It's a tough market now. Rejections are the default, and everyone hiring will be looking for a discount deal. As compared to last year, I felt like a champion trying to find jobs; nearly every major company in the country would approach me. So it could just be bad timing. I saw some stats that people who graduate right after the 2008 recession never catch up to the career growth of their peers.
