Hi lovely, I just want to give my two cents.just told i failed my Sidley HR call. i'm lowkey convinced im just unlikable because i've failed 2 ACs and couldn't pass this call. i did so much research so idk where im going wrong atp.
also they don't even give feedback?
First, this is not a reflection of you. Building off what summersun said, there are so many arbitrary factors that play into decisions. Sometimes it really is a question of fit, luck, and timing.
To give you an example, I myself have failed multiple assessment centres in the past. But guess what? In between those failures, there were also firms who “liked” me (to put it in your words). Had I only applied to a limited range of firms, I might be in the same position as you today. I’m not saying this to compare our situations, but to hopefully show you that there is still hope, heaps of it.
So I hope you take encouragement from this and know that there are firms out there for you, and that sometimes it’s really not you. I trust that you will find the firm for you!
But I’d also like to preface that sometimes it is also a combination of technique rather than your “likability”. To stand out nowadays, interview technique is super important and I personally struggle with it myself! The more your practice though, the better you will get. So take this opportunity as a lesson and I’ve no doubt you will thrive next time
They're going to be sad they missed out on a gem though! You'll be onwards to better!
