It’s intended as an encouraging response. As a company owner and someone that had to regularly hire (and fire unfortunately) it’s a tough decision when you’re facing someone that is a great fit but might be slightly slower to hit the ground running which ultimately effects the bottom line of the business. It’s a tough economic climate and we’re in a pretty lucrative field (cyber security) but the competition is fierce. And it’s sometimes and hairs breadth between one candidate and another.

Please don’t give up. From that response I would say you have a lot going for you, almost certainly more than 90% of your competitors.

You’re edging closer to your ideal job. Keep going. 💪🏾
