A Reddit user recently shared a surprising turn of events after receiving a job rejection, only to get an offer a few hours later. The user had appeared for two rounds of remote interviews at a company for a role that matched their experience. Already working remotely, the applicant mentioned they were seeking an additional job, but clarified that availability would not be an issue.
Rejection Followed by Clarification
Days after the interviews, the user received a rejection email. Curious about the reason, they sent a follow-up asking for feedback. The company responded, stating, “They really liked me and I was a top-three candidate, but my availability was the main issue for them. But strangely, they also asked me in the same email, ‘Are you sure that you can work full time?’”
