How to deal with rejection at design interviews

Practical tips

Rejection hurts

I prepared for a design job for months. I went through 4 stages of the interview. I prepared a portfolio specifically for this job. I did a presentation for the company. I passed the numerical and verbal reasoning tests. I got great marks on the psychological test. I did well on the whiteboard challenge. I met the team and we clicked. Everything went so well, I was pumped after each meeting. I thought I really found my tribe where I could do great things. I wanted to belong.
