#JobInterview #InterviewFatigue #RescheduledInterview #Rejection #Ghosted
Can you imagine being all geared up for a job interview, ready to impress, only to have no one show up on the other side of the Zoom call? 😩 That’s the situation I found myself in recently. It left me feeling totally drained and discouraged.
After being ghosted and feeling rejected, I just couldn’t bring myself to attend the rescheduled interview. Has anyone else experienced something similar?
Here are some tips to combat interview fatigue:
– Practice self-care and mindfulness techniques before interviews 🧘
– Take breaks between interviews to recharge 💆
– Remember that rejection is not a reflection of your worth 💪
As for not attending the rescheduled interview, it might be worth considering reaching out to the recruiter to explain your feelings. Maybe they would still be open to considering you for future opportunities.

What did you gain by waiting until that particular point to decide not to participate any more?
The recruiter messing up does not translate to an improved chance of you getting the job. They will not “make up for it”.
I’m suffering from the same thing, and I just try and remind myself that if I’m getting interviewed, at least my resume did its job in that I’ve got through the first barrier. Also, each interview (I’m not getting many), my interviewing skills improve a little bit.
For me, it’s really hard trying to sell myself when I’m not skilled as a salesperson (my skills are in other areas).
I’ve had a zoom person ghost me twice in my life…they get 15 minutes after start time at the most. If they don’t call or email to explain what happened by the end of the following business day, I move on and will never apply to them again. If they don’t respect your time, they won’t respect you and probably not a good place to work.
*by person I mean interviewer, I was the applicant. Just to be clear.
They wouldn’t have made up for it. Based on lived experiences.
>I’m assuming they would have hired me to make up for it
Not sure what gives you that idea
I so deeply resonate with the lines “having to open myself up to random strangers” being disheartening and really frustrating. Interviewers/ People don’t get this. When I’m mad because you didn’t reach out to even tell me I got rejected I’m not mad I was rejected. I’m mad that I spent the time, opened myself up to a bunch of strangers, and energetically waited for your response for days only to never get one. That’s just unprofessional. Special place in hell for all y’all out there
Really try to adopt the attitude that you probably will not get an offer. Saves you some emotional pain. You should still go for it. Luck is a huge factor (because of all the unknowns), sadly this lottery like system is the only way. So keep buying lottery tickets and don’t feel bad about rejection, since rejection is the norm.
For this & many other reasons, I’ve learned to **dramatically lower** my expectations to the bare minimum or less. I don’t even care if I get a job that pays below the federal minimum wage at this point. Any job will do. As long as I know I’m being a productive member of society, all of a sudden my mental health isn’t so bad.
Recruiter screwed up, and since they are above reproach, nothing will happen from their massive blunder.
We all should be going into HR instead of whatever we’re wasting time on.
Same thing happened to me recently. Got the interview and just sat and waited and waited and finally nothing. It just blows me how these recruiters are moving right now.
