      nother night, another night. Keyona was quite tuckered out from her day. She would have loved to have been tired from back-to-back meetings and water cooler chats but instead, it was more Sorry, another qualified candidate was selected replies. Three popped up on her phone that day, one via text, the rest through email. Her job-only inbox was cluttered with either Thank you for applying or Thank you for your application but… emails.
