"Can someone explain 'not the right fit for the culture' to me like I'm a moron?"

I actually have had a lot of interviews in the few months I’ve been looking for a new career. Hiring managers have my resume, therefore they see my abilities. It’s like when I get to the team interview, the actual people I would be working with, it all falls apart.

I am very likable! Customer Service and People Pleasing are my specialties. ☺️

I also can easily run the flow of a business from open to close by myself if necessary. I would love to work in a team environment though.

I have great work ethic. I am a dedicated employee. My work history shows that as well.

What am I missing about these peer interviews?

I am a mature woman of 50, but literally look 35. So I don’t think it’s my age. It’s actually usually brought up at the interview when they’re doing the math, how young I look.

I love working with people of all ages, and supporting management to make their workdays easier.

Willing to listen to any constructive criticism or advice.

Thank you!🙏🏻

I literally feel like I’m in grade school, and am being chosen last for kickball!
