So rejection feels personal.

After weeks of interviews, I got the call:

“They went with someone else.”

I was devastated.
But here’s what I’ve learned since—
feedback isn’t always about you.

Sometimes it’s not your skill. It’s just not your space.

Job search reframe ↓

Yes, you need income. Yes, life is expensive.
But what if your next goal wasn’t just “get hired”…
it was “find a mentor”?

Reach out. Ask questions. Build connections that last longer than one paycheck.
