Speaking as an old fart who has been around the block for a bit, I'd tell you this -- get used to it. This is how the real world works. A company (or equivalent) is looking for the right person to suit their needs, and if you aren't that person, you are nothing to them. They are not your mom and dad, meaning that they have no responsibility to look after you if your ego got injured as a result of not getting hired.
Now, when you do get hired, the good companies (or those with good management) will make some effort to accommodate you and your pecularities. At that point, you are an asset to them. But don't get too comfortable because even if you were to be in a union gig, if management wants to get rid of you, chances are they will find a way.

Is this how all companies' hiring processes are these days? It's really kinda shitty. |
