‘I got rejected again’: Job candidate says company created a role just for her — only to offer it to an internal employee
A job candidate's video went viral on TikTok after she shared how a company created a job role for her only to end up giving it to someone else.
The video features Tiktok user Wesley Anna (@itswesleyanna) who posts content about her job search. In this video, she reveals how one of her recent job searches transpired.
“I got rejected again,” Wesley starts off the video. She explains how she originally applied for a different position at a company but that it was already filled.
However, she says the company was “so excited about” her that they were going to “create a role specifically” for her. Unfortunately, Wesley says she ended up getting rejected yet again since the company gave that role to someone else.
