just came back from an interview that I did my best on. I answered all the questions in a professional and relevant manner, I didn’t stutter and I was honest. In many instances, they were amazed and curious at my experiences and how they correlated to the position.
But then I asked that fateful question that a lot of people recommend asking. The question that exemplifies your ability to take criticism. “Is there anything about this interview or my resume that makes you hesitant on hiring me?”
They paused as they didn’t expect that kind of question. After about 4 seconds, they spilled it. I was young. I didn’t have a lot of relevant experience and they aren’t comfortable going with someone that hasn’t had a lot of experience in this line of work before. Then they began referencing me to other positions within the department that I may be a good fit for. Positions that have not had any openings in a while. I was there for position A, and now they’re saying I’d do great in position B. That affirmed my belief that they are not going to hire me. I choked a bit but ultimately thanked them for considering me as much as they did given my background. I thanked them for their time and left.
I am defeated as I practiced a ton for that interview. Created truthful answers to multiple questions that any recruiter would ask for that line of work, so I would be ready if they were asked. I rushed from my shift over to get dressed and make myself presentable, as they knew I worked for that same department in another position. But I did the best I could. I’m not disappointed in my abilities, but bummed that it didn’t go another way. I grow weary of where I’m at and continue to strive to get out as my mental health has taken a toll.
I am only venting but I shall continue to try.
