Respectfully, I think this attitude only contributes to the problem. It needs to be not shameful to try and fail, not shameful to have periods of unemployment, not shameful to bark up the wrong tree.
The more successful people who admit their past weaknesses, the less shameful it becomes. Having 150+ rejections shouldn't be a problem. The problem is the person (who? me) too scared to do those 15 or 150 applications in the first place.
- vonmoltke 12y agoI was going to post a direct response myself, but I think yours captures the essence of my issues with that post. As someone with well over 100 rejections by that standard[1] over the past five years, attitudes like that really rub me the wrong way. I have a hard time even getting companies to talk to me, though I am working with someone to do something about that. [1] Application but no offer
