@missy23232: Job searching often creates emotional whiplash — one positive conversation can bring hope, while one rejection can feel crushing. Confidence feels unstable not because you lack ability, but because uncertainty takes a real emotional toll. Telling people to “just stay positive” ignores how rejection actually impacts the nervous system. Learning how to process disappointment and stay grounded is just as important as interview preparation. #TikTokCreatorSearchInsightsIncentive #jobsearch #careeradvice #LearnItOnTikTok

I had a interview 3 weeks ago. I was complimented from start to finish by the 3 hiring managers interviewing me.. received the rejection last week.. I bawled my eyes out for almost 4 days

I just recently went through this with positions that I checked all of the boxes on. It will definitely crush your spirit and have you doubting your work ability and history, even more yourself.

Ghosting is tiring… too many interviews they take on. They also don’t care. So many applicants.

Thank-you! This is the worst job market I have ever seen. It is emotionally draining. Your advice is spot on.

As a rejection sensitive person to the level of disability, I only apply to positions I truly believe I can be successful and a good fit. The ghosting from all levels cut deep. Any suggestions?

The emotional roller coaster is hard! Especially when you’re diligently researching the company and fall in love with their online presence before you even apply! 😭

I just watched this with my husband, been unemployed since Sept 25, in his 50s, would get really far in the interview, good interviews, then crickets or rejection. He just started a job this week, seems to be a good fit. But here to say this emotional swing is real, sending good vibes to everyone in this space, hang in there! 🍀🤞

The number of times I have been ghosted after more than 3 interviews with a company is insane…I’m trying to understand if this is normal or if companies feel they can do this because they can. It’s really been frustrating…but this post is spot on. The roller coaster is real…from struggling to having 3 interviews in one day!! Fingers crossed my journey concludes this month 🙏

I can’t even get an interview! 25 years experience. Rewrite resume for every position- then nothing! Doing my best to stay strong but man this is something else.

I’m glad you said this. There are a lot of people getting laid off and trying to find a job - just adds insult to injury. It’s awful for people. Thank you for coming out and saying this . I appreciate you.

The highs are so high and short lived. The lows are brutal. So much truth in this video. Candidates - now you know how recruiting feels. Not a comment intended to be a touché directed at candidates. Recruiters feel it too. We just just push through it…. Everyday.
