Great article Ellen! I don’t take rejection well and there’s been twice in my career when I’ve been in the last two. In one instance I was told by the interviewer it was me or a man. They added and he can’t get pregnant. The second a recruiter told me. Furthermore that he was a college friend of one of the interviewees. I never stood a chance and the salary was a life changing sum. In fact they rewrote the job role for him as what they’d originally advertised for didn’t match his experience. Obviously both roles weren’t meant for me but leaves a bitter taste. The recruitment process is fundamentally flawed and unfair and you just have to make peace with that.
