This is a brilliant thread. I recently got rejected (for a non-tech job) but at the time, I realised what potential employers were seeking. They were keen to have a round peg for their round holes without appreciating the holistic ideas I would have brought on the table. I don't blame them. They are besotted by credentials - like everyone else. Though, from this point of failure, I have learned more about leadership than what an online course could teach me. Even though I exceed their credentials (I am qualified for the job), I didn't let a committee decide my sense of self-worth. I wished them good luck with the search process.
