A talent acquisition agent reached out a day after I applied to the company website and scheduled an interview two days later. The interview took place on Microsoft Teams and lasted about twenty minutes. At the end, the hiring manager told me she was "very impressed" with my resume and interview and that she would reach out the next day with the outcome. I was feeling extremely hopeful that I finally found a company to grow with.
Five days later, I didn't hear anything back, so I sent her an e-mail. I didn't get a response. I sent an e-mail to the talent acquisition agent. I didn't get a response. I sent a message through the company website. Minutes later, I get a generic rejection e-mail saying they've decided to pursue other candidates who more closely match the needs of the position.
