I thought I was too old to intern (college degree, experience, good resume, etc) but a friend connected me with a company to interview for a 3month paid internship. worked a part-time job while interning. got hired full-time immediately after the internship. tbh I don't have the biggest ego, but this was one of those 'take a step back & take two steps forward' kind of moments. very grateful and lucky.
hope this encourages you!

Be yourself ofc…but also there are some things you don’t need to reveal—ambiguity, doubts, for example. I had a few job interviews where I was really honest and said that the position would be a chance for me to ‘explore’ XYZ profession when I should’ve lied and said there was nothing more in the world that I wanted than to have that job and do that work. In other words be enthusiastic and act committed — good luck!

got a call today saying i didn’t get the job i’d been in the interview process for.
i did multiple rounds of interviews, a test project, and took the 7 hour train from rva to nyc to meet them in person.
the recruiter told me the company decided to shift this position overseas (most likely corporate bullshit to get cheaper labor), but that the team had wanted to hire me.
i said i was disappointed, but thank you for being so open and communicative in this process, you don’t get that in a lot of corporate settings these days.
she sighed and said she appreciated me being so gracious in light of the sad news, mentioning that many folks end up yelling or lashing out at her for decisions she wasn’t in control to make.
while im sad at the situation and disappointed in myself, i’m also keep playing the conversation over in my head, feeling like it was important. like the compassion on both our sides could lead to something greater. something bigger.
right now, i will let my self feel sadness and wallow in the disappointment, but i wont let go of the thread of fate pulling me forward.
