Failed background check- still feeling sore/cheated
It’s been a year plus since this happened but I am still hurt by it. I’m so depressed right now. I used to work in finance until I was laid off in late 2024 and I have struggled to come back in since. I was laid off from role, and to be honest, it was for the best as things just weren’t working out.
I ended up receiving an offer Apr 2025 for a dream role at GS, butt the offer was rescinded due to a failed background. Bear in mind, I host no sanctions, criminal record history, bad credit etc. The recruiter who I was working with told me that my references were fine, but the corp would not delve into the reason for the failed bc (any ideas why btw?)
I’m completely lost now, working a low-paying manual labour job I hate whilst knowing I can do more. But, at this time, I don’t know what to do more.
That’s all, just needed to clear my mind. Every day that passes is painful and I feel like packing it all in, but the slight hope that everything can change in a minute is the only thing that stops me.
Please give me some advice, and thank you so much if you do. I really need to change my circumstance.
