The phone screen took place in January 2025. The interviewer had a bit of a serious demeanor, which made me a little nervous. I felt like I was talking to a wall at times, but I did my best to stay engaged. I reached out to the recruiter a couple of times, hoping for some updates, but didn’t hear back. After a month, I got a rejection email. Although it wasn’t the outcome I was hoping for, I see it as a chance to learn and grow for future opportunities!
