Looking for some encouragement today.
I had my heart set on a particular company and was told I was moving forward to next rounds. Days later I was informed that now I'm not.
I will say that my first interview did give me pause. The recruiter was rushed and curt in her answers with me. Her level of engagement was pretty non-existent. I gave her the benefit of the doubt because people do have bad days. Any words of wisdom from fellow job seekers?

Try to see the silver lining. Would you rather interview with a crappy person at a crappy company or be unaware of the crappiness until you get there. See it as you were being protected and keep pressing on. No need to psychoanalyze or read deep into it. Some people are shitty, some environments are shitty, plain and simple. Keep searching for that environment that will see the potential and value in you. Keep your head up and good luck!
