Recently, I went through two interviews and a technical test, only to receive an email saying the hiring process was paused. I’m unsure whether it’...

Great article. Looking forward to the next one 🙌
The only thing I would be careful about is taking advice from Andrew Tate. I don't want to tell you what to do, and the lesson you learned is a valid one indeed, but he is a known misogynist and demagogue.
well said 👏 not very surprising the author still hasn't got a job considering he is taking advice from someone who has been charged with being a human trafficking rapist who formed an organised crime group to sexually exploit women 😂
Thank you, Drazen.
Well, I don't know Andrew Tate to be that, what I know is I've been learning a lot from the insights he shares.
I'm also careful about taking advice from Andrew Tate.
👏
I also going through the same phase of life and started sharing blogs about what I have learned on daily basis. Even I have not joined any jobs since now I am pushing myself to focus on what I can control like upskilling myself and keep sharing with people who will be helped . The motivation here is Every time we will not be success .Sometimes we will fail to learn and improve ourself. Keep it up buddy . You will make it happen. Be motivated and keep motivating others. 🙌
Thank you so much, Akash; seeing others putting in the effort and working towards great goals is motivating!

Great! I just checked it out!
Yes, checked this too.
Thank you buddy😊
You're welcome man! 😎
You're welcome
Keep working hard, Ekemini,
Your post reminds me of when I went out to create Resume Matcher for this purpose.
🔥
Wow! ~5K + 1 stars. Great work mate!
Thanks a lot! ^^
Thank you, Saurabh.
Great work you did with Resume Matcher.
Did you also integrate AI features to it?
Not yet. It's in development. (Assuming by AI you mean Gen AI, not Machine Learning)
Okay, how's the development going?
Oh I meant AI generally, not just Gen AI/Machine Learning
It's going on . . . I won't say the progress is linear so far.
But going somewhere.
Alright, that's great!
Keep up the good work.
Exactly Ekemini, the only way to grow (or win) is to try hard.
It’s really hard when nothing seems to work but the only option is to keep moving forward.
I’ve been through those low moments too so I understand very well. Stay strong and work hard.
Yes Anmol, I just got to keep a positive mindset and continue taking action in the right direction.
Thank you for contributing ❤
It's comforting to know that I'm not alone on this. Dealing with rejection after applying to countless jobs can be disheartening, but focusing on what we can control is key,, we can turn rejection into the energy that propels us forward.
Exactly James, it's about redirecting that energy positively!
This is inspiring and beautiful motivation article you gat here. Thanks 🙏.. keep it up, one day we shall gather to also testify the good news . Some of us are in that shoe, but we keep pushing, that doesn't mean we are not competent developers, one thing is sure .
"God doesn't make mistakes".
Thank you, Onyeacholem.
Yes, one day at a time.
It's similar to Stoicism Philosophy! I'm really surprised!
Thanks for your contribution.
What part of the Stoicism philosophy are you referring to?
Focus on What You Can Control:
Win or Learn Mindset:
Reflect and Get Feedback:
Being Present and Celebrating Small Wins:
Using Rejection as Energy:
These are all Stoic vibes—focusing on your response, learning from tough moments, and keeping a positive outlook even when things don’t go your way.
Got it now! Thank you @henriquefcit for elaborating on it!
Great one man.
We will keep failing forward until we achieve our dreams. I believe that as we keep working hard, it will only be a matter of time - It will not be "if I win", but "when".
🦾
Thank you, Greg.
Yes, "when we win"- and that time is now. ❤
I appreciate your candor. Great mindset!
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable.
I'm also looking for a new job and can certainly relate to what you are going through.
I appreciate the healthful tips.
That's great, Jaemin!
Keep doing the good work.
Have you tried reaching out to companies that align with your job role on LinkedIn?
A great way to go about it could be like, “Thank god I won’t have to work for this idiot.” Because they must be not to hire you! :)
Another perspective right 😅
I am in the same boat as you.I was laid off from my dream job and am currently in the process of a difficult job search
Refine your skills and job search process, then keep improving, you got this, Hector.
Keep going 💪 don't give up
Yes I will keep going forward, it's an upward spiral!
Thank you!
I would also reiterate that you should be careful about taking advice from Andrew Tate and then publishing this on a blog post. You are aware that he has been charged with rape, human trafficking and forming an organised crime group to sexually exploit women?
Hahahah maybe you still haven't got a job because you are following his guidance 🤣 I certainly wouldn't be hiring anyone who supports someone like that
I have made so much progress applying the insights Andrew Tate shares.
This blog post is about sharing my experience and how I handle rejections when applying for jobs, so it's up to you to learn from what I share or not.
Thank you for your contribution.
I learned that I definitely wouldn't hire a Andrew Tate follower, and I imagine many others also did 👍🏻
That's what I feel and deal as a IT student.
Information Technology (IT) offers great career paths to grow; so while learning think of ways to bring value through projects you can work on and contribute to.
Keep doing the good work!
Thanks for the advice. I really needed it
Thank you very much for sharing, Ekemini. I bet we've all had our fair shares of rejections. How we take them is definitely what defines us going forward.
Yes, Daniel, perspective is very important.
So it's best to keep a good mindset.
I think part of the problem is applying to too many jobs at once.
Hundreds over the span of a few months is way way to much.
Start with like 3 at companies you like but that are not your top priority - just to practice
Then if you didn't get a role there - continue focusing on your most favorite companies
See - if companies get overwhelmed with applications they are in a way stronger position to choose. If they only get very few applications they have to think twice before rejecting you.
Of course that only works when all devs step back on over-applying but you should be part of the solution and spread the word
Also - if you're being laid off after short time - find a way to - legally (so don't lie etc.) shame those companies publicly (while you stay anonymous so you don't ruin your own reputation). Everyone in the city should know what they act like.
I won't comment on Andrew Tate as others did this already
I appreciate the focus on learning from experiences, but I find it troubling to reference figures like Andrew Tate. His views and actions towards women are harmful and not suitable sources of inspiration. It's crucial to seek guidance from individuals who promote respect and equality instead.

If i may, you should consider listening to George Hotz instead of Andrew Tate ;)
