It is disheartening, especially if you get to the latter stages. Many moons ago, it always felt weird when I met someone from HR or Engineering at a company I interviewed at in a conference or a talk and they wave like -
hey Vagrant! How are you doing? How's life? You got around to launching that project? We were so intrigued by it...blah blah blah
It just felt...patronizing. Maybe it's made worse by the fact that the city is tight knit and you're bound to bump into people from the industry. But I can't stand it.
- latchkey 5y agoI hear you, it certainly is. Similar is asking a someone out. The people who realize it is just a numbers game, usually end up getting more dates. =) Some people take this as an opportunity to grow a thicker skin and change their game so they have more chances for success.
- vagrantJin 5y agoIs it a thick skin thing? Maybe. Rejection still hurts even though my reaction now is little more than a shrug.
- latchkey 5y agoWhat was your reaction before? Of course rejection hurts. Some people shrug and let it roll off never to think about it again. Some people get mad. Some people use it as motivation to do bigger things.
