As someone who has peer-reviewed multiple personality trait-driven psychological journals for "hiring the right candidate", you touched on two things this company will undoubtedly regret later on. You took their rejection and exercised your freedom to talk about it on social media which is a very noble thing to do like you did in this situation when you are more or less, vulnerable from most over-arching perspectives. This not only shows the strength of character but it segues and concretes that fact with how you followed it up, you went above and beyond the task at hand asked of you and it doesn't sound like you did so in some vain attempt to sail off on some ephemeral sailboat on an ocean of solipsism. That lends itself to your industriousness, your acceptance and demonstrates the value you hold for your abilities in a multi-faceted position and while being held down by rejection, it highlights your potentiality for being able to persevere through the worst of times which means you're destined to enjoy the best of times.

When a job overlooks such traits, don't feel bad about yourself, you're obviously a talented individual and I have a feeling that you'll start to find things getting better. Nothing of great importance or dejected of value because of its ability to manifest something so amazing words can't do justice to it goes unnoticed for long. Stay strong and never be afraid to share these types of stories. We all face the proverbial wolf at the door, cooperatively, our shadow will always triumph over that of it, we needn't show our teeth so long as we possess the capacity to know our own strength and our potentiality to be greater than the opposition.

Alias, I wish I knew your real name so I could properly thank you! This is one of the kindest and most genuine responses I've ever received. You have brought genuine tears to my eyes as well.

Thank you so much for your kind words and please accept this virtual hug 🤗 and know that you made a stranger's day, and I hope your kindness is paid in full!

I am glad the message was received well, this pandemic has a lot of people blinded by the truth. Life is, I suspect at its primitive core, suffering.

So continue to live presently cognizant of the sacrifices needed for a forthright future to positively exploit your own potentiality towards the future that could be, that should be.
