Job Seekers Read This by AJVC(op): 2:59pm On Nov 07, 2018
I applied for an internal job vacancy. Aced the interview but still got rejected even though I was the top candidate. I later learned the person hired was a friend of my boss. I got tired of the office politics and started applying externally, and within 3 months I got a much better job. My ex-boss asked me to come back for the same job. I told him thanks but no thanks.

Lessons learned:

1. You can be the best candidate and still not get selected.

2. If you didn't get the job, it wasn't meant for you.

3. You weren't rejected, you were re-directed.

4. Your value does not decrease based upon someone's inability to see your worth.

5. Believe in yourself, keep trying and the right door will open for you.
