Rejected… Really Fast!
So last Sunday, around 10ish, I was ‘bored’ at home, and decided to finally start sending CVs to a number of different jobs vacancies I had found in the net… So I sent 5-6 applications, and went all cheered up to bed.
Monday, 9:38am, open my email… and I find 3 rejection emails! At 9:38am! 3 REJECTION EMAILS!! Wow… I don’t think I had been rejected this fast since that time when I was 17 and decided to use the how you doin’ chat-up line from Friends.

Look at the bright side: those people actually thought you were worth replying to. Usually one sends out 100 applications and receives… 2 rejection emails. All the rest just press Delete or bin your CV.
PS. For those looking for new jobs, you must accept that it usually goes:
-you send out 100 CVs — you get two rejection letters
-you send out 1000 CVs — you get 5 rejection letters and maybe, one phone interview
And it happens to everyone, so continue sending the scrap paper to all those companies!
