I'm sorry. It sucks, but maybe the job wasn't meant to be. You are going to go for bigger and better things! Good luck OK!

If they did that to you, it wasn't the right job to be in. They could've been a lot worse and made you unhappy once you were in the job. Keep looking!

That sounds like it hurt, maybe it's for the best though! Something better will come through and you'll be able to brag about your dream job.

Keep your chin up, it could've been worse if you'd told them you were getting highly paid, sorry you didn't get the job, good luck for your next interview

Sorry to hear OP. I'm on the job hunt too and they led me to believing I had nailed the interview then gave the job to someone else. So know exactly how you feel. Here's hoping there's much better out there for both of us :)

It is better to find out you don't have a job before you start it than after.

Something like that happened to me before. It really sucks. I wish you the best of luck in your job search, OP. Maybe you'll find something better.

Just tell your friends and relatives that it was an early April's Fool Day joke. Surely you'll get something better soon.
