Ever been hooked up to a polygraph and quizzed about your own life? Would you pass the test?

In the premiere episode of Thank You for Your Interest, host Rebekah Sebastian interviews Kim, a traveling nurse from Arizona who once found herself in that very situation. Before Kim’s healthcare calling was confirmed, she was a job-seeker on the hunt for purpose and passion. She thought she found it when she applied to a federal agency, but as she advanced through the process, unexpected twists made her question everything.

Listen as Kim shares her rejection story with heart and humor, while Rebekah and co-host Samantha Gattsek chat about their own job rejections and musings on modern work life. Stick around for the Not Safe for Work (NSFW) segment at the end of the show, featuring your voicemails. This week — a mishap from listener who brought his mom to a job interview.

Rejection is universal, yet seldom discussed openly. Each episode, hosted by podcaster and professional job seeker, Rebekah Sebastian, explores the most heartbreaking, hilarious, or hellish job rejection stories from job seekers just like you — a reminder that rejection happens to the best of us.

From being ghosted after nailing an audition, to bombing a high stakes interview, listen in as we laugh, cry, and connect through the stories of rejection that shape us. So the next time you get the dreaded “Thank you for your interest” email, consider circling back to this podcast for some much needed solidarity.

Mondays in October!
