I can’t land an offer to save my life…

I have done interview after interview after interview after interview. I’ve done interviews that were 1 and done, I’ve done interviews that were 8 rounds and a 2 month process… at this point I’m just done.

I’m hit with the same rejection response every single time. It’s always “someone with more experience”. This response in itself just infuriates me because I’m approaching 5 years of experience in my field so it’s not like I’m an entry level employee interviewing for entry level roles.

A while ago, I assumed I was continuously rejected because I had bad interview skills, so I began to ask for detailed feedback on where I may be falling short after every one of my interviews. The response is always the same there as well, “we enjoyed the interview, BUT…..”.

I just find it very hard to believe that as many jobs that I’ve interviewed for, every single time there’s just someone out there with MORE experience than I have. Especially not someone with more experience and better interview skills than me. I mean every single interview I have goes over the allotted time just because of how great the conversation is between the interviewer and I. I always use the STAR method to answer each behavioral question and whenever I reference a relevant project. Yet every, single, time, I’m met with the same response in the end.

I don’t even know what to do at this point, I’m just done.
