    I try to think about the process as building a skill. It doesn't matter whether or not I get a rejection.

    Every time I send out an application I get a little better - maybe tweak the CV a bit, or improve the wording in the cover letter, or discover some new job site or group of companies that I haven't considered before, or generally get faster and more efficient working the system.

    What the hell is this, ganging up on people?

    Look, you don't seem to realise just how bad I am feeling about my constant unemployment and this miserable jobless place where I am living.

    It is NO picnic.

    I think you have to be patient . As what they say , when the door is closed and locked you have to learn to get through the window. Just dont lose hope that someday youll be accepted .
