    So I did this interview for Software Engineering position with a startup and apparently I did fine. Now they would like to move forward with the process and do the 2nd interview. :doh: Lately, I've been receiving so many rejections that I don't even know how to react to this news. Can someone please help? ;P

      Be happy, go there, do your best and go back home with peace of conscience If they reject you afterwars and you know you are good, their loss. You will find another thing.

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

          Ah so now the shoe is on the other foot, you get to reject THEM bwahhh bwahhh. Be polite, be gentle you know how it feels to be on the end of one of these rejections. Assumes you do not actually want the position!

              Reminds me of an interview I faced in 1995. They asked me to solve a puzzle, and while I was thinking, and writing some notes on the paper, three pairs of eyes were minutely watching every move, every pen stroke of mine. It was embarrassing, and no doubt, I got rejected. But, that was like a practice exam, because I eventually got selected somewhere else. So, have patience, and continue to persevere.

                Means selected. So, prepare well for the next round, and all the best.

                    Second interview, same venue ... New secretary? Beware the double application form. Since you filled out the first one ... IF you have to go through that again, for instance, she hands you a form which you've already filled out, ask to see the first one and say "I have some information to add to it". IF it is the actual record (which is what you want really) ... take it and proceed to your seat to "fill it out/alter it". Spill coffee on it and smudge chocolate bar (if you have one; consider THIS tip a warning). Go back and explain the problem and ask for a brand new application form. Chances are you've got your original now plus a new form ... head for the in-door. Leave. Run past security. Exit building. Technically, you haven't been rejected and you've, for all intents and purposes, added to the list of things you've done, snatched your personal information from the talons of a bird who file-pads for a living and is now failing at her job. AND you can now deal with rejection and have something positive to think about ... why rejection can be so sweet! (Practically a true story):cool:
