Two very good interviews for great jobs in one week - and two rejections. Really makes me want to give up.

yeah, I guess Im rather picky about what I interview for - I hadn't had any in a while so I was totally excited.

Oh well, more dealing with Cauleen Smith letters!

Ross Perot was rejected by 63 banks before he found one willing to back him on a little business he wanted to start. It later became known as EDS. He believed in himself and his idea. You have at least as much intelligence as he, and are a much nicer person. so there.

That's kind of like the time where everybody told me I was a great student and I should apply to good schools and I got rejected from every place but my second safety school. In hindsight it was probably the best thing for me, but I remember looking out over the barren Sonoran desert, thinking, "What am I doing, my life is over."

Keep on pushing, you'll break through eventually! Remember, these are random events, and all you have to fall back on your personal probability of success. If you apply to enough jobs, you're guaranteed to get one.

That still weirds me out to this day, your CV was seriously packed. I wonder what you did wrong--or if you were maybe bizarrely unlucky with admissions committees.

HJ and Tom - these were for jobs. I havent even started to think about graduate school. have a job I like OK right now but would rather be doing something more directly related to my degree

Oh of course, but the feeling of rejection is the same! My advice is the same: just keep trying and you're bound to find something.
