I had an interview for a job recently. During it they complained about being short staffed. To get to that point I had to apply for the job then take an online assessment then do a phone interview. I emailed them for an update and received this reply.
Hi Anon!
At this time, we are moving forward with other candidates.
Thank you for your time!
A lot of effort and hoop jumping for nothing and I haven't really learned anything from this failure. I left the interview feeling confident which rarely happens. I try to learn something from failure but I don't know what to tale from this.
Perhaps learning is irrelevant and it's best to just ignore and repeat.
