'I am in shock': Candidate interviews for a sales role and gets rejected, company founders impressed by response and decide their talents deserve a custom position

• Even if you’re prepared, there’s always that fear that you’re not enough, that someone else is sharper, wittier, or somehow more qualified. Every next step email feels like a mini heart attack, and every rejection chips away at your confidence.

  Which makes today’s story all the more remarkable. A candidate applies for a sales role at a startup, feels respected in every interview, and then gets rejected. But instead of a ded end, the founders were so impressed by their response that they decided to create an entirely custom role tailored to their talents. This story might just restore your faith in humanity.
