If anybody has been following my misfortunes, I've applied to a substantial number of jobs and have gotten to final / higher interview stages. I've gone through the whole process with most of the prospective employers of the first wave and while some feedback is helpful: -not following the STAR system, -not being able to explain my experience to audiences from a different industries. Other feedback has been not as helpful, for the following companies I made it through 3rd and 4th stage interviews to tell me "I didn't have the competencies needed". The last one, which is the one I'm thinking of ignoring in full even suggests I look for completely different types of jobs (mind you I've gone for that type of role too and got rejected saying I didn't fit that profile either!) I know this last cycle I most likely failed it because of language skills, but instead of saying that, they came up with that conclusion of "wrong type of job". Mind you I met with the hiring manager two weeks BEFORE I had the interview in French (which was for the part chit chat), so I'm sure if my profile was not the best for that team, they definitely would have figured that out before wasting the 4th interviewer's time. It's also annoying because it's going against my whole "tactical gameplay" for getting a job.
