I had multiple interviews with this company and they seemed really eager to have me onboard. The last thing they requested was a “meet and greet”, where they’d give me a tour and send me on the way.
I show up, greet everyone with great aplomb, and they give me a tour. I made sure to engage with questions, show my interest, laying it on real thick because that’s how people get ahead in this world. We even had informal chit chat about our everyday lives.
I get an email today saying that they rejected me. I asked why and they said “your level of engagement during the process seemed low–in other words the team felt that perhaps you didn't express much interest in the role itself”. I literally told them this is my ideal position and my #1 choice. I don’t know what else I could have done.
I hate the corporate world and all this merry-go-round BS you have to do to get a job. I’m stuck at my shitty job and I feel like I have nothing else to give. I feel like giving up.
