I can still remember the sinking feeling in my chest after my fourth rejection. I had spent months preparing for job interviews, carefully tailoring my CV, practicing answers, and showing up professionally. Yet every time, I left feeling defeated, like my efforts didn’t matter.
Each rejection chipped away at my confidence. I started doubting myself: Was I not good enough? Was my dream of a stable career slipping further away with each “thank you, but no” email? I felt exhausted, emotionally drained, and close to giving up.
One night, after staring blankly at my phone yet again, I realized I needed to approach things differently. Instead of relying only on repetition, I decided to seek practical support and fresh perspective.
I reviewed my documents more critically and asked for feedback. That’s when I discovered small details I had overlooked — formatting issues, unclear wording, and missing information that could affect first impressions.
I learned that sometimes, success isn’t blocked by lack of ability, but by subtle presentation mistakes. After making adjustments, refining my CV, and walking into the next interview with renewed confidence, everything changed.
The fifth opportunity felt different. The conversation flowed, my strengths were clear, and for the first time in months, I felt truly seen. Soon after, I finally received the offer I had been waiting for.
