I applied online for a position that caught my interest. After two weeks of anticipation, I received a phone call from a Talent Acquisition Specialist. The call was informative and gave me a brief overview of the role and responsibilities associated with the position. I was also informed that there would be two rounds of interviews - a virtual interview lasting 1 hour and 45 minutes, and an onsite interview.
The virtual interview was scheduled a week after the call. It was a bit nerve-wracking as it was split into three sessions with three different individuals - a Senior Manager, a Project Manager, and the Hiring Manager. Each session was a unique experience, with the first two lasting for half an hour each, and the final one with the Hiring Manager lasting for 45 minutes.
The interview went well, or so I thought. I felt confident in my responses and believed I had made a good impression. However, two days later, I received the typical rejection email. It was disappointing, but I reminded myself that every interview, whether it leads to a job offer or not, is a learning experience.
