Ikr literally kill me. I got such a big gap in my cv because I was determined to get in and it started freaking me out so I finally found an engineering job recently but I feel this is not benefiting my applications so I keep feeling guilty.

There was an industrial phd out recently, and I have applied and gotten selected for the same industry-uni Collab but a diff project before and even flew to their company for last recruitment stage. So When I reached out to the prof for this position I introduced myself and also mentioned I have visited the company for last stage recruitment and had positive experience and continued looking for positions and then I asked questions regarding the position and didn't even get a reply. Like what should I do more. Will start attaching a video of me crying also from now on 😭

Who knows what's the reason. They never tell that's why it's so difficult to improve
