How do you handle rejection after going through four rounds of interviews? The team seemed very positive and gave me the impression they were highly interested in moving forward with me.

What am I doing wrong that I have had 6 interviews at Ford over the past 2 years and can’t get hired. I am so frustrated there is no feed back.

This may sound weird but hear me out. I have an interview coming up for a role that I have a strong suspicion is not a good fit for me. So I figure this is a good opportunity to try out some things that I’ve never been brave enough to do before. E.g. try to prioritize making personal connection over demonstrating the fit. I’m looking for more ideas though. Do you have any suggestions or questions that I can try? Happy to report back with results!

Ever go into an interview wanting the job on paper but realize they really wanted a check the box person not one who wants to do real change or improvement?

I’ve started judging companies by how they reject candidates. Some places make you feel respected even with a no. I received the nicest rejection email today that let me down easy and still made me feel hopeful about my next interview. Others just ghost like a situationship. Can’t help but wonder how they think they’ll attract great talent they treated that way in the past?
