Hmmm…this question holds a few good life lessons. First, the world is often not fair. Second, just because you’re smart doesn’t mean you’re the best option from an employer’s perspective. Employers have to consider many factors: communication skills, team & relational skills, work ethic, experience… or even connections and recommendations. Third, comparing yourself with others makes for a rough time. I’m sure employers are impressed with your strengths. Focus on improving yourself in other areas. Best of luck coming out on top next time!
Thanks for being so supportive to our friend! I agree wholeheart- er – whole-foundation-ally. Finding a job is a hard process for everyone and you never know what an employer is really looking for when they post a job description. You’ll find the right one eventually!
