I have said this numerous tines before. I am the most rejected person you'll meet. Applied to almost 100+ roles, 27 straight rejections, zero interviews, recruiters ghosting me mid-conversation
but I refused to give up the same stubbornness and attitude that brought me here I carried it with me in my job search. I would burn in jealousy looking at people doing better and posting about getting hired on LinkedIn every time I scrolled so it was now a prestige and reputation thing now. I couldn't take no for an answer like this is not it man so I kept grinding everyday. Kept applying.
Then out of fucking nowhere two final round offers in the same week. Same resume and I did not let those opportunities go to waste and hit it out of the stadium on both those chances and bagged both the offers. Only 2 chances I had to make it count and I bloody well did. Moral of the story. The job market is a brutal RNG casino run by recruiters and HRs. 99 rejects don’t mean shit when the 100th is the one that prints it’s all about surviving long enough for the dice to finally stop rolling snake eyes.
So keep sending the apps Keep grinding, Keep the LinkedIn profilemaxxed. One day the algorithm might stop hating you for 0.0003 seconds and that’s all you need. And Don't let anyone tell you you are not good enough and always believe in yourself, your abilities. There's no point in pointing fingers or blaming things for being unfair. Things only start changing when you take the initiative and put the effort.
