'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

Interviews are always scary. Not the kind of scary where you watch a horror movie, but the "please don't embarrass yourself in front of someone who holds your career in their hands" kind of scary. You rehearse answers, research the company, try to anticipate every curveball question, and still somehow feel like you're stumbling over your own words. 

I once spent eight months interviewing at a single company, cycling through phone screens, video calls, and in-person interviews, all while trying not to spiral into existential dread about my career. And now you're telling me the job market is even worse than it was back then? Yeah, college grads have it rough.
