Another day, another job rejection.
It's been almost three months since my layoff, and I keep getting close, and then losing out at the end.
This time, I had an interview with the hiring manager, two live coding challenges, and then another interview with upper management. In the end, they told me I didn't have enough front-end experience for the position. They had another candidate with more front-end experience than me. They wanted to bring me on anyway as another back-end developer, but the budget didn't warrant it.
So, I didn't do anything wrong, and they were impressed with my experience and talent, but still not enough to get the job.
This is frustrating, but also really getting scary. My savings is not going to last forever, and my insurance coverage ends at the end of August.
Anybody with any leads on jobs that maybe aren't posted yet, for a Senior or Staff developer in PHP or go (or some other language that I can learn), I would be forever grateful for them.
Thanks. Already applied there. Didn't even get so much as an automated response.
@danjones000 If you did not receive automated response, either the system didn't receive your email or your provider blocked Nextcloud's email. There is an automated response. Who's your email provider?
You know what, actually, I want back and checked. I had just forgotten the automated response I'd received. I did, in fact, get an email back with the subject line "Thank you for applying with Nextcloud [Ticket#9660561]" from Dietlinde Lutsch. Never got anything else after that, so I guess they passed on me.
I'd be happy if you could check on it for me. I was actually kind of excited about the prospect of working with NextCloud, and I have over 15 years of experience in PHP, so it seemed like an ideal job for me. NextCloud is such a great project, and I would've loved to work on it full-time.
In any case, thanks for letting me know about it.
