What happened to you is illegal in some countries, and that companies with that mentality should cease to exist.

I totally agree with "no time for pitty party".

For me job seeking is more like a marathon runner. It's a mental game, not too slow but also not too fast. Keep my head cool and move on if I got rejected.

Thanks very much for sharing this post with us!

Yeah, I usually try to look at the positives whenever I do get rejected. I think just the number of rejections plus the stress of losing a job right after having a baby made it harder to get over this time around. It worked out in the end though.

Really like your analogy with running, except that I don't like running.

For me it's really hard to apply for the next job when the decision of an interview is still open. - The real downside that I'm wasting a lot of time that way.
