Just got job rejection

...See more Hi, to anyone reading this, thank you so much for having me here. I'll go by the name romanceDawn, my real name is "Dawn" translated into my country's language. I'm a 22 y.o. Currently still in the last semester of college while also trying to build a career as a designer, mainly in UI/UX and web design. I joined this platform about an hour ago because I just got a rejected offer for an internship position that I made through a technical test and interview stage last week. Honestly, I've been waiting for this announcement this whole week because the recruitment session feels like it's going nice and I'm so confident that they will take me to join their team. I know I should never hope for things that I can't control, I know that pretty well, but, it's just a hard, uneasy feeling to be rejected, especially when I am just one step away. For an additional story, it's not like I get a rejected email. I knew about my rejection because I saw someone on LinkedIn posting that they just got that position. When I was interviewing last week, the recruiter indeed said that the announcement would be in the next week and that's why I was waiting for it until it never came and I saw that post on LinkedIn. I know this is a simple story, I was going through various rejections before and I know you guys here also may experience the same. But, it's still hurt. I was hoping for it, I was so confident because I excelled at the technical test and the interview. But, yeah, what can I do? I know my skill is still low, I know I need to keep practising and don't lose hope. But sometimes, seeing other people, who if I may say, have a lower qualification than me, getting more opportunities, it just makes me feel sad. I know what I should do which is to keep going but, I need to talk like this and seek feedback. I don't know, I just want to express my feelings. Thanks for reading this long. I talked about this and my struggle to find jobs for various people, like my girlfriend, my close friend, and even my mentor. Their advice is just the same mostly, as we know this current economy is bad and many companies are not hiring positions publicly, or even when they do, the applicants are so massive. I know that pretty well, though I still need to improve my skills. I don't know what to say, I just feel so sad and want some support. I hope by writing this I can read what you think and you can respond all you want to me. I know in the end I should keep going no matter what especially for things that are out of my control. Well, I hope the best for me. Thanks for reading. Have a nice day!
