Over three months, I've applied to three front-end roles and got rejection emails stating "We have progressed with other candidates with more specific experience for the time being". A few days to a week after closing, the same vacancy is advertised again. I'm a boot camp grad transitioning from a related industry with years of transferrable experience. A month after receiving a rejection email, I discovered a connection from my boot camp (cohort after mine) landed a job with Octopus. He was also transitioning from a different industry and had no development experience. I'm confused about why my applications weren't considered for a screening or tech test. The emails mention staying tuned and applying to new roles. I reached out for feedback but got no response. I've given up on applying to Octopus. I felt like I'm not wanted.
